TLS/SSL Certificates add layers of privacy and security to users when transferring information across the internet. For most sites, a DV Certificate is enough but higher levels are available.

Recent spotlight sites ...

In April, we launched a great site for Strawberry Shortcake Dining. We have some stunning venues in there and these creations from Scott and team look as good as they taste.

 

In June, we launched a great new article based site for MMAD Rugby Academy. For this one, we took inspiration from news outlet sites and put the more frequent changing content in the spotlight.

What are our Customers saying?

As a stakeholder on each of our projects, we take the opportunity to produce a site that we're proud of every time.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How soon could my new website be live?

Having a good understanding of what you want with examples and prepared content will always help speed things up. Using template starting points are a fast cost effective way to get a small business up and running in no time. Bespoke sites and functionality rich sites typically take longer, depending on your requirements. Setting up email and a holding page in the meantime is often achievable in the first few days

FEATURE:

Evolving Times.
High Expectations.

Reaching your Customers through digital media is critical to the success of any business. Building an online presence doesn't have to be difficult or expensive. Don't get left behind.

How are we visiting websites?

We have been steadily moving from Laptop/Desktops to Mobile devices where Mobiles were used more, for the first time, in November 2019, and are continuing the trend. "Responsive" pages are now built to snap to the display size. With more home-based working, we now have a fairly even balance between Laptop/Desktop and Mobile visitors. (1)

Versatile.
Intuitive.

A visitor will form an opinion in the first 50 milliseconds of their visit! Websites should be clear, simple, fast and easy to navigate. Unlike many who now take a 'mobile-first' approach, we design, develop and test for all device display sizes. Resize your browser width to see how our site adapts to the available display.

Each business is a victim of Digital Darwinism, the evolution of consumer behaviour when society and technology evolve faster than the ability to exploit it.

Our Approach

We've learned to streamline our approach to provide an efficient service and clear value to our Customers. We take a phased approach from understanding what you want right through to ongoing support and looking ahead to your future goals.

1. Discover

Alignment with your objectives, branding and high level content ideas. We gather and build our idea of what you want through conversations, questions and demos. We'll take a look at your competition and inspirations. This can be on site or virtually at a time to suit you. If we can help, we'll suggest options to proceed with time and cost estimates.

2. Design

Having agreed how we proceed, we move on to the fun stuff. We'll gather any logos, branding, media or specific materials that will feature in the site. Here's where we'll research and design your site. Depending on your package, we'll start with Content Development / Copywriting. Outcomes of this phase include wire-frame overview, prototype pages and content for review. We'll get closer to what you want and narrow down on how we're going to proceed. This phase ends with a review before we proceed with development

3. Develop

When we know where we're heading, we start the Development. We've got our best ideas agreed and work towards the first draft of the site. During this phase, there may be multiple touch points to check ideas and gain confidence in the design investment. Draft version of content will be agreed, allowing for another review before we publish the live site. Depending on your package options, you may have the QuickEditor Admin option to make content changes yourself.

4. Prototype

Typically, this is your first draft release of your site but you will have already seen the design and know what's coming. There is usually a list of accompanying questions or confirmations to work through. It's where we fine tune down closer to the finished site. We'd usually password protect this for you to review and provide feedback. This is an opportunity for adjustments before site launch.

5. Launch

Here, we go. The big day. After a quality assurance check with you, we'll publish the site. It's sometimes good to allow a week or two before relying on the site aligning with any launch campaigns you may have in mind. We don't need to publish all the site in one go. We can plan a staggered release.

6. Support

We have support options to suit different needs. E-mail, Website, E-Commerce Maintenance, SSL, Backup/Restore, Copywriting, SEO, Social Media and GDPR advice. Whatever you need to keep your focus on your business, we're here to help you get the right level of ongoing support.

Responsive Web Design

Using clean and contemporary designs, we can offer competitive websites that work on all display sizes. For bespoke requirements, we're ready to have some fun with your ideas.

Rapid Development

image

We have extensive experience in development and change management. We follow our own Agile approach where we deliver early for quicker feedback. Let's get on the right track as soon as possible. We'll create an editable light and fast website without the slow bulky loading feel of Wordpress.

"Netscapes took us through the process to create the contemporary image that our Customer expect. From understanding all the technical aspects involved to helping us see how Customers reacted to certain ideas, we felt very supported in providing a fantastic site. Will not go anywhere else"

Gary Howells

Peak Performance Wales

"Netscapes have provided us with a reliably hosted site for many years. We wanted a more traditional site to suit our business and Netscapes easily integrated the tools with our existing booking platforms. Our information is clear to our Customers and ensures we are focussed on providing our best service"

William Hunter

Boars Head, Carmarthen

"I needed a website to launch my own business. Netscapes took me through a busy week of a design ideas and I was up and running the following week. Many of my Customers now say it's why they called me first. Thank you Netscapes"

Chris Morris

Independent Engineer (Comms, TV, CCTV)

We've never done this before. Where do we start?

Our experienced consultant will help you understand the process and meet you on an appropriate technical level. Our aim is to make this as easy and painless as possible so you can focus on your business. Our lead time can vary but we'll aim to give you the best estimates so you can make decisions in line with your plans

Who buys the new domain and registers it in our name?

We accept domain transfers or we're happy to purchase your chosen domain name and register it in your name along with any add-on privacy options

Do you migrate existing sites?

Yes, we can migrate your site to our hosting. We can use templates or build bespoke sites, depending on budget, timing and requirements

Will the site be trusted and secure for our Customers?

We will install simple DV SSL for our hosted sites. If your site involves accepting Customer details or e-commerce, we will offer you more appropriate, OV and EV, options to consider

Could you provide an e-commerce site?

Yes, we do offer e-commerce sites. The solution recommendation will typically depend on how many products you want to sell and the complexity of functionality required. A standard online shop solution is preferred for a larger catalogue of products. For a small range of products, Clients sometimes prefer them built into the main site. Standard payment methods and shipping methods are typically included in the solution.

How do I make changes to my site?

With the Business hosting packages, you get access to our "QuickEditor Admin" tool to make text and picture changes yourself. There may be some circumstances where this doesn't work due to your design but we'll agree these parts before we finalise your site with you. For our Online Shop packages, you can maintain these yourself quickly and easily, supported with tutorials.

Will we be tied into a contract?

By keeping our build costs seperate from hosting costs, we can offer a rolling month by month contract. If you want to move, you own your site and you can take it with you.

Testing PopDrop

What is a domain?
A "domain" is what comes after “@” in an email address, or after “www.” in a web address. The "TLD" part is the last bit on the right after the dot. For example, .com, .co.uk, .uk, .net. If someone asks how to find you online, you'd usually give them your full domain name. When a visitor goes to your domain name, they land on your website. We buy the domain in your name so you own the domain. A analogy often used for domain, website and hosting is your home. The domain is your address. The hosting is the plot of land your home is on. The website is your building.
Which TLS/SSL Certificate would you like?
A TLS/SSL Certificate does 2 things - 1) encrypt the transfer of data between the visitor and the server 2) Provide assurance that you are who you say you are.
In recent years TLS/SSL Certificates have become a necessity for website and their ranking with Google. Without one, your visitors can't trust that their information is going directly to you. There are 3 levels of vetting offering 3 levels of assurance. If unsure, please read our section on TLS/SSL or discuss your current one with us.

Why do I need hosting?
