Take a look at our Website Design page for further information about pricing.
How do I get my website planned out and organised?
At Equestrian ID we prefer to look at your project as a whole, rather than just step by step, so we can assess how long it will take and the resources we’ll need to complete the project.
After this we’ll need you to fill in our Website Design brief so we know exactly what you’re looking for.
We can then set realistic timescales and we’ll keep you updated every step of the way so you’re not left in the dark about how your website is progressing.
When will I get to see the first visuals?
Once we’ve started on your project we pride ourselves on being able to send you the first concept within three working days – usually we take less than 48 hours.
During this time we’ll be carrying out extensive research so that we can ensure you have a website that will work effectively for your equestrian business.
How can I view work in progress?
We start the project by using the InVision App, an app which enables you to see your design on screen and make notes and comments.
Once you’re happy with the design of each page, we’ll begin to build the website. You’ll be able to see this work by logging into a secure area on one of our web servers, using your own password.
Will my website always display properly?
At Equestrian ID we run thorough tests of your website on all popular web browsers and operating systems as part of the final build process.
All of our websites are fully responsive, meaning that they’ll rearrange themselves to look right on mobile phones and tablet computers.
Unfortunately if you’re using Internet Explorer 6 your website may not display properly. In the opinion of many web companies, Internet Explorer 6 is terrible and not secure, meaning that few companies will attempt to make their websites work on it.
Do I get site statistics?
We offer all of our clients Google Analytics set up free of charge when they sign up for an Equestrian ID website.
This will allow you to see day by day statistics for how many visitors you have, which pages they visited and in what order, how long they stayed, where they were when they left, and a whole lot more.
Can I change the content of my website?
At Equestrian ID all of our websites come with a Wordpress Content Management System and detailed instructions to enable you to confidently edit your website yourself.
Search engines favour websites where content is regularly updated and changed, so we encourage you to do this.
It’s worth spending a few hours, at least once a month, updating areas such as News or Job Vacancies to keep your website appearing high in the search engine rankings.
If you’re not confident doing this, or you simply don’t have the time, then Equestrian ID offers a Copywriting Service that will produce high quality content, targeted to your equestrian audience.
Can I start with a small website and expand to a larger one later?
At Equestrian ID we understand that you may want to test the market first and not invest in a large website right from the start.
All Equestrian ID websites are easy to upgrade without the need to start from scratch. So, if you want to start with our Bronze package and upgrade to a Silver or Gold package later down the line, we’d be more than happy to help.
How many products will you add to my e-commerce website?
The e-commerce websites will be setup to allow unlimited products and we will add up to ten of your products to your site to get you started, and then provide you with a guide on how to add additional products. If you have an extensive amount of products and don't have the time to add these, we can add these at an additional cost which we can discuss at the start of the project.
Do you test my website before it goes live?
Of course!
All Equestrian ID websites are fully tested before they go live. Each and every page will be thoroughly error checked to validate the coding, internal links, and image references.
We’ll also view your website over a wide range of monitor resolutions and popular browsers to ensure compatibility.
We want to make sure that your website looks great for you and your customers before it is launched.
What domain name should I register?
Firstly, and most importantly, you should register the name you will be trading under online. In the majority of cases this is your company name.
After this, you should probably register any brand names that you have, for protection. This is particularly important if you haven’t trademarked them or if they are generic words that you cannot trademark.
How do I get started?
It’s incredibly simple to get started with an Equestrian ID website.
Take a look at our Website Design packages and select the option that works best for you.
After this, decide whether you’d like to pay online or request an invoice. Then fill in our Website Design brief and away we go!
If you have any questions or queries, schedule a call, and we can have a chat about your project at a time that works for your equestrian business.
