Band or Venue Starter Package : Terms »
Are you in a North East band or run a local music venue and don't yet have a website? Now's your chance to grab a bargain! For a limited time only, we are offering a full website design and hosting package for the local music industry.
As you know we already run one of the most popular and definitive guides to North East music at Gig Listings, but what you probably don't know is that everyone who contacts us through Gig Listings: submits their gigs, band/venue contact details, or review, receives an automated response advertising all of the music websites we have built. Therefore your website address will be added to this list for extra free promotion!
At Web Design Newcastle we strongly support live local music and so offer a special package for bands and music venues -- but you don't have to be local to the North East of England to take advantage of this great deal.
Cost: £199 + £99 annual renewal fee.
Band or Venue Starter Package Includes:
- A four page website, including: one homepage, one contact form, three internal pages;
- A domain or 'web address' (bandname.co.uk*)
- Email address(es) (name@bandname.co.uk*)
- Hosting (storage) of your site on reliable web servers
- Search engine submission to the top search engines
- Promotion on the North East's definitive local music guide, Gig Listings via the info submission form autoresponders
Extra pages and/or functionality by agreement, e.g. mailing list and guestbook add £75, updatable news/gigs page add £45
*Web Design Newcastle will register your domain name on your behalf, but bandname.co.uk will not necessarily be available. In this instance we will advise of reasonable alternatives.
The Website Layout
Homepage:
The Homepage should be an introduction to your band or venue. This can include
a description of approximately 250 words, promotional photography and logo,
for example. We will also build in consistant links to the remaining pages.
The text:
Either supplied in current promotional material by post or sent by email. Web Design Newcastle will only retype this information for an additional hourly fee — for reasons of speed and accuracy we prefer text to be supplied digitally via email, on floppy disc or CD-ROM as either a Microsoft Word document or (preferably) plain text.
NB: Web Design Newcastle do not take responsibility for any typing errors; while we will proof-read the site, it is the client's responsibility to send any corrections to us via email or post in the formats outlined above.
If you are unsure or inexperienced at concise descriptive writing, Web Design Newcastle can offer a copywriting service at a cost of only £40 per 250 words.
The photography:
Promotional photographs (up to a maximum of four per page) to add interest
to your website. These can be either existing promotional material or supplied
as standard photographs
-- Web Design Newcastle will scan photography supplied in this way.
Photos can also be supplied on floppy disk or CD-ROM in a variety of formats,
which we will discuss with you as required.
NB: Web Design Newcastle cannot take responsibility for the quality of photographs supplied by the client. If photos or brochures are supplied, we will advise the client if the images will not scan in to a reasonable quality. Web Design Newcastle can arrange for digital photographs to be taken at an additional cost to be negotiated.
NB: It is the responsibility of the client to obtain any permission required to use any photographs on their website. Copyright laws still apply to the Internet.
Contact Form:
The contact form allows you to collect valuable details on your visitors
and their requests. It will contain the following fields: title, forename,
surname,
email address, postal address, telephone no. fax no. nature of enquiry,
any other comments. This information will be forwarded to the client's
email account, after which it is the responsibility of the client to store
this information. We will include a 'thank you' message that will be presented
to the user (in the form of a web page) once their information has been
successfully sent to both the client and copy to user.
Internal pages:
Use these to give more details on your band members, events, location and
really promote yourselves to your target audience. These can contain information
from
your
existing
promotional material, or can be written and submitted by the client, containing
a maximum of 5 photographs per page and 300 words per page. Please be aware
that copyright laws still apply to the Internet, and it remains the responsibility
of the client to obtain the required permissions, to use any images, trademarks,
logos etc. on their website.
Website hosting:
This is where your website is actually physically kept. It is similar to the way in which your files are stored on your own office or home computer, but on a special fast computer which can be accessed from all around the world.
Although you are unlikely to be affected, please be aware that there are restrictions on the amount of storage and data transfer with any hosting agreement.
For those with the technical knowledge 20MB storage space per domain and 200MB data transfer (bandwidth) each month per domain. For those to whom that seems like impenetrable jargon, don't worry, we will look after it for you — if required, we offer you the ability to purchase more bandwidth or storage space at very reasonable cost — however, should you regularly exceed your allotted quota and fail to upgrade, it may be necessary to suspend your hosting until this can be resolved. (Prices as of 24/4/03: Data Transfer at just 2p per MB per month in 500MB blocks; extra 20MB of Webspace at £24 per year.)
