of Corsham


Corsham Print<br />

Since the 1980’s we have enjoyed helping businesses<br />

grow with our creative services. We want everyone to<br />

be able to benefit from the very latest ideas and<br />

technology in design, print, web and marketing.<br />

We have launched nettl of Corsham to increase our<br />

product range and expand our online offering.<br />

“<br />

Yet again Corsham Print stepped up to produce the print<br />

materials for the show. They also helped with aspects of<br />

design and the quality of their work is outstanding. I<br />

commend them at all levels and if you are looking for a<br />

local business, then they are your people.<br />

“<br />

Throughout many years of association with Corsham Print<br />

we have always found them cooperative, professional,<br />

competitively priced and consistently capable of delivering<br />

on time. When we needed a fresh, contemporary look for<br />

our catalogues, they redesigned every aspect of it. We do<br />

not believe that we could have done better elsewhere.<br />

Let’s find your fast path<br />

A website that you’re proud of and which accurately reflects<br />

your brand is one of the most important aspects of any<br />

business. Research suggests that having a website can<br />

increase turnover by around 45%. Despite this, it is thought<br />

that around two million UK businesses still don’t have one.<br />

We don’t believe ‘one size fits all’. Every business is<br />

different… and so is every website we create.<br />

DID YOU KNOW?<br />

81% of people conduct<br />

research online before<br />

purchasing a product.<br />

This guide will help you<br />

choose whats right for your<br />

business now and how we<br />

could develop it for you in the<br />

future.<br />

Our sites are built to last. They can grow as your business<br />

grows. You don’t want to find your site is redundant next<br />

month just because you need to add a new feature.<br />

This modular approach means we get you online quickly with<br />

our proven paths and then upgrade your site in a structured<br />

way when you’re ready.<br />

It’s useful if you know where you want to go, but you don’t<br />

need to do everything at once. We find it’s best to<br />

continuously develop your site, deploying small changes, as<br />

and when you need them.


Types of websites<br />

The internet is vast, there are billions of websites online, all<br />

competing for some share of peoples online browsing each<br />

day. When you’re starting a new website, it can be<br />

overwhelming to think about all the other websites out there.<br />

<strong>To</strong> keep things simple we breakdown our sites in four types:<br />

nettl:one - basic website<br />

A basic website is made up of one to five pages, and requires<br />

only very simple functionality. They are ‘brochure style’<br />

websites. In addition to the core pages, they have a contact<br />

and landing page.<br />

Basic websites are great if you’re after a very simple, stripped<br />

back online presence. It is a place to showcase your business,<br />

and receive enquiries. Think of it kind of like a modern day<br />

business card.<br />

A great place to start and we ensure that it is future proof for<br />

further development.<br />

nettl:one upfront costs<br />

Design £200 to £500<br />

Domain<br />

from £4.99 / year<br />

ongoing costs<br />

Hosting<br />

£10 / month<br />

Care package<br />

£0 to £25 / month


nettl:connect - small business website<br />

A small business website is the perfect size for a business that<br />

requires a little more than just a very basic website. These are<br />

also ‘brochure style’, but are far more feature-rich. Such<br />

features may include: integrating social media, a content<br />

management system, google analytics and google maps.<br />

Perhaps you want to have online booking, live appointments<br />

or room reservations? They will also have more pages than a<br />

basic website.<br />

Online bookings Integrated with<br />

your telephone booking system.<br />

Reviews Ask for feedback and<br />

publish reviews.<br />

Small business websites don’t<br />

sell anything directly, but rather<br />

encourage visitors to get in<br />

contact, a lead generation tool<br />

or make a booking with you.<br />

ongoing costs<br />

Hosting<br />

Care package<br />

Reservations<br />

Online reservations synced<br />

with your offline system.<br />

Appointments<br />

Show availability so<br />

customers can book online.


