FAQs
Tradespeople can benefit from having a website because it allows you to showcase your work, services, and experience to potential clients. A website can also make it easier for people to find and contact you, as well as provide information about your business and credentials.
We'll have an initial 10-15 minute phone call, where we will gather essential information about your business needs for your website.
We aim to have your website live in 4 weeks - often sooner. Once launched, it can take between 24 and 48 hours for your website to go live across the internet.
Yes. All our latest websites have responsive designs which means they adapt to provide the best view of the content on the device used, including tablets and mobiles.
No. We don't usually use templates unless a client specifically requests a template design. Each website is designed to meet the requirements of the business and match existing or required branding. Each page layout can be different in order to make the most of the content provided and customised accordingly.
As part of our special tradespeople website offer, we will write the content based on research and information we learn in our initial chat. This is included as part of the package, so you don't incur any extra copywriting costs.
Our websites are fully customisable to suit your needs. We can add pages, include greater functionality, offer social media management and other ways to promote your website. If you have additional needs for your website, please contact us to ask our advice and we will be happy to give you a quote.
This offer has a minimum 12 month contract. After that period is up, if you no longer wish to keep the website, then we will remove the website. If we administer your domain name for you, then we can transfer it to another supplier but there may be a small admin fee to do this from our Registrars.
It can take between 24 and 48 hours for your website to go live across the internet. We'll let you know when this has happened and provide details to access your email. We will also be registering your website with search engines in order to prompt them to index your website. In theory, it can take a few months for Google to index your site but in reality it usually takes a few weeks or even days. Until you have been indexed, your site will not appear in search results. Your ranking for different search terms will improve over time but is of course dependent on competition for similar websites in your sector. Please contact us about our SEO service for information on how to improve your search engine ranking.
Our website packages all include ongoing support - it is fundamental to what activ offers clients. We maintain the security and operational efficiency of your website by regular software updates for the server and website as required. We include support by email and phone in the use of your website and related online marketing. We will also provide minor updates and changes to your website; most small tasks that take 5-10 mins will be included e.g. add a testimonial, change prices, add an image etc. Website functionality upgrades, adding new content, features or work involving the redesign of the website is not included and will be charged at the current hourly rate. Any regular or scheduled content updates are not included unless agreed when the website order was completed. This includes adding news or blog articles - the content management provides an easy to use function for this and activ will provide support where necessary.
We will always tell you when charges will be applicable and can provide a quote for work on request. You will also receive emails from us offering further advice to support you in developing your website as a key marketing tool for your business.
Our online shop package also includes an initial onsite training session to get you familiar with updating and running your online shop.
Other support arrangements including onsite training and support can also be agreed. Please contact us to discuss your specific requirements.
All our sites are optimised for search engines. We use code that is friendly to search engines which means it is easy to read and index. We will discuss your key marketing terms which you expect people to use when searching for your products and services. The website will then be built bottom up based on those terms. This gives you the best chance of being found for these terms on Google and other search engines. However, you are open to competition and so exact positions in search engine results cannot be guaranteed. Good ranking results also depend on how much other promotion of your business and website takes place online. We do provide other monthly SEO services for clients who wish to further improve their ranking for search terms related to their business - contact us for more information about our SEO services.
