What We Do
What we do is to provide small businesses and individuals (artisans etc) with a first class web site at an extremely reasonable cost. Not only are initial design and implementation costs low but so are annual running costs. And you get to make changes to your site as and when you want!!!
We specialise in the development of high quality websites that you can edit yourself. Based on the Drupal Open Source Content Management System the contents of your site are stored in a database and you enter and edit the information using a web based form over the internet.
No need for complex html skills and ftp'ing files to your server, everything is done through the administration pages of your website.
Because you maintain the content of your website, your developer costs are limited to a small upfront development fee and a reasonable monthly maintenance/development charge (for security updates to Drupal etc and for larger changes you cant do for yourself), and if you can opt for a full hosting package where hosting and maintenance is all included.
You can choose to manage your hosting service yourself and have your domain name (your website name) registered to yourself or we can take care of everything for you. If you manage the hosting yourself a typical annual hosting charge for a small site and a domain name registration can be found for under $50. But beware, the old adage 'You get what you pay for' is true here. The lower you pay for hosting, the more other websites you are likely to be sharing space and bandwidth with on the server the host places you on. Many hosting companies practice what is known as 'overselling' which means they offer unlimited of everything (space and bandwidth) but in practice cannot possibly meet this promise. After all the server you are placed on and are sharing space with 300+ other websites, has limited disc space and bandwidth and can only run so many processes. We do not offer unlimited bandwidth and disc space. Unless you are planning to store tens of thousands of photos or videos then you do not in practice need 10's of gibabytes of disc space and unless you have huge volumes of file transfers or an enormously popular site, then bandwidth is not going to be an issue.
Do a search on google on Hosting overselling, there is plenty of information available.
Do not confuse an Ionsign based CMS system with the freebie offerings that most hosting companies provide. They simply provide a backdrop over which you place your website and are very limited in what you can achieve.