nettl:commerce - e-commerce website<br />

Where people can directly buy products from you. Any<br />

website that includes a shopping cart and a way for people to<br />

provide credit card information to make a purchase falls into<br />

this category.<br />

If you’re setting up a website for your business and plan to<br />

sell your products through the site, then this is the type of<br />

website you need to build.<br />

The cost of ecommerce websites can vary massively. The<br />

price is impacted by the number of items you want to stock,<br />

and the number of varieties of each item that are available. It<br />

will also, of course, depend on the number of additional<br />

features that you want to incorporate. Normally we would<br />

include an order management system, delivery tracking<br />

functionality and a live chat facility, in addition to the features<br />

included in a small business website.<br />

espoke website<br />

For businesses requiring complex functionality eg. financial<br />

services, recruitment or property companies, health and<br />

fitness businesses, architects etc. Any business requiring<br />

complex functionality may well find that they fall into the<br />

bespoke price bracket.<br />

Bespoke websites are great for larger companies requiring<br />

more functionality, with a higher number of visitors or with<br />

more information to share.<br />

devised a variety of payment opitions to help you spread the<br />

cost of your investment. Please ask for more details.<br />

Additional Costs<br />

The costs we have already mentioned are based on<br />

you suppling content including, logos, text and<br />

imagery. Here are some additional services and costs<br />

that you should consider:<br />

Brand Design<br />

If you are a new business or don’t have any branding<br />

we can help you create your one for you from a<br />

simple logo design to full brand creation, from £100<br />

Content production<br />

Producing written content is something that you can<br />

do yourself to keep costs down. However, it can be<br />

worth getting us to help. We charge £25 per hour for<br />

content generation.<br />

Imagery<br />

We can source stock images and graphics from your<br />

site from £10 per image<br />

We can also arrange a photographer to collect a bank<br />

of images for your brand or product which can help<br />

create a strong brand image, from £250 per 1/2 day<br />

SEO / Marketing / Adwords<br />

Let’s say you own a cupcake shop in Bristol. Googling<br />

‘cupcake Bristol’ produces millions of results. So how<br />

do you make sure that your business appears near the<br />

top? A lot of it has to do with how relevant your<br />

business is, how up-to-date the content on your site<br />

is, and how many visitors you get coming in from<br />

other areas, eg. social media. However there are also<br />

some additional steps you can take to make sure<br />

you’re securing the best position possible.<br />

That’s where SEO comes in. SEO stands for Search<br />

Engine Optimisation. It’s the process of making a site<br />

the best that it can be in terms of search engines.<br />

Search engines give preference to sites that load fast<br />

and offer the information that people are searching<br />

for, amongst other things.<br />

We offer SOE packages that ensure you get results<br />

from your online activities, from £200 per month


Web design process<br />

So you have a rough idea of how much your<br />

site might cost, now you want to know how long will<br />

it take?<br />

It should come as no surprise that the answer<br />

will depend on the size and complexity of your<br />

desired site. A nettl:one site could be live within a<br />

week, whereas a bespoke site could take up to six<br />

months. We can give you a better idea at the proposal<br />

stage.<br />

<strong>To</strong> get a clearer idea of how your project will progress,<br />

it helps to have an idea of the steps involved.<br />

Proposal<br />

After an initial consultation we will provide you with a<br />

detailed proposal for your project, which clearly show<br />

what is included and options availabe to you.<br />

Wire Frame Stucture<br />

Depending on the complexity of your project the next<br />

stage is creating a wire frame structure of the site.<br />

Simple black and white layouts that outline the<br />

specific size and placement of page elements, site<br />

features, and navigation for your website.<br />

Design<br />

Following aproval of the wire frame we will design the<br />

site with your content, using your branding. We will<br />

give you access to the site via an administration link<br />

for you to approve the design.<br />

Testing<br />

Once the design has been approved we will move the<br />

site into a testing phase when the integrity of the site<br />

is tested to ensure all navigation links work correctly.<br />

Launch<br />

Finally the site will be launched on an agreed date,<br />

but this is not the end of our support. We allow for<br />

minor amendments and corrections for 4 weeks after<br />

the launch date to make sure you get exactly want<br />

you want.


Things your should know<br />

<strong>To</strong> own and operate an effective website there are a few<br />

things you will need to bear in mind.<br />

Domian Names<br />

Your Domain Name is your business’ home on the web, your<br />

online identity. As a website address it’s the gateway for<br />

people to see what you have to offer. It tells people who you<br />

are, where you are, and what you do.<br />

We can register and manage your domain for you or you can<br />

register it yourself and send us the details.<br />

Prices vary depending on how popular your chosen domain<br />

name is, .co.uk domains cost as little as £4.99 per year<br />

whereas .com domains can range from £9.99 upwards.<br />

Hosting<br />

<strong>Websites</strong> are hosted, or stored, on special computers called<br />

servers. A web hosting service provider, is a business that<br />

provides the technologies and services needed for the<br />

website or webpage to be viewed in the Internet.<br />

When an internet users wants to view your website, all they<br />

need to do is type your website address or domain into their<br />

browser. Their computer will then connect to the server and<br />

your webpages will be delivered to them through the<br />

browser.<br />

All our sites are hosted on the most advanced Amazon<br />

servers based in the UK.<br />

SSL Certificate<br />

An SSL certificate ensures that the provider is who they claim<br />

to be and also indicates secure connections between<br />

personal devices and websites. SSL certificates are important<br />

for website trust and to help protect customers from<br />

becoming a victim to scammers.<br />

You can see if a site has SSL by looking at the small padlock in<br />

your browser, if it is locked the site is secure.<br />

Maintanance<br />

The worldwide web is constantly changing, software updates,<br />

search engine changes, plug in up dates and legislation to<br />

name a few. Your site needs to be maintained to remain<br />

effective.<br />

We give you the tools and training to do this and also offer<br />

care packages that guarantee your site remains current.
