The most common type of website we design is a cms website. Cms is a website designed around a template system and is fairly easily updateable afterwords by a customer with basic knowledge. They are also much quicker to create and thus the cheapest type of website. The most common cms system by far is Wordpress. Wordpress has by far the largest number of paid or free themes (Templates) for different industries. There are also a large number of paid or free plugins to add extra functionalality such as ecommerce. Although there are many more such as Joomla, Drupla and Concrete etc. We can also offer basic training for wordpress if a customer requires it to alter a created website. There are many advantages to a cms website such as fast creation, easier to change or update etc. but there are also disadvantages. Because a large proportion of websites use a cms such as wordpress it is also more prone to security vunerabilities. As long as you keep your themes, plugins and code updated then patch any vunerablities as soon as possible there are usually no problems. Again we also offer a wordpress update service. A cms is also usually slower to load than a custom written website but if you host on our CDN enabled worpdress hosting then speed difference will be negligable


A custom written website is just that: A website written from the ground up code line by code line. This is obviously a lot more expensive than a cms type website due to the time needed to write being considerably higher. The main advantages to a well-writen custom website is the fact that it can look exactly as you want it and also speed. You are not restricted by a fixed template. There are common components pre-written that web designers use instead of writing every line of code. If you look at our websites for example this one is custom written but also uses pre-written components as well such as jquery to animate the pictures and integrate into the 'backend' to run the customer control panel which is written in wordpress.


We can also quote you for updating your existing website whether that be adding extra pages or updating current pages or even a full re-write. We can also offer you great value for money website hosting services
