Handcrafted Websites offers a personal web design service aimed especially at holiday property businesses in the UK and Europe. For a website to succeed, it needs to be set up in the right way first, and then it needs to be promoted. Handcrafted Websites will ensure that your online business is set up in the right way so that it gets off to the best possible start. Or if you have an older, under-performing website, Handcrafted Websites can advise where the weaknesses are and then rebuild it from scratch so that it begins to perform better.
In employing Handcrafted Websites, you are not just getting a low-cost website. You are also getting a personal service to guide through the whole process. We can advise you on matters such as choosing a domain name, organising the website content, selecting the most appropriate booking engine, registering your business with Google, signing up with Google Analytics to keep an eye on visitor stats, and promoting your business via the social media.
The design process for the low-cost offer below involves choosing an initial design as a basis for the project, and then we customise that according to your preferences, and continue until you are happy with the result.
To eliminate any risk for you, no downpayment is usually requested, and you are invoiced only on successful completion of the project. And for the sake of transparency, prior to work commencing a contract is drawn up with a detailed project description, costings, and full terms and conditions for you to read and agree to, so there are no surprises.
The offer is for a small-business website using our hosting with a look based on an existing design as a starting point for the project and then customised to your requirements. The website will be set up using text, photos and links that you provide, and which you can later change yourself using the website's content management system (CMS). The design will be mobile-friendly and carefully optimised to work well with search engines (very good on-site SEO). The offer includes the personal care, assistance and guidance from your dedicated designer.
If the business is a holiday let, the offer is for a website promoting a single property, but the offer is not limited to small businesses in the holiday rental sector.
