Free advice about your web presence
Do you ever get that feeling when you know you should be doing more but can’t quite put your finger on it?
Or maybe you do know what you need to do, and you’ve put it on the “not right now I’m too busy” pile?
Let’s have a look a couple of things that only take five minutes and have potentially great benefits. But first:
Q: Cyberspace::UK, what do you mean by web presence?
A: Your website, your social media and the creative flow in the back office all goes together to form your web presence. We can help you with all aspects of that.
And here are THREE pro-tips that we’re giving you for FREE.
- Have a website. A website demonstrates professionalism and builds trust. This is probably the most important reason there is for having one. See the “Web Services” tab for more info.
- Mention your website EVERYWHERE. It might seem obvious but you’d be surprised at the number of businesses that don’t have their website on business cards or their Facebook, Twitter or other Social Media (SM) profiles. It’s a shocking omission!
- Put fresh, relatable content on your sites and use Social Media to drive traffic there. By fresh, we mean fresh that users would like to see. Special offers, recent jobs you’ve done and any updates. Beware though, simply re-dating old content won’t cut the mustard and thin content is valueless.
In general, the quality of activity you generate helps propagate the site mention, increases site authority and ranking, which increases your organic reach and increases your business. 
Not sure how to do any of that? Contact us.
It’s your website, be proud of it, use it, love it. 
We want to build you a website.
We love helping small businesses and individuals with their web presence. All of our websites come with rock-solid, reliable hosting at very reasonable prices that small businesses and even a hobbyist can afford.
Packages range from straightforward design and implementation, to longer term site maintenance and assistance offers. Included in all of these is an offer to train you on how to update your own content on the site so that you can operate with more independence, lowering costs.
Add-ons can include social media integration, chatbots, integration with services like Mail Chimp, Cloudflare CDN and security integration and much, much more. These bring your site to life and enable your hobby or business to gain real leverage over the competition.

Why use us?
If you want a cheap website you can do it yourself of course, or get a friend to do it or sign up to Wix (or similar) or you can get one via Fiverr. Bang. Job done. Or is it?
Will it meet your needs or did you, er, get what you paid for? Does it feel like you’ve got a website and there’s a bit of a “so what” moment where nothing really changed and you wonder what the point was?
That’s because your requirements weren’t properly identified or even delivered. And that’s where we come in. Your web presence is so much more than just the website and we can help with both.
If you really want an inexpensive, good, reliable, professional and secure website with sound advice and perhaps some of our other services, then come to us.
But first, a question we hear all the time:
Why have a website, can’t I just have a Facebook page?
Go ahead, just have a Facebook page. No one is going to stop you. 😃
A website tells people you mean business though. A Facebook page alone does not scream authenticity to anyone and is as ephemeral as the wind.
A website looks professional, builds trust and is under your control.
A Facebook page can be maliciously reported and closed. It can be “hacked”, and I use that term loosely. Scammers can create a spoof of your page which you might find hard to get removed. They could destroy your reputation.
The Facebook page is also not yours and never will be. Have you considered what might happen if you decide to leave Facebook due to privacy concerns or any other reason? What if you get banned? Is that your business gone?
The Secret. (But not the one I mentioned earlier).
The secret is to use your Facebook or other social media page to drive your follower traffic to your site as the “single source of truth”. This is why Facebook allows links and has dedicated buttons to link to your site. In fact, many huge corporations use their page to communicate with millions of clients which is the intended use and is great. It’s also great for Facebook Ads but that’s an entirely different story for another time.
Your site is where your offer is, it’s your shop front on the Internet, and it’s entirely under your control. You use services like Facebook to drive people there.
Why do I have to pay anyone to look after my website?
It’s a great question!
Websites can be built really quickly and relatively cheaply through the use of a range of free and premium tools that are being constantly developed and updated.
These same tools and many of the core technologies are evolving to help combat security vulnerabilities and to provide new features.
This all means websites are no longer a build, set up and forget scenario. Maintenance and updates are done through a combination of tools that are purchased, and the ongoing time invested by the owner (you) or by paid help.
In some cases, especially with sites that require no content updates, if you had a good hosting service you could feasibly have the CMS, themes and plugins set to auto-update and then you’ll have a set and forget site.
However, you are still balancing the lack of maintenance expenditure against the risk of an update causing a problem and may have to call someone in to sort a problem out. Many people accept that risk but this all depends on your risk appetite.
In most scenarios these days, your site is not only being frequently updated at a server and software “technical” level, which require a degree of technical knowledge and oversight, but you might also want to have content updated.
We’re absolutely committed to empowering our clients to do these content updates themselves which is why we offer a training session in each web design package.
But what if you’re just too busy running your business?
What if you like the idea of being able to do your own content updates but you just don’t have the time?
Don’t worry about your site again.
We can do the content updates for you, as often as you like, and at a rate that’s extremely competitive and we’ll also include the technical maintenance.
We can make the headaches go away. Just contact us for more details.
We do site reports that tell you things you need to know.
If you have concerns around technical aspects of your site such as performance and security, or Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) concerns, we can help.
We run state of the art passive scans on your website and provide you with a full technical and SEO audit report. As part of our unique selling point, we offer you a detailed analysis with a comprehensive summary, including a prioritised action plan.
A one off report £75.
A year of monthly scans with Scan 1, Scan 6, Scan 12 analysis and summaries £150. The monthly frequency allows you to see trend patterns forming and allows for rankings analysis to take place.
Use Case:
In a strange twist of fate, quite commonly, we’re asked by clients to scan a site that someone else manages for them.
They use that scan as evidence to… how shall I put this… urge the people they pay to look after their site, to actually look after their site. It’s obviously like the wild west out there! 🤠
We’re happy to do this, and we always give you an accurate report in neutral, plain language so you can have peace of mind or take appropriate action if required.
This contains the social media secret sauce. I’m not sure you’re ready for it, young Padawan.
We are adept at helping businesses like yours fine-tune or even create from scratch their social media strategies.
This is an excellent value service you will receive immediate benefits from.
You’ll also be able to utilise our social media creativity bundle which includes items such as post automation and creating more engaging social media content. It’s a fun process where we examine your brand together and make unique content to wow your audience.
Prices start at £75 for a social media analysis report on your business. This shows engagement and a comparison between you and your competitors.
We can chat about the social media creativity bundle as that is an in person session, we do not do this remotely.
