Web Site Design: Changing Existing Sites/Pages

Changes to Existing Pages

Changes can be to individual page(s) or:

• Cosmetic changes to a whole site to refresh the look and feel of a site but leave the basic text unchanged.
• Complete site rewrite service. Salvaging existing pages that work, rewriting or scrapping problem pages and adding completely new material. Note that access to the web site logs is needed to analysis what pages are successful or not. see the site statistics page for more on this.
• While you are the expert on the material published on your web site. I can often also supply new content (both text and images) for your site.

Contact Bristol PC to discuss any of these options.

Typical Costs

Costs of course vary with your requirements. Ball park figures though would be a one off charge of £150 (UK pounds) for a new 12 page site or £75 for a 4 page site.

If that all over the top for you or more than you wish to pay, for a simple page to put your basic details online. Try the single page web site option.

After your web site goes live

Simple wording changes are usually not charged but after several of this type of change you may be charged £10.

To give an idea of what you get for your money for £10: You would get 20 minutes coding time enough to make very significant changes to a page or indeed several pages. A single change to a style sheet for example, would change all pages using the style sheet - thats usually every pages on smaller web sites.

How many pages should you have on your web site?

This very much depends on your material of course but each page on the site is an opportunity to get more visitors to your web site. Topics well down a long page may not be seen at all by human visitors and will also be given less significance by the search engines.

Single Page Web Sites

Only want a minimal web presence? Try the starter package a one off cost of £25 to present your material on a one page web site.

This is suitable for a basic page: contact information, services offered, advertising products, occasional rental of a holiday home ... and so on.

Web hosting starts from just £10 per year. That would means a web presence on line with one years web hosting, email and your choice of available site name for just £35.

For a single page web site, you supply text and photos in an electronic form - which could be text and photo(s) in an email for example. All material supplied must be your property or used with permission of the owners.

If you have preferences for colours, the format and the general layout of the page, please state them.

As a warning note: I must add that single page web sites usually receive less visitors than multi-page websites. Think of each page as an opportunity to bring more visitors to the web site.

Templates

If you wish to consider other alternatives to bespoke web page design. Try Bristol PC's sister site:- Web Design ... off the shelf.

The site offers a template solution where you take the template of an existing page. You selected colours, layouts, text sizes even images and page headings - so a lot of design work is already done.

After selecting what you wish online, submitting the changes you have done generates an email asking for a quote.
