Why Choose Aura Website Design

There is no simple answer to this because our websites are customised for our clients. They each may require different functionality, for example an e-commerce solution or online shop will cost more than a standard website. As a guide however, we can build a website from only $1450; the average cost for a small business website is around $1750.00 – It is best to ask us though, because we offer free quotes with absolutely no obligation.

Yes we are more than happy to help you with any part of the process. In fact, most of our clients don’t want to waste time trying to understand the process, they simply want a website! We will take care of everything, all we need is some basic information from you so that we can set up the necessary framework, this usually takes 15 – 20 mins and can be done over the telephone.

Domain names are obtained through a registrar, this is a simple process and we help our clients with this.

Hosting is where your website is stored on a server. A server is essentially a computer where your website will live allowing web users to access it. Yes you will need hosting. Most of our packages include fully managed hosting so you don't have to worry about this.

Hosting is relatively inexpensive and the cost depends on what is required, for example a standard website will require less resources and will cost less. Costs for hosting will vary between providers and it is best to avoid cheap hosting. Standard website hosting with a reputable company is approximately $35 – $45 per month

Yes, but there are a few things you need to know. The package prices shown on this website are based on hosting your website with us - if you decide to move your web hosting there will be an additional fee and some of the features/services will no longer work. Our packages include your first year of hosting and updates etc... If you are planning on using your own host please contact us first for pricing and details - we will need to have access to the control panel of your server to check if the hosting is suitable. We are not responsible for your hosting if the server fails or does not have enough resources. Please contact us for more information.

CMS is short for content managed system, this means a website that is fundamentally designed to allow easy updating and administration by the owner without the need for technical training. We exclusively use WordPress - the most used system in the world. Please contact us for more information.

Yes, we offer SEO - search engine optimisation packages to suit all budgets. Our packages include ongoing SEO as well as”one off” SEO – Ongoing SEO is most effective as the data is regularly analysed and changes are made to the website to capitalise on users habits, search terms and engagement. One off SEO is suited to smaller businesses and involves discovering keywords and key phrases that users may enter into search engines to find your website. This data is then used to maximise the opportunities presented when a visitor lands on your website.

A mobile responsive website is designed to display correctly on multiple devices and screens sizes. For example if you visit this website with a mobile device you will see that it changes to accommodate your device, this is critical for your business because more users are searching for products or services with their mobile phones, etc. Google now only lists mobile friendly websites in its search results from mobile users, this means you could be ignoring millions of potential customers!
