You should consider spending the same amount of time and energy on obtaining the correct web presence for your business as you would for any other customer facing publicity. Web sites should be tailored to suit your needs and not simply be 'off the shelf' products. It is one of our goals to help you use this time and energy efficiently. Please read the statements below before continuing on to find out why you should choose Rock Software for a personal approach to your small and medium scale web development needs.

If you are serious about having an efficient, cost effective and well targetted web presence from a provider that has a personal approach to your business' products and services then please take the time to read our opinions on these statements by clicking here. We offer web site implementation services to small and medium sized businesses to allow them to have a web presence that delivers no-nonsense content for one purpose, to convert visitors into customers. This is best realised by providing the relevant information about your business products and services to prospective customers in an efficient and accessible way. You should consider contacting us if you have: - no web presence at all and would like one.
- a minimal presence that requires expansion.
- a full presence that has become too expensive or time consuming.
We consider contracts of a small to medium size, but are specialised for small businesses because we believe that they are currently being neglected and over-charged in an increasingly growing market that can easily become confusing. We believe our service is friendly, informative and comprehensive. A typical package may include: - Fast and efficient web site structures.
- Host services to best suit your needs.
- Domain name registration.
- Web site updates, maintenance, management and statistics analysis.
- Supply, setup and maintenance of internet and network equipment.
- Staff training, technical support and equipment upgrades.
- Re-engineering of your current content.
- Full proof-reading and legal advice about content.
We use our own unique in-house deployment system based around the latest in Java servlet technology to bring a high level of functionality to all of the web sites we produce. This is our preferred method of site deployment and is designed to allow us to manage your site and provide any custom administration features that are required with the minimum cost. One of our primary goals at Rock Software is to reduce the cost of owning and maintaining a web site. The initial setup cost for Java accounts is typically a little more expensive than standard hosting packages, but this is quickly offset by reduced maintenance costs. Using Java we can dramatically reduce development timescales and costs, it also provides a mature and extremely stable portable deployment framework. We can also supply standard hosting packages with all the usual domain name registration services to client requirements. If you have previously visited other web development providers you may have noticed 'price per page' details and want to know how much we charge per web page. We believe that this way of charging is not in the client's best interest and we do things very differently. We can offer packages from simply converting your existing literature to full web site design that can grow with your business. The prices will reflect the complexity and the amount of support required. Once you have contacted and discussed with us your web presence needs, we will perform a brief initial evaluation stating what we can offer. This is provided free of charge. Should you decide that our services are what you require then we will provide a detailed analysis and quote for your requirements. This will involve meeting you and learning a little about your products and services in order that we may provide the best service possible. The cost for this analysis is based on expenses incurred. The time scale for this analysis is dependant on your requirements and may range from a single day to several weeks. If you are satisfied with the analysis and agree to proceed then work can begin immediately. If you would like an initial evaluation, have any questions regarding our service or require more details on what we can offer you should contact us right away using the method described on the contact page or by mailing us at info@rock-software.com. |
