More frequently than one would think likely, We get emails from potential new customers asking us if it’ss possible to move a website from a amateur web designer or a bad web host without the cooperation of that person or company.
This occasionally happens because the web developer or web host has refused to relinquish control of the site when asked to. For example, they may not have given the owner his/her login and password so that the latter can access the site to update it themselves. This article attempts to address the problem.

In almost every meeting I attend with what is potentially a new customer I ask the question what is your “budget” and what are your expectations….this usually provokes a long silence twiddling of fingers and the response of “how much should a new website cost?” quickly followed by “This is much more than I expected” – and ” I have a friend, relative, next door neighbour, who can do it for a few hundred quid”…

If you’re reading this, you probably spend a lot of time online. (And if you don’t, your interest in online marketing is commendable.) It’s easy for web designers like us to forget that there are people who don’t spend as much time online. When we encounter a website that seems to be designed by one of these people or wannabe designer, it throws us for a loop. “How could they not know that rainbow text isn’t OK?” we exclaim. “Is this site seriously playing music at me?” “Why can’t I find anything?” “why is it built using tables” and our favourite “why have they chosen to go with a web designer who’s site is worse then their own?” Read More »

No matter how brilliant a website’s design, no matter how elegant its navigation, sooner or later visitors will decide whether to take action because of something they read. In the end, the effectiveness with which a website converts visitors hinges on words. If a new website is going to hit all the right notes, its content must be just as well crafted as its design and programming.
