Website Building
The world is watching
Go to: Sites we have built • We can build a site for you • Domain Name & Hosting • For the technically minded (only!) • Internet Speed Test: How fast does yours go?
We are able to build websites for customers, and have been doing so since 2002. For commercial organisations, government departments, individuals and others we can provide a professional website at little cost. 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.
Here is a selection of the sites we have built for customers:
 | The Fantom Agency |
 | Brigadoon, St. Helena |
 | Moonbeams Shop, St. Helena |
 | The Bahá’í Community of St. Helena |
 | Huxtable St. Helena Limited |
 | Bank of St. Helena |
 | Dacorum Fairtrade |
Of course, we also built all the Burgh House sites, as indexed on our Related Sites page.
We can build a website for you. We offer two ways to get yourself on the Internet:
If you want a simple and economical site which can be live in a matter of days, we can offer a starter.site
If your needs are more advanced, we can offer a custom-built site entirely to your specifications
In either case you get:
A domain name (e.g. www.yourdomainname.com) of your choice for your exclusive use (subject to availability)
Your site hosted on fast and reliable servers in the UK
Access to emails delivered via your domain name (e.g. enquiries@yourdomainname.com)
Your site registered with Google™, the leading search engine, so that you don't have to wait while they discover you.
Your starter.site | Your custom-built site |
If you are making your first steps onto the Internet this is the approach for you. | If you are developing your presence on the Internet this is the approach for you. |
Your starter.site is a fully functioning and expandable website, made live on the Internet in a few days and at minimal cost. You decide the content, select the images and choose the colours - we do the rest. But rather than just reading about it, why not see for yourself? We've set up two examples of a starter.site, with identical content and colours, illustrating the two styles available. You can see them here: Examine them both and then contact us to be amazed at how easily you can get yourself live on the Internet. | Maybe you have outgrown your current site. Or maybe you just want more than a starter.site can offer. Whatever you reasons we can develop a fully-customised website 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.
We can help you purchase your domain name and your hosting{1} from the UK company we use.
We can source internationally-recognised .com and .org domain names, and website hosting suitable for most purposes, all for a very small annual fee. Please contact us for current prices.
The website hosting plan we recommend for most users on St. Helena features:
250Mb Webspace{2}, hosted on fast UK-based servers for speed and reliability;
5Gb/month data transfer allowance;
10 POP3/IMAP mailboxes (extra mailboxes possible), all with SPAM filtering, webmail access, unlimited email forwarding and unlimited auto-responders;
Full online site usage statistics;
Support for online configuration, full FTP access, unlimited sub-domains, Microsoft Frontpage 2003™ server extensions; Server Side Includes; Full CGI-BIN (Perl and Python scripts); PHP4, PHP5 and MySQL.
Details correct as at 1st March 2012 but subject to change - please contact us for latest details.
We will automatically register your site with the leading search engine, Google™. This shortens the time before your site starts appearing in search results.
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 slower page downloads, so all that wasted code costs your users time and data-allowance{3}. There is more technical information here.
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
{1} 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?"
{2} This will be far more than you are likely to need. As a yardstick, our largest site currently uses a little over 12Mb
{3} 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.
