We are able to build websites for customers, and have been doing so since 2002.  For charities and ‘good works’ organisations we are prepared to do this for FREE - please click here for more details on free website building and hosting.  For commercial organisations, government departments, individuals and others we can provide a professional website at little cost.

Can we build a site for you?

Maybe we can build a site for you.  Please contact us to learn more about our website building capabilities and to discuss how we can help you find your place on the World Wide Web.

Domain Name & Hosting

We can help you purchase your domain name and your hosting^† from the UK company we use.

Prices

We can source internationally-recognised .com and .org domain names for £10 per annum (minimum commitment 2 years) and website hosting suitable for most St. Helena business purposes for £20 per annum (minimum commitment 1 year).  (All prices subject to change.)

• 50Mb of Webspace, hosted on fast UK-based servers (upgrades possible to 1,000Mb);

^†(You need both of these to have a website - if you need them explained please contact us or read our article "A Website For Your Business?".)

Search Engines

We will automatically register your site with the two leading search engines, Google™ and Microsoft’s Bing™.  This usually shortens the time before your site starts appearing in search results.

For the technically minded (only!)

We build sites manually using HTML, to the XHTML 1.0 Transitional standard, and JavaScript coding.  We know there are loads of fancy website-building packages out there but we think they produce far too much code to achieve even quite simple things.  More code means more webspace means more annual hosting costs, so all the wasted code costs you money.  If anyone knows of a website generator that can produce clean and efficient code with minimal waste please contact us - we'd genuinely like to know about it.  Until then we'll carry on doing it the way that produces the best site with the smallest space requirement.  More technical information here.

Internet Speed Test: How fast does yours go?

This simple utility will test the speed of your Internet connection and will report (separately) the download and upload speed.

Please note

• To get a reliable result you should ensure that there is nothing else using your Internet connection at the same time (e.g. your email program, antivirus downloads, Windows Update, etc.)

• The utility is provided by Broadband Speed Checker to whom any technical queries should be addressed (if you choose to visit Broadband Speed Checker we do not endorse any of the products or sites linked from their site)

• This test will use some of your monthly data allowance

• The utility is probably not suitable for testing dial-up Internet connections

• Please don't try to involve us in any "I'm not getting what I'm paying for" disputes with your Internet Service Provider
