The Gadget

Our favourite toy / gadget is our website editor, we love showing it to people. It makes it so easy for our customers to build comprehensive web pages on their website. Nobody else will sell you a website with a website editor as easy to use as this, we spent a lot of time picking the right editor for the job - and this is it. A powerful reason why our website packages are the best value for money, other packages are just false economy.

Pictures and text can be placed on to any part of the web page, the left side, the right side, the middle, the top, the bottom. You would think this is obvious and essential but you would be wrong and surprised to see how cheap some website editors are in that they only let you place text and pictures down the centre of the page - text, then picture, text, picture, text, picture....  they do not let you mix up the text with the images, they can be very basic and not easy to use or visually inspiring.

Inserting a picture with our Gadget is as easy as it is in Microsoft Word to insert a picture onto a normal page document. Furthermore with our Gadget you can mix the pictures and text up like you can in Microsoft Word. To read more about The Gadget and/or download the user manual click here

Service

It is not hard for us to beat the £1 per month hosting providers on service as you can imagine you will just be a customer number to them. Whalley Websites offers only a high quality service so read below about exactly what it is you will receive for your money, and compare it to others:

Every brochure website we provide includes

• web hosting for your website to make it available 24/7/365 to your customers.
  • On fast servers held in Sheffield, UK and not abroad. Which is important - the further away a server is the more points of failure to be aware of. There are technical communication failures, human communication failures, helplines left right and centre, queues, callbacks, the list is endless.
  • We will handle technical issues from start through to their resolution.
• the website created for you.
  • A tailored service by humans. With cheaper providers you will often be given a cheap Site Designer and the end results are robotic and cheap looking.
  • Also they will not build your site for you, you have to use poorly engineered tools to create the site from a blank canvas which means hours of trial and error.
  • If they do build it for you it will be outsourced which means more confusion and expense, - "who promised what?" scenarios guaranteed. Thus suddenly you are looking at a bill much bigger than the '£1 per month' that you initially signed up to, (for 12 months incidentally).  
  • After we have built your site you can slowly and incrementally, without any mad panic to finish the site, tweak the web pages with the simple Website Editor we provide - until you become confident with them, by which time you'll be addicted.
• a website editor.
  • Cheaper providers may supply you with a basic Site Designer, but they are not rich in features and 3 months into the future you will come unstuck when you decide you need something extra. (Which always happens, believe me). 
  • Our website editor allows you to do so much when positioning your text and pictures on a web page, and there is no limit to what can be bolted onto your website. Shopping carts, Blogging tools, Gallery Tools, FAQ tools, "Who's Online" tools, registration facilities, the list goes on.
  • If it becomes too technical we are here to help, it is what we do. We will do it for you if necessary.  
• professional business services on-demand .
  • Advice and technical skills from professionals, who are not reading from a hymn sheet handed to them like trained monkeys. We are an independent service-oriented IT business so if you need our advice that is what we think we are here for.
  • Believe it or not... if we see something while we are routinely checking your site, that we like or do not like we will e-mail you and offer suggestions.
  • Furthermore when you need our technical help, we have no remit that we stick to, we will get involved and help whereever we can. A typical large web hosting company are very rigid and static in what they will offer you, and what they are prepared to get involved with.
• search engine optimisation
  • We guarantee that your brochure website will be listed in Google within 6 weeks of it going live.
  • It is difficult to get a fantastic ranking position overnight (especially when one of the top 5 criteria is 'Age of Website' i.e. the older a website is the higher it will be ranked), but we know through experience how to optimise your website so that when the search engines are ready to list your website higher and higher naturally, your website will be easily read by the search engines crawling your site.
  • We also will be on hand to help you choose your keyword phrases, and help you optimise the site so it is obvious your business is relevant to those keywords being searched for by people on the internet.

No Contract

We like to keep our customers the old fashioned way, not at gunpoint, but by looking after their interests. We already know you have made the right decision when you ask us to build and look after your website requirements, therefore we are confident you will want to stick with us. 

Free Upgrades

All the tools we provide are supported products, which means once or twice a year an updated version may become available. We evaluate the new updates and if they are useful updates for you then we install them on your website for free. Meaning that your website, the website editor and any other tools are kept speedy and up-to-date - hassle free. Which is good to know.
