Extras for guest house and holiday cottage websites
Although the Web Design Cottage doesn't limit itself to guest house and holiday cottage websites, it can offer those holiday accommodation businesses a number of extras. These include availability calendars, user-updatable announcement sections, expertise in link-building for holiday accommodation providers, and we also have advice about online booking services. Depending on the chosen booking service, we may be able to integrate it into your site free of charge.
Hosting for Web Design Cottage business websites
Hosting on UK servers, with your website managed and kept up to date by the Web Design Cottage for only £80 per year. Includes up to six business email addresses. Existing text and photos updated by us at no extra charge throughout the year.
Updating your business website
Our hosting fee covers the cost of updates to existing text and photos over the year. However, if you need to make major, frequent and/or immediate changes to the content, we can install and customise a suitable Content Management System (CMS) to put you in direct control of some or all of the content.
Web design for Cumbria
The Web Design Cottage has its roots in Cumbria and is particularly keen to help promote Cumbrian businesses. We have also had some involvement with tourism in Cumbria and want to continue providing web design services to holiday cottages, guest houses and those offering bed and breakfast in Cumbria. However, we will gladly offer the same level of service to businesses outside Cumbria.
Design by email
The Web Design Cottage operates largely via email. We will be happy to phone you if you want to speak to us before you make an initial firm decision about employing our services. Then you can expect most of the to and fro of the design process to be done via email. You send materials and instructions; we create a provisional design and upload it; you send us your comments; and we make the necessary alterations.
A guarantee of customer satisfaction
When designing a site we only send out an invoice once the site is up and working and the customer is happy with it. In the virtually inconceivable event that you are not satisfied with our work, we will refund any money you may have paid.
About the Web Design Cottage
The Web Design Cottage is quite literally a cottage on a hillside where websites get designed. We specialise in designing high-ranking custom-built websites for small businesses working to a tight budget. The man behind the Web Design Cottage is Michael Reid, who regularly travels back to Keswick in Cumbria, but who is now based a stone's throw from the wine-dark Mediterranean Sea in Greece. The Cottage is keen to support businesses in Cumbria and the rest of the UK, and can also offer them the benefits of outsourcing combined with great email support whenever they have a query.
