Most of the styles can have their colour schemes changed (background colours, text colours, header colours, etc) from the admin area.

How many additional pages can I add to the blog / site?

Pretty much as many pages as you like. Your web hosting package may limit how many – but even on our standard hosting package, you get 10Gb of webspace – so this would be sufficient to add tens of thousands of pages (unless each page is crammed full of large photos and/or videos). Our unlimited web hosting package allows you unlimited web space.

---

Do I have to have my contact information on the site?

The content of the website is entirely up to you – if you want to display contact information (and which contact information), no problem. Equally, if you have no need or desire to have contact information on website, this is no issue and is entirely up to you. We’ll install whatever you want upon set up and you will then be free to add, edit or delete whenever you want following handover.

---

Can I add adverts to the website?

Absolutely – it’s your website, how you use it is up to you. You can add advert banners, text links and insert them onto website pages. You can use your own banners, commission banners or sell the space to others.

If you require us to transfer/install onto another hosts server, we have a one off cost of £49.95 (additional cost covers the extra time required due to manual processes needed on another hosts servers, that we have automated/streamlined on our own servers).

I already own a domain, can I use that for the website?

Absolutely – we will ask that you point the domain to our servers to use for website (see “Can I use my own hosting?” if don’t want our hosting). NB. Where you use your own existing domain name, a free .co.uk domain will not be supplied with the website package, nor reduction made in lieu of it.
