Web site types

So, you want a website- but what's best for you? The best question to ask yourself is:

WHY do I need a website?

The answers to this will help us select the best website type for you. Hopefully the site types below will help you decide. See also this useful article from MENTA about setting up a website.

If you already have a website- is it current? Or is it a liability? See our news article on the subject.

Static website

The information you want published doesn't change very often- company details, what you do, directions/map to your site, your selection of Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) that maybe you (or your receptionist) answer dozens of times a day? Even a basic website can save you time and money. Example: Newmarket Churches Together

E-commerce

You're selling things online. Unless it's just a few regular things, this will probably want to be dynamic, so you can delete items you no longer sell, and add your latest offering to it straight away. Accepting credit & debit cards online is the norm. Examples: Artistry in Cocoa and Kirtling Village Hall.

Multilingual

You need to reach people in many languages. Also usually a dynamic site, so your clients can switch languages as they go, if they need to. While I can translate small quantities of French and Spanish for you, probably best to either let me have properly translated text, or enter it yourself, especially for technical or colloquial sites. But not a problem to set up for you, I also have contact with professional translators for some languages. Example: Sista Dee

Content Managed

I supply the look and feel of the public website, and you or your staff upload your own content, add/edit/delete pages, images and lists of documents yourselves via a password protected suite of pages. You can even have a "hot news" section, for your latest offer or emergency info, which only appears when it's needed. Example: Hatton Park School, John Henry Group, Rave in the Nave
