About Blazeweb Design

Established in the year 2000, and based in Carlisle, Cumbria with a diverse background that includes love of my computer, and interior design (yes, interior design!)  I know you are thinking, what has interior design got to do with the web?  Well, I feel I have an eye for aesthetics, which helps when you want a website that is pleasing to look at.  I know that aesthetics aren't the most important aspect of a site, but they go a long way to ensuring your visitors don't just 'surf on'.

To Blazeweb Design, the most important aspect of a website should be content, then clarity and ease of use.  I don't want to confuse people with technical details,  I want them to find the information needed quickly and easily, so Blazeweb stick to a 'one click' policy as far as possible, the definition of which is, 'get wherever you need to be in one click'.

When designing sites, I make my own buttons, backgrounds, and logo's as part of the website design.  All you pay is per page, as is clearly defined on my prices page.  There are no hidden charges. 

After being given information on each business, such as leaflets etc (anything you use in your business) Blazeweb will do an initial design of just one page, showing buttons, colours, backgrounds, etc.  When you are happy with the style, the content will be added page by page.  You can view your site at any time by looking on Blazeweb Design's 'current' page,  which is updated when needed. 

If you want me organise domain names and hosting for your site, I don't provide this myself, I am not a reseller, but I will organise it for you on your behalf, then invoice you for cost only.  I charge no commission for this service, and I am always searching for the best deals on the web.

Blazeweb Design's pricing structure is based on the fact that I work from home.  I have low overheads, which filters down to each client, but that doesn't mean you won't get professional, personal, service.  I don't use templates, I design each site individually, and put 100% into my work.

Blazeweb doesn't ask for full payment until you are happy, and the website is launched.  For customers out of area, I would ask for a deposit which would be agreed at outset, as it would mean that we would probably only communicate by 'phone and email.  I have built websites for clients I have never seen face to face, after all, it is called the 'world wide web'!

After launch, I will submit your site to free search engines at no cost to yourself.  If you decide you want to be submitted to paid search engines, I will do this on your behalf, and invoice you at cost only.

Updating your site as needed is very easy, you just let me know what you want amended, and I will make the changes at a cost of only £10 per hour, calculated down to the minute.  If I do five minutes work, you are charged for five minutes work.
