Why JMC Website Design?

Companies shouldn't be left with their website - holding the baby? - with no idea of how to grow it, nurture it and make use of it effectively. 33% of UK businesses admit to neglecting their website. If only they had a knowledgeable professional available to advise them, and to keep their web design fresh and working!

 

Now there are a few types of Web Design businesses to consider when you decide to get your business established on the web, some of which you may have considered already:

• Large Web Design Agencies
  Not really feasible for the everyday small to medium business. Because of their size they generally have to charge a much higher rate. You may also lose out by not working closely with the person who is actually building your website.


• Freelance Designers
  A piece of advice would be to not get a friend of your business to build your website on the cheap, unless they really know what they doing and can be called upon reliably later to fix any unexpected problems down the line.


• IT Service Agencies
  Whilst more affordable, they tend to lack creative design skills, so your website can look dated or not very appealing to your customers. If you value the professional appearance of your business online this option should be avoided.


• Advertising Agency
  Generally these types of companies have their own motives for their potential customers. You should make sure you know exactly what kind of after care service they would provide to you.

What can be expected of me

- Promises

"I want to be given what I was promised. Designers in the past have broken promises and have tacked on extras after a contract has been signed."

JMC will keep them. Only promises that can be kept will be made. For any issues, alternative solutions will always be suggested. Contract details will be made clear from the outset. Both parties will know exactly what work is involved before any work begins. There will be no hidden extras.

 

- Honesty

"A Designer I contracted used images on my site that were in breach of copyright - they weren't paid for. I'm not very tech savvy, I want to know what I'm getting myself to."

Any questions or concerns will be answered with complete honesty. If there are extras to consider you will be told before signing any contracts. If you require cost effective solutions you will be advised beforehand. You will get the right quote, and will only be given what you really need for your business.

 

- Good Communication

"I want my website requirements and needs to be taken seriously. I don't want to be ignored if I have questions about the design or how something works."

With JMC, websites are built with businesses, not for them. You will be provided regular updates on your website's progress. We can work through your requirements together. Any issues or problems will be resolved with the minimum of fuss. Don't be shy about expressing what you do or do not like about anything regarding your website. Your input is vitally important, it is your website after all!

 

- Reliability

"I want to ensure that my website is accessible and that my customers find it easy to use."

Customers use all kinds of different computer set ups. Our websites are built with this in mind, ensuring they can be viewed consistently on many different environments.

 

Testing a site works before going online is a given. Sometimes unexpected problems can arise from any situation. These will always be solved as a matter of priority. We aim to meet our deadlines. If they cannot, we will explain why prior to commencing work and will suggest an honest and viable deadline for completion of work.
