Web Design & Development. That's what we do. Along with a lot of database work, too. If you are a business or organisation wanting some website work done, simply pick up the phone and contact us. 

Clients
We deal with clients of every size, from the NHS and North Yorkshire Social Services Department, right through to smaller local companies wanting a comprehensive web presence, such as Harrison Boothman, The Unicorn Hotel, James Pye & Son and Woodware Art Gallery. See our portfolio and testimonial pages for more info.

Expertise
Skiptonweb have the expertise to provide you with a complete service, everything from a simple one-page website with web hosting and e-mail forwarding, all the way up to fully databased e-commerce solutions with advanced user interfaces. Want more technical details? Ok: We host sites. We handle DNS, domain name registration and e-mail accounts. We build websites from the ground up. We plan. We discuss. We design graphics, animation and GUI's. We design Flash animations and applications using action script. We write copy. We do usability testing. We build-in search engine optimisation. We hand-code e-commerce enabled websites and integrate real-time credit card transactions through an approved dedicated third-party transaction agent (Worldpay) so that they are truly secure. We code bespoke software to your needs. We build corporate intranet applications that scale. We code in Perl, Javascript and ASP. We build database applications to suit your needs. We build database-driven websites that, frankly, blow the competition out of the water. We integrate databases with stock control systems, POS systems and barcode scanners. We make your database talk to other peoples databases. You want to do something very strange and quite possibly unfeasible with a database? Then we're interested.

Jargon
We're fully aware that most people who come to us are intimidated by all the jargon and just want a simple, clear explanation of what can be done and how much it will cost. If you've talked to other web companies and found them unable to explain things in simple, clear language, you'll be pleasantly surprised by our approach. We talk in plain English.

Communication
We like to explain to our clients what we're doing, why we're doing it and how it works. If we can help you become more informed about the internet, then at a minimum you'll have a better idea of what to look out for and which pitfalls to avoid.

Consultations
Talking to us is free. We like to talk. Call or E-mail us for more details. And yes, we understand that this can all be very intimidating at first. If all you want is a no-strings chat about the internet and how it relates to you, don't hesitate to get in touch. We're always happy to talk. We even make half-decent coffee.

Support
We don't just sell you a website, then walk away. We have an on-going relationship with our clients that's crucial to the success of our business. We are always available to discuss problems that arise and to offer support and solutions. But don't just take our word for it, habve a look at our testimonials page to see how important our clients think support is.

Services & Prices

Standard website hosting
costs £120 per annum, and includes the cost of one domain name, FTP access and email forwarding or POP3 boxes on your chosen domain name.

Databased website hosting
costs £180 per annum, and includes all the features of standard website hosting, plus database connectivity.

Domain Names / Extra Domain Names
can be purchased either singly or in groups. More than one domain name can be pointed at the same website.

Secure E-commerce facilities
can also be set up for e-commerce sites, using an approved third-party transaction agent, such as Worldpay.
Note: Be careful with credit card transactions that customer credit card numbers aren't transmitted without encryption, via a plain-text email. Other companies providing this type of 'insecure' service are putting you in a legally dangerous position. Contact us to discuss your requirements.

Website Design & Development
prices vary, depending on the size of the project. A simple, professional business page (see La Cascade) on Skiptonweb will cost as little as £30, yearly. 
To quote for larger, more complex websites we'll need full details of what you want the site to achieve, and how much time will be spent on the development of the site. The more detail you give us, the more accurate a quote we can give you. If you need a professional website at the right price, get in touch to arrange an informal discussion about how we could help you. We're surprisingly reasonable.

Website Updating
is something of a speciality. We charge a very reasonable hourly rate. Contact us to discuss your requirements.

Website Re-design
is becoming more and more common. We can take your old website and give it a complete overhaul, including a fresh clean image, simpler navigation and search engine optimisation. Contact us to discuss your requirements.

360° / Panoramic / VR Photography
services are available, along with the usual digital photography. If your website images are looking a bit drab and outdated, why not have a 360° photo done? Show the world what you really have to offer, in full colour. Contact us to discuss your requirements.

Search Engine Optimisation
is something we always routinely 'build in' when developing a website. We see it as part of the development process, not an 'optional' and expensive extra. Not to integrate this into a site at the design stage is, quite simply, unprofessional. There are many factors that contribute to a site doing well in search engines, all of which we can take care of. Some of these issues require no money, only a little time, and once explained can be done by yourself. Be very wary of any company that tries to charge you extra for this service. Having just said all that, we of course accept that some clients do find themselves with a badly designed site, for historical reasons, and want remedial work done asap. Yes, we do that.

Non-Profit and Charity Organisations
If you are a local charity, club or non-profit organisation we'll do you a page under our own domain at a discounted rate. Contact us and we'll talk about putting something together. We are trying to encourage everyone to get on here. And there's never been a better time to do it.
