At WEBY Systems we consult you at all stages of the design. We can develop a website that will match the existing look of your colour scheme and layouts that you use in your correspondence and promotional material.

Before we start a design we will need to establish the basic principals for the site, the rough layout or frame work that the pages will be built on. Just like building a bricks and mortar store a site plan must be developed before moving on to the layout for each room, what the colour scheme will be and what content will be displayed.

Rather than starting from scratch each time and reinventing the wheel we have some standard plans or Templates available for you to choose from, you can view our current template range on the Templates page. Starting with a template we can then move onto the style of your website, the colours that you want to use and any additional materials, photos, banners etc..

We can develop the website as a static website using standard html or a more complex design requiring scripting to work with backend databases, forms and shopping carts, as a prime example this site is developed using PHP and works with MySQL databases.

To keep your website up to date we can also supply you with a Content Management Systems that will allow you to update the content of your site through your internet browser without requiring any skills above that of a word processor.

When it comes to developing pages they can be any length but the longer the page and the more data on it the longer it will take to load.

Costs for design of a site will vary depending on the time required to develop the site, the use of pre-existing templates will require less time and so will cost less. For all development work we require a 50% deposit before starting work, with the balance on completion of the site and before delivery. Completed sites will be hosted on a development area for full testing before final signoff by the customer.

Once work has started any changes to the site design or extra content may incur additional charges.
