A domain name is the easy to read name of your website. For us it’s carbon-pixel.co.uk.

When choosing a domain name it’s important to make it relatable to your business. Keeping short and pronounceable makes it easy to remember accurately. You should also use an appropriate domain name extension i.e. .co.uk, .net. .com etc

The number of extensions available has dramatically increased over the years, however, .com still remains the most widely used.

It really does depend on what you want which is not the answer anyone wants.  It is , however, the truth.  There are numerous factors which affect cost fro m whether you want a bespoke design, the amount of functionality you require, how much you want to manage yourself, whether you need ecommerce or integration with other systems, the list goes on.

We would always work with you to establish the best approach for your business and your budget and provide you a fixed cost and payment plan up front.

SSL stands for Secure Socket Layer and is a security protocol to enable you to access a website securely.  When you access a site which has SSL you will notice that the web address begins https:// rather than http:// (note the additional “s”). This means your interaction with that website is encrypted and information you enter can’t be stolen by hackers.

Google sees websites which use https:// as safe and the use of https may boost the ranking or your website over a non secure website. As of January 2017, Google has started differentiating between those websites that are secure and those that aren’t secure in their Chrome browser. You may see either the word “secure” or an “I” at the start of the web address.  Users will have more confidence in clicking on your site if it is secure.
