Web Sites designed by amateurs usually look amateurish! A Web Site needs a professional finish and layout in the same way that a company brochure does, if your nephew is a professional Web designer then let him do it, otherwise find a company who will still be around when your Web Site needs updating.

You rent hosting from other internet companies, usually on a yearly basis. Lancaster Hunt can provide the hosting for your web site.

A domain name is the address of your web site. The domain name of this site is www.lancasterhunt.co.uk. You will need to buy a domain name for your web site, in the same way that you need a postal address for your business. The .co.uk part of the domain name denotes a uk company, many other suffixes are available eg. .com, .org, .org.uk. Just tell us what you would like as domain name and we will register it for you if it is available.

The placement of the Site is probably incorrect – potential customers can’t find it, or he isn’t promoting the site by printing the address on all stationary etc. A well-designed Web Site is useless if it is not correctly placed.

In order for potential customers to find you, instead of your competitors, the Web Site needs careful placement in the Internet. ‘Search Engines’ are the Internet equivalent of Yellow Pages, we make sure your business is correctly placed.

Some companies offer web sites which group together similar businesses onto one Web Site. This can be a cheap way of getting onto the Internet, but they can only offer limited information to customers.

A Web Site just tells the world about your business and how to contact you. All you need to do is tell us what you want to say and we’ll do the rest. If your company has existing brochures and stationary, this is usually a basis for designing your Web Site.

Customers from all over the world – huge corporations, small companies, schools, universities, ordinary people, there’s no end to the list. Why limit your advertising to one sector of the population?
