Domain Registration
What's in a name? Domain registration simply refers to the address that people use to find you or your business (in this case, lakeville.co.uk). The cost of registering your domain name is £10 per annum. However, as of June 2005 there were 64,808,485 websites (source)

Website redesign
There are many factors surrounding why redesigning your website maybe necessary. Does it still represent your company image? When was it last updated? Does it work in all the major internet browsers (Microsoft's Internet Explorer has become less popular over the years)? Has it disappeared from the major search engines? Are you paying a fortune to your web design company for updates?
Read on to see how Lakeville will benefit your revamped web presence.
Search Engine Optimization
It's all well and good having a well-designed website, but what if your customers cannot find it? Search Engine Optimization (or SEO) simply refers to carefully arranging and refining your website's content so search engines (such as Google, Yahoo, MSN etc) give the pages a higher ranking. Many web design companies offer Search Engine Optimization as a highly expensive additional service - Lakeville ensure your website is search engine optimized as part of the package.

Content Management Systems
In short, a content management system (CMS) is a collection of tools, similar to a software package that allows its users to add, remove or edit content, despite having little or no knowledge of HTML. In a matter of minutes, you can add, edit or delete pages and images all using a handy editor with an interface that works almost identically to Microsoft Word - meaning your previous web design company of choice can no longer charge you a lot of money for the smallest of updates. Sounds good?
