Add Optional Extras
How It Works
The following services are now included (at no extra cost) with every website we sell:
Domain Name Acquiring
We will register one or more domain names in your name with Blacknight. We will create an account for you and set everything up. You will need to pay Blacknight directly for the domain name registration fee.
Domain Name Set-Up
We will set-up your existing domain name(s) so that it points at your new website. This service is subject to you having access to and granting us access to your domain name hosting provider and DNS tables.
Contact Form
Please note that we don't provide contact forms unless requested. If you want a contact form that simply sends an email to your nominated email address when anyone fills in the form then we will do that at no extra charge using https://formspree.io/. If you wish to use your contact form to send information to your CRM system or a database, then we will need to do some custom coding. We charge approximately €50 for this (including VAT and subject to conditions).
Domain Specific Email Address
If you would like us to secure, set-up, or configure your business email address and service we will oblige. You can choose from three options explained below.
Google Workspace
We will set-up your email and domain name and send you a guide on how to use your new email address. You will need to pay Google directly. Your relationship will be with Google and after initial set-up support will be provided by Google.
Microsoft 365
We will recommend you to our preferred Microsoft 365 partner who will set everything up for you. Set-up is usually a free service, but you will need to pay monthly costs for Microsoft 365.
Titan Mail
This is a great email option from Blacknight and we will set it up for free for you.
Now is the time to go online
Follow our 8 step guide below and you will be online with a world beating website in less than two weeks
Step 1: Book Guidance Session
If you want help understanding our offerings and choosing a website design that works for your business, then book a no obligation online guidance session with us here. You will spend 20 minutes chatting with one of our team here in Dublin. If you don’t think what we offer is for you (which it may not be) then we promise not to bother you again.
Step 2: Pick Your Website
The fun part! Browse our ever-growing collection of website layouts and pick one that suits your business. We have made it as easy as possible by offering filters to search by and a working demo website for every layout (we even have demos of different colour schemes for our more popular layouts).
Step 3: Choose Your Branding
If you need a brand package (consisting of logo, colour scheme, brand guidelines, social media profile images, brand fonts, and business cards) then you can order it here. Please note that branding can take a little longer than two weeks as it is subject to a good bit of back and forth with our designer.
Step 4: Add Optional Extras
You can do this now or later, but if you want integration with a booking or reservation system, product sales, or something like a sign-up form then you can order that here.
Step 5: Discuss Your Business
This is where we really add value and prove our worth compared to other website developers. We are experienced business owners and content creators, and we will work with you to help you decide what should be on your website and how it should be presented. We will help you write “copy” for your website and get it working for your business.
Step 6: Review and Revise
We will place your website “live” at a temporary web address for you to view and share with friends or colleagues for feedback. Any changes or updates can be advised to us either on a web call or by email. This is not a one-time process and within reason we will work on your website until you are happy.
Step 7: Go Live
When you are ready and happy to go live we will connect your domain name to your website, check everything is working OK, and submit your new website to Google for listing on their search engine. Congratulations!
Step 8: Choose Your Support
At a very minimum you will need a hosting and maintenance package with us (the first year of hosting is included), but you may also want to consider some of the additional packages we offer to help your business grow.
