Frequently Asked Questions

Why do you not list prices on your web site?

I have already registered my domain name, is that a problem?

I have already arranged hosting, is that a problem?

Why should I pay for someone else to design and look after my web site?

Q: Why do you not list prices on your web site?
A: Every web site is different so it's virtually impossible to know how much your site will cost until we've got some idea of what you want. We know there are companies who offer a standard price for packages, but what happens if your requirements don't really fit into those packages?

Q: I have already registered my domain name, is that a problem?
A: Not at all. We can still set up your web site. The domain always remains your property whoever actually registers it. You can either transfer the domain to us or change the nameservers that the domain is using if you prefer to keep complete control.

Q: I have already arranged hosting, is that a problem?
A: In order to be sure of being able to offer you the benefit of all the services we provide, we prefer to host the site for you. We provide secure reliable servers that are situated in several different data centres and we protect the servers with some of the best spam and virus protection software available. We cannot guarantee other hosts will be able to offer the same protection or offer the same services as part of their hosting packages. If you have arranged hosting already though, that should not be a problem.

Q: Do I have to do all updates myself?
A: Not necessarily. AIP Instant Updater is there to make things easier for our customers who wish to look after the content of their site themselves. However we appreciate that some business owners are very busy and simply don't have the time to do it themselves all the time, if at all. If you would like us to take care of all updates and changes, that is no problem.

Q: What if I want more pages?
A: No problem. Many sites get bigger over time.

Q: How long does it take to set a site up?
A: This very much depends on the site. A small site that is mainly text and template based will take only a few days. If more pages are needed or more work is needed on the design, then it takes longer. We normally say 7 - 10 days minimum to get everything right.

Q: Why should I pay for someone else to design and look after my web site?
A: Your web site represents your business to absolutely anyone who comes across it - therefore it needs to look professional and be built in a professional way.

Website technology is advancing all the time so if you outsource your site to someone who is able to keep up with that technology and the latest techniques, you can be sure that your site is in the hands of someone who is able to keep up with that technology and let you know of the latest ways you can help ensure your website gets noticed.

Paying a professional ensures that your web site looks right for your business. A professional will know how to give your site as good a chance as possible of getting listed on the search engines and if you are a one-person business, the chances are that you simply haven't got the time to keep it updated yourself and keep up with the latest web design techniques.
