Total Web Services is dedicated to providing affordable solutions for internet users.

So how do we do it?

EASY!

There are many free or low cost resources available on the Web. By making use of these the cost of website production can be dramatically reduced.

For instance, this website was totally free. Yes, FREE! The only condition was that the site provider's banner is shown at the top of each page on the site (see the Freeservers banner above).

Total Web Services takes advantage of the free and cheap web resources to provide you with a personalised and affordable, high quality solution for your website requirements. There are three main areas of expense in setting up a website - Total Web Services can help reduce the cost of all of these:

• Webspace
  Every website needs to be hosted somewhere, usually with a company known as an Internet Service Provider (ISP). As you can see above this service is provided free by some companies. In contrast many ISP's charge upwards of £200 or more for this service.
  

• Domain Name
  A domain name is the most significant part of the address of a website. Having a catchy, easy to remember domain name can significantly affect the popularity of your website. For example, in the address http://www.microsoft.com it is easy to remember the domain name "microsoft.com". On the other hand, no-one will easily remember http://www.anotherisp.com/Area/Street/129083. To register your own domain name inevitably costs money. Many ISP's will attempt to sell you some webspace along with the domain name. It is not necessary to purchase this. A domain name of your choice can be purchased from one company and for a small charge that domain name can 'point' to your free website. Alternatively, a pseudo-domain name can be completely free. For example, http://totalwebservices.8m.com was free of charge.
  

• Design
  Total Web Services can offer professional design for a fraction of the price offered by some website design companies. Why? There are several reasons. It is not necessary to spend thousands of pounds on design software. We have amassed a range of free or cheap software tools that can compete well with any professional web design packages. Neither do we have large overheads - we do not own or rent any expensive office space. Our designers generally use their own computers in their own homes. All you pay for is the designer's time and skill.
