I want a website that I can add material to myself. Can you help?
We can please see the information on our SMART content management system
What makes the best website?
One that produces the results you wanted from the people you wanted to attract. This is normally achieved from:
- Knowing what your aim and audience is for the web site
- Producing the content in a clear, precise way - remember, the average first page is scanned for only 6 seconds
- Producing enough information to service your audience but without cluttering the page. It is difficult to read on screen
- Producing a design that fits your company image
- Not over cluttering with whistles and bells such as unnecessary animation which can distract the eye from the content your want them to read.

How can I ensure the search engines will find me?
A new websites takes between 2 weeks and 6 months to be registered by the search engines. If it is important to be on page 1 of the search engine results on day one then you can pay to set up a PayPerClick advert.
We do our utmost to optimise the design and code to ensure your best possible position but we cannot guarantee front page results.
What is the relevance of good web design code and search engines?
Sometimes a great looking site is totally unreadable to the search engines and customers will not be able to find you. At Budget Web Sites we use XHTML/CSS and great design to ensure the your website looks good and search engines can read them.
Search engines prefer CSS-based sites and are likely to score them higher in the search rankings because:
- The code is cleaner and therefore more accessible to search engines
- Important content can be placed at the top of the HTML document
There is a greater density of content compared to coding - In particular, search engines cannot access flash content unless alternative text is provided.
