Why lease a website?
A quality website can be very expensive. But it is an essential tool for a business. It is your shop window in effect. it helps your online and off-line marketing campaign. However, a 10 page website describing your services cost on average £1,200 + VAT. This can be an expensive up front cost for a small business. Much like leasing a car or van, we enable small businesses to manage that cost over a longer period. A low initial start up cost and an ongoing payment.
Search Engine Optimization
A well designed website instantly brings credibility to a business, regardless of how it is marketed. However the real power of a website is to use it to attract new business enquiries from potential customers using the internet. This is where Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is key. A long time ago, when there were a just few hundred thousand websites, there was a reasonable chance that the general public might stumble across your website.
Today there are millions a of websites. Google, Yahoo! and MSN Live Search were invented to enable people to navigate the internet. And that has changed everything.
Your website needs to be optimized for key search terms in order to be found by your potential clients. There are many methods that are used to do this. Mostly, they are laborious and repetitive and take time. Most small businesses don't have the time to invest in this exercise or the inclination to learn how do it. But we do - and for a small monthly payment - we can do this for you.

We offer our clients professional website leasing packages. From the very first moment of inception, they are designed to be Search Engine friendly.
