Q: What images can I use?

A: A picture tells a 1000 words! Your website should have lots of images and pictures, BUT you cannot use images “found” on the Internet – that’s stealing. Most images online and on other websites are covered by copyright. You either hire a photographer to take your own pictures, or you can use stock photography. We can supply you with contacts for a photographer as well as details of stock pictures that would compliment your business.

Q: How do you write the text for our website?

A: Writing text is never easy – but its essential. You know your business the best and therefore you need to spend the time thinking about what you want your website to say. As we know its not easy so we employ a copyrighter that can save you the hassle of writing the content yourself.

Q: How much text do you need on each page?

A: This is a much debated argument, you need a sharp and to the point text for your customers – so that they can grasp what you’re trying to say quickly and easily, the search engines like to read text too! at least 200-300 words. Finding the fine line between the two is never a simple task.
