As of January 2010, we've very slightly amended our pricing across the board. With the most significant changes being to the costs of the standard website packages and hourly rates.

Simple static websites now start from £350, dynamic database driven sites from £450 and e-commerce sites from £550. All of which still include the first years website hosting and domain name registration.

Basic website hosting is now £40 a year, Medium website hosting (which includes a MySQL database) is now £90 a year, with advanced hosting at £140 a year. All prices include VAT but not domain name registration which varies from £7 for 2 years, to £30 a year which depends on the kind of domain name.

Individual agreements and quotes given prior to January 2010 are not affected by this price change.

We would also like to take this opportunity to wish you all a happy and prosperous new year.

We are proud to announce a new feature for Doive Designs, our mailing list. You can subscribe to find out the latest offers, site launches and news from Doive Designs now via the Contact Us page.

E-Mailing lists are a good way of keeping clients informed about your products, causes or to simply remind them that you exist. They are simple to add, update and administer and in many cases free to run, aside from our initial set up costs.

The internet is a content-driven medium - what that means is that people go online looking for information. If that information is poorly written, or isn’t easily understood, then people won’t stay on your site. It’s as simple as that.

The bad news is that there are far too many websites out there which people find confusing and difficult-to-use. The good news is your website doesn’t have to be one of them.

There's no catch. No advertising or annoying pop-ups just unlimited webspace and bandwidth and with domain names starting at £:7 for two years, there's never been a better time to set up your own site!

Let's face it, websites are quite expensive to make and most charities have better uses for their donations than creating a new website. Having said that though, a new website may become a good way of raising their profile, attracting more supporters, reaching more people or increase donations.

If you run a business, you might want to consider sponsoring a site. A good site doesn't have to cost as much as you might think and your endorsement of the cause may do both you and the charity some good.

Start by contacting the charity you support and offering to help them in this way. Then once you and they have agreed the budget give us a ring on 07817 851856 or 029 2051 2247 and we'll see what we can do.

If you want to help a charity but you don't have one in mind, let us know and we'll put you in touch with a charity that is looking for a sponsor.

Alternatively, you may represent a charity that needs a new site but doesn't have a donor. We urge you to get in touch with us and we'll keep you informed as to potential sponsors.
