UK Website Designers. 10 Reasons to Choose Net Explorers.
1. We are Website Designers
You might think this is obvious but the reality is that anybody with a PC and some cheap website creation software can call themselves a website designer. Well they’re not!
Building successful websites i.e. ones that give you a return on your investment, requires an in-depth knowledge of the technologies involved, sales, marketing, design, web browsers, search engines, copy writing and how people use websites, to name just a few disciplines. This can only be acquired through education, research, years of experience and dedication to continuous personal development, not by reading a ‘how to build a website’ tutorial.
We are UK Website Designers and have been building commercial websites for businesses all over the world for a very long time. We are website designers by profession, not as a hobby. We are experts, not enthusiasts. We are really good, not really bad. Enough said?
2. Transparent Pricing
We aim to be as clear as possible when it comes to communicating our fees. In every quotation we include a detailed breakdown of exactly how much each component of the project is going to cost and provide a menu of options to choose from. We even developed a free online website estimate tool that anyone can use to get a rough idea of what a website is likely to cost.
3. No Surprise Bills
All our work is covered by a fixed price agreement. This is a legally binding contract that means so long as you do not deviate from the agreed specification you will never pay more than the fee we agreed, even if it takes us much longer to complete than we predicted.
4. We Grow Through Quality Referrals
Around 80% of our business comes through customer referrals or repeat work for existing customers. We provide them with a great service, they tell everyone they know and we get more wonderful customers as a result. And because they are referred to us by people we already have a relationship with they are generally nice, polite and friendly customers to work with.
5. We Listen to our Customers
We may know the interweb inside out but nobody knows your business better than you do. We’ll provide the technical know-how, you’ll provide the intimate business knowledge and together we will deliver a website that helps you surpass your business objectives whilst making the best use of today’s technology.
6. We are Really, Really Old
We started building websites at the turn of the millennium, which in internet terms is pretty ancient. In that time we’ve honed our skills, adapted to the ever changing world of the internet and truly become masters of our craft, not to mention riding out the storm when the “dot com bubble” burst.
In an industry where so many come and go overnight wouldn’t you like to know you are working with a company that is here to stay?
7. We are a Single Point of Contact
We don’t just build websites. We can also manage your hosting, email, domain names, search engine optimisation, email marketing and more under one roof.
8. We Speak Plain English
Although we’re fluent in “Geek Speak” we much prefer good old fashioned English, as do most of our customers. We understand business, we speak your language and we are equally at home dealing with Sole Traders and CEOs of multinational corporates.
9. Your Success is Our Success
This will sound corny but… we actually care about our customers and nothing gives us more satisfaction than seeing the websites we develop helping them to become really successful. We get a real kick out of redeveloping websites for established businesses and seeing the sometimes staggering overnight effect having a professionally designed, properly planned and sales-focused website can have.
10. We Build Relationships
We won’t just disappear when your website is finished and we’ve taken your money. We like to build long lasting relationships with our clients and we want you to think of us less as your supplier and more as a business partner and advisor.
The internet changes so quickly it is almost a full time job just to keep up with it. We will always be on hand to offer advice on how you can make the best use of new web trends, search engines, social media marketing or whatever takes the world by storm when we eventually get bored of poking people on Facebook!

9 times out of 10 the first question we are asked by a potential customer is ‘How much is a website?’. This is like asking ‘How much is a house?’ or ‘How much is a car?’ and pretty much impossible to answer, until now.
Yes it is here at last! WordPress 2.5 is the culmination of 6 months of hard work by the WordPress community.
