Why Should I have a Website?
Good question! Having a website can be really beneficial to the marketing and advertising of your business. It can widen your catchment of clients, and keep your regular clients updated and in the loop of whats happening with your business. One of the main advantages to having a website over a flyer, or printed brochure, is it can be changed ‘on the fly’, meaning any company updates can be easily made and quickly changed to reflect those changes.
My business is Regional, is a website right for me?
Absolutely. A website can be one of the most cost-effective ways to market your business. We can optimise your site so that it targets a region specific area, attracting clients and boosting your sales.
What is web hosting?
Once your site has been built it needs a place to live. The term ‘hosting’ refers to the computer where your website and its pages are stored so they are accessible for people to view. The internet is basically a massive network of computers, each of which holds information about where websites are stored, so when you click on a site you instantly get taken to the right site. Without hosting your site cannot exist.
what must my website contain?
Every website is different and should contain elements that are specific to that website and its requirements. However there are a few things that our web design company in Sussex recommends you should always be include in a website, whether it is a simple e-commerce store or a brochure style website:
• Your brand/company name
• A description of your company and what you do
• Your products/services
• Ways to contact you
• Contact name
Do you offer WordPress training?
Yes. Once we have designed your website, we are happy to show you the basics of WordPress and how to update your site yourself. We are always on hand to help if you need any assistance, or have any issues with your website. Or we can update your site for you if you prefer.
My business is National and/or International would a website work for me?
Yes. If your business is national or international we can target both national and international clients. Once your site is live anyone in the world can see it. For an international business, having a website is probably one of the most important promotional tools you can have in your arsenal to promote your business.
What is a domain name?
A domain name is the name of your website. It appears after the https://www. in a web browser and usually ends in either .co.uk or .com. A good domain name should reflect your company name or what you do. It also make it easier for your clients to remember, and reinforces your company name as well.
I run an e-commerce store, how can increase client trust in my store?
It isn’t uncommon to see or hear about or even know someone who has experienced fraud after buying something online. This makes people often feel distrustful about buying off someones ecommerce store, at Gemini Designs we understand this and can show you various ways you can increase client trust, which in turn will lead to an increase in sales!

Our Sussex based web design agency quotes all web design jobs individually. We price our sites depending on the size of the site, any plugins needed and the type of site required.
What Can I do With My Website Once It is Build?
The first thing and most important thing is to promote it. This includes adding the website address to business cards and any promotional materials you have. This is important for driving traffic to the website and seeing your business rates grow.
