Web Design
"...the new site is most impressive and very easy to navigate..."
Recent reports from Yellow Pages show that 59% of small businesses in the UK still don't have a website. Many of these businesses don't see how it could help them - many are simply daunted by the huge array of options available, and design company after design company saying 'email us for a quote' and coming back with a list of huge potential costs.
But SMEs can't afford to ignore the net - yet recent figures from the Office of National Statistics show that almost three-quarters of Britons use the web to look for companies.
Richland Media & Communications is proud to be able to provide simple, cost-effective web design services for SMEs, with a variety of packages available at fixed costs.

- A three-page site about your business, in your company colours, with a few hundred words of text on each describing your business, your history, and how to contact you.
- Includes three or four images, including your logo, which we'll scan in if you want.
- A simple, cost-effective way to dip your toe into the world of the Web.

Optional Extras
Add a newsletter to an option A or B site
We'll install the same professional-quality newsletter delivery software that powers our weekly letter on your site. Interested customers can enter their email address, and - every week, month, year, or whenever you want - you can send a newsletter to them all. Fully installed and tested - £125
Hosting your site
You may already have web space available with your Internet service provider. NTL, for example, gives its users a little web space with their account. We can place your web site here for no extra charge, or we can simply email it to you for you to upload yourself.
If you don't have any space, or you don't think that it would be suitable, we can set up an account for you with the hosting company that we use, PHPWebHosting. A reputable American hosting company, they charge only $10 per month - around £6. The account would be entirely in your name, and billed separately to your credit card.
www.YourName.com
Don't want your business' address to be http://yourisp.com/~yourname ? We can register a domain name - such as yourbusiness.co.uk, yourbusiness.com, or whatever you wish - and move it to your account. This costs as little as £10 a month, and differs depending on the name wanted - .com or .co.uk. The name will also be slightly cheaper if you also host with us.
What We Need
All we need to start designing your site is:- The text for your web site, in electronic format (text, rich text, HTML or Microsoft Word format). If you need text typing in from printed brochures or letters, then we do have to charge a little more.
- Pictures and logos for your web site - either in electronic or paper form. We'll happily scan any photos you need.
- Your choice of colours, designs, and any other requests.
