How long have you been in business?

Since August of 2001.

What is the cost of a website?

The cost of a website varies greatly depending on its size, scope, goals, and intended market. Young Seagull evaluates each of our clients' needs on an individual basis and provides customized, tailored solutions to ensure that your business has a website that will grow with your business and act as an ongoing source of profit, rather than as an advertising expense.

How can I pay?

How long will it take for my web site to be designed?

The timescale of a website design project is often dictated by the client. If you have a deadline in mind we will endeavour to meet it for you. The most common delay in the creation and completion of a new website is waiting for content (text/images) to be sent to us by the client.

Will we need to have a meeting in connection with the website design?

In the majority of cases a meeting isn't necessary and most of our websites are generally completed with contact via email and telephone only. We place suggested website designs onto the Internet in a private place where only yourselves and us can view the content. We then liaise with you regularly to discuss the web designs in order that the website design and functionality is exactly as you wish.

Once my website design is completed -what aftersales service do you offer?

We fully support any website we design and are always available should you encounter any problems or require any enhancements. We offer web site maintenance so that your website need never get out of date.

Will my website design be" Search Engine" friendly?

All our websites are created with search engines in mind and the website design is compliant with search engine guidelines. It is a good idea for your website to be re-evaluated in time as over a period of time the search engines do alter their rules and algorithms and you will want to be certain that your website is kept up to date and complies with new rules etc.

Why don't you have any Flash websites in your portfolio?

The major reason relates to search engines. Search engines cannot, as of the present time, index the elements of a Flash-based website. Since search engines are responsible for approximately 85% of traffic to a website, this becomes a severe handicap for marketing reasons.

We will, however, incorporate Flash elements (such as introductions and rotating banner ads) where and when they are appropriate to do so.

I hear that there are hidden costs associated with web design services. Is this true?

No. We discuss with you your website requirements and then price accordingly and once you have placed an order for your website design with us, that price is strictly adhered to.

I already have a website and I need it updating, can you help me?

Yes, we would be happy to look at you existing website and give you a quote for updating it.

Do you redesign existing websites?

Yes we do. We can redesign, retaining your company corporate style or we can redesign to give you a complete new image. Is your website up to date? Let us provide you a Free of Charge Website Evaluation - we can redesign your website to take advantage of the latest web technologies.

Why don't you have any package prices like some of your competitors?

The simple answer is "they don't work." Preconfigured websites, or websites created from preexisting templates, tend not to suit the needs of individual businesses and require a great deal of colour, font, and layout adjustment in order to do so.

They also tend to be slow-loading, graphically intensive, search-engine-unfriendly, and lacking in scalability.

Packaged websites also tend to be less profitable than those which are built for the specific needs of a company. People can sense effort and will often gravitate toward those websites which demonstrate it. These people become customers, and if a business is run effectively, referrals, and so on.

We would rather offer a customized solution that meets your business needs both now and in the future than offer a prepackaged solution that will not.
