Starter website - Frequently asked questions



How do I choose a domain name?

 

Your domain name is a unique name that identifies your website on the internet. I offer '.CO.UK' and '.COM' domain names at present. If your business is solely based in the UK with a UK market, then I would recommend selecting a domain name that ends in '.CO.UK'. When selecting a domain name try and keep it as short as possible with no hyphens if you can. Also try to keep it less than three seperate words. Remember, your domain name can NOT contain spaces. If your company name is 'Daves Pet Supplies' then a suitable domain name would be 'davespetsupplies.co.uk'. To check if a name is available for registering, use the domain name checker at the bottom of the starter website page.

 

Do I get a professional email address to match my domain name?

 

Yes!  You can have up to THREE pop3/smtp email accounts in the format This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it etc This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it . Alternatively I can setup up to THREE email forwaders so your new professional emails addresses simply forward all your email to your current home/work email address (hotmail etc).  This enables you to keep your current email setup, but still have a professional front end email address for your customers.

 

What happens if I want to move my website or domain name?

 

If at any point (even after the first day of a live site!) you wish to move your website to another host or move your domain name to another company then this is NO problem. We do not charge to move a site or domain name.


Where can I find some good quality images for my site?

 

Some people will already have good quality photos of their products and services. They may also have professional logos in digital form ready for the website. Other companies may not have anything at all. If this is the case, you can use some of the free stock photo offerings from the web. One such website is STOCK EXCHANGE. PLEASE ENSURE THAT YOU HAVE PERMISSION TO USE ANY IMAGES YOU SUBMIT TO ME.

 

Do I have access to the web server so I can change the content myself?

 

No.  Any modifications must be carried out by Logic Red Web Design.  Simply email me your modifications and I can usually update your site within 48 hours. Please note that you do not have direct access to the webserver so you will be unable to perform the modifications yourself. Modifications are currently priced at £12 per 15 minutes of design time.

 

Can you change the template colours, sizes and style?

 

No. The template style is fixed.  If you require a custom site with colour and size suited to your content and logo, then you will require a custom website.

 

I still have some questions, can you help?

 

OF COURSE! Please contact Logic Red by email or phone.
