No, you do not need an online computer or an internet connection. Your web site can simply be an extension to your existing advertising media.  Placing your email and website details on your company cards, brochures and including them in your press advertising, yellow pages, etc. is a potent and uninhibiting way of allowing people to view your company details in depth.  It also suggests your company as both modern and forward thinking.

(Emails may be viewed from a computer connected to the internet anywhere in the world.)

More-clix websites provides your company with as many email addresses inclusive with hosting, and also email forwarding from your website to any existing email you may prefer.

A domain name is your unique web site address (An IP number - similar to a phone number) which will be your address on the internet. These take the following form: -

www.yourcompanyname.co.uk.
The registrars for different domain names make a charge every 1 or 2 years to allow you to use the name.  They are controlled by governments and only approved companies can register a name for you. In the UK the authority for domain names is Nominet.  A .co.uk is a preferred suffix for UK trading companies.  Many companies also register a .com (USA registration) as these have a connotation of being worldwide trading addresses.

Yes, provided you choose to register your domain name with more-clix.  Also, you are allowed to transfer your domain name to any other I.S.P.(Independent service provider - hosting platform) of your choice, whenever you wish free of charge.

Beware! as this is not necessarily the case with many hosting companies!

Some registration companies register your domain name for an apparently low price.  However, if you later decide to transfer your name and host your site elsewhere, you may be liable to pay an added fee (at whatever level the registering company deem appropriate).

No, considering that a published web site is available to a worldwide audience, this alone can enhance your company's image, or even find new market places in which you can operate.

By complementing your traditional forms of advertising e.g. newspapers, magazines, radio, TV etc this can prove an extremely cost effective way of additionally promoting your organisation, business or club.

Also unlike other media based advertising, web sites can be made interactive (with on-line ordering and forms for information exchange) and you are able to obtain feedback from your customers in seconds.

As your company grows you can also expand your web site and implement more sophisticated facilities, so your initial outlay can be quite small.

Your website needs to be 'hosted' on a computer which is continually connected to the internet, an I.S.P.(Internet Service Provider) so your site can be viewed on the internet.

Web hosting needs to be reliable, secure(password protected) from hackers and backed-up enabling your customers to view your site 24 hours a day.  More Clix also provide accurate site statistics so you can determine the growth in visitors to your website.

Support for Email, forms, SSL, password protected pages and MySQL are available.

To enable ecommerce you require a shopping basket or use forms designed to transfer information to an enabled internet banking facility such as Nochex or Paypal.

Simple ecommerce for say up to 100 articles could be via a hosted basket that could cost less than £100.00 per annum.

More complex systems where stock control is required and other data base management could cost as much as £300.00 - £400.00 per annum.

Internet banking charges also apply to transactions (typically 3% - 5% of each transaction) depending on your chosen provider, in much the same way as banks charge for P.D.Q. machines.

We offer a free consultation at our office or within 5 miles, otherwise we will visit you provided you agree to pay our travelling costs.(London & Home Counties).

If you accept our terms and wish to use our website design services we will require a fee of approximately 50% of the estimated total fee immediately and the remainder on completion after the approved website is launched.

Charges for ecommerce must be paid before they are enabled.

All our websites are 'optimised' for the web.  This implies the correct build status (text not graphics on pages that search engine crawlers read) and the use of keywords, both description and content in the machine language used (HTML).  We submit all more-clix websites to Google.com on launch.

Website Promotion You can help to promote your own website by submitting it to other search engines e.g. MSN and Yahoo and by including your web address in all company paperwork, vehicle signwriting and in your adverts.

If you require customers who are using web based searches it is necessary to pay to increase your rating in search engine rankings.  Programmes such as Google Adwords can produce a very good response.  Contact us for more information.
