Frequently Asked Questions

 

Why is there Advertising on the sites?

A system like this cannot be provided at the setup price only. The only way we can recoup the overall and per site investment is by taking the advertising revenue.

 

We rely on the advertising to help fund future developments and to keep the ongoing support costs down.

 

How many adverts will there be?

The advertising will be enough to notice but not enough to be obtrusive. Put it this way - if we overdid it then you wouldn't buy the system and customers wouldn't use it.

 

Where will the adverts be?

The advertising on the website sites will be on the left hand side under the navigation, at the bottom of selected pages such as entertainments and what's on, and on the right side of the site (actually outside the website).

 

The newsletter will carry a single advert at the bottom of the content.

 

Can I stop the advertising in the newsletter?

It is not possible to suppress the advertising in the weekly email newsletter.

 

How long does it take to create a site?

Basic systems can be up and running same day. Bespoke designs can take between 24 and 72 hrs. We aim to have all sites completed within 7 days.

 

I don't want certain features - how do I switch it off?

It's all in the administration.

 

How easy is it to add new pages?

Very easy. Just create a new page, add the content and then add it to the navigation

 

I've been told a CMS (Content Management System) best?

That's what this is. However it's not a generic CMS system which in our professional opinion are quite poor.

 

I've been told a CMS system is a bad idea?

Yes they are when talking about generic solution. They nearly always require you to continue to pay the developer to do the work - at expensive developer rates. Our solution is so easy it doesn't need us.

 

What support is there for this system?

We try to be available or have people on call from 10am to 10pm, 7 days a week.

 

How much are future upgrades?

All upgrades to the system version you purchase are included. If there is a major rewrite of the system then we reserve the right to charge a fee for this upgrade. However, since the very first prototype of the system we haven't charged for upgrades - and they have been pretty major. We envisage any fees will be to just cover or contribute to technical work involved if upgrades are complex. All upgrades are optional.

 

I want some additional features - can you do them?

You can have special pages created for you at a discounted development rate. This rate is low because we may look to use some or all of the code to enhance the entire product. If you want an exclusive development price then we would quote for this as part of our standard web development services.
