 We
are always looking at ways to help people who would like
their own Website, but are not sure where to start. That
is why we supply the information you find here on the
Lankester Designs Website. We hope that by reading our
hints and tips on Web design, studying our colour charts
and browsing through our glossary and FAQ sections, you
will feel better equipped to make decisions about your own
Website requirements.
We are also very aware that the cost may be
a problem, or more specifically, not knowing what
the cost is likely to be.
 Generally,
we know the price of something before we even make
enquiries. If we are thinking of buying a new house, for
example, we instruct an estate agent to send us details of
houses within a certain price range. In the shops, if we
are interested in an item, we look for the price tag. But
when it comes to Websites, how and where do we find out
how much they cost!
Unfortunately, it is virtually impossible
to publish a fixed price for a Website. If we take the
previous example, of buying a new house, it would be the
equivalent of the estate agent telling us that all houses
are exactly the same price (however, I expect if they were
all the price of a one bedroom semi, we would be unlikely
to complain!).
Similarly, with Websites, the size and
complexity of the 'design and build' means the cost will
be different for each individual site.
 Because
of this site 'assessment' issue and the fact that the
majority of people do not know whether their requirements
are complex or not, they become wary about the potential
of being mislead. This is a genuine problem and it
prevents many people from making those initial enquiries
to Web design companies like ourselves.
So, we thought it was time to produce an
'off-the-shelf' Website, where all the details are there
for you to see. The design, the colours, the number of
pages and of course the cost. |

 We
have produced a simple, yet stylish, design that we
can adapt to take your company logo, or hobby title,
with links to six pages and in one of six colour
schemes. There are 2 variations for each design, so
that you have even more choice over button style and
page layout.
The design features a quality landscape photograph
from Corbis,
one of the best known names in the stock photography
business. The cost of this image is included in the
price of the Website.
 There
will be no loud, garish banners brandishing our name
across your site, just the very smallest copyright
note, (in 8pt font), at the very bottom of each page.
All you have to do is contact us, using
either the form opposite or by phone, and we will
explain how best to send us your text and logo. The
only caveat here is that the text must be in
electronic format, preferably Word, but an ordinary
text (.txt) document would be fine.
 We
will also FTP the finished Website to your own domain.
If you have yet to sort out who will host your
Website, we will either e-mail you the completed
files, or recommend an ISP for you.
Click on any of the Website thumbnails below to see
1024 x 768 images in both available styles.
* colour schemes available are woodland, sea,
sunrise, sunset, lake and moody.
Please note that at the time of producing these
designs, Swift Software Limited was used as a
ficticious company name and the domain,
swiftsoftware.co.uk, was not owned by any company. |
