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 />

Domain<br />

ongoing costs<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 />

Additional Costs<br />

simple logo design to full brand creation, from £100<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.
