For small projects a 50% deposit (That being 50% of development costs) is required before the project starts and the remaining 50% upon completion.

For larger projects the payment schedule can be more flexible. This does not include variable costs for hosting and maintenance.

End cost is directly related to the amount of development time needed.

We will construct a design and development specification and then look at a project to identify the individual modules that will need to be created. We then estimate the duration of each module to calculate the cost. We believe this is the fairest way to charge.

It is very common for us to provide every element of the design and the development of a web site or web application. If you have a design in mind then we can work with you to bring it to life.

Planning for growth is very common. It can be essential to build a web site in line with cash-flow constraints. We can outline a path that enables your web site or web application to evolve and grow over time.

No, we manage everything. Most of out customers choose our £120 per year hosting and maintainance package

We use high quality web servers hosted in the UK

If it is important to you then we will work with the hosting that you provide. Please be aware that often cheaper hosts do not support the web technologies required to be able to create certain websites. For example, content managed sites must be hosted on a server that supports MySQL and PHP.

We advise against this where possible. We much prefer to provide hosting ourselves so that we can guarentee quality and consistency of service.

If you have just purchased a new domain name and would like to use it with our hosting then you just need to change the nameservers of the domain name to:

ns1.scorchsoft.com
and
ns2.scorchsoft.com

We can then set up the domain name for use with our hosting
