We get questions - lots of them! By far the easiest way to get an answer is to get in touch and we can talk things through. Everyone's situation requires a bit of thinking, some juggling of ideas, but we've put together a few things that might answer the basics and point you in the right direct.

Don't hesitate to contact us to discuss your requirements and see what we can do for you.

How long will it take for my web site to be designed?

There's a 'piece of string' question! All sites have different requirements and different priorities. If you've a mad panic job to get out in double quick time, we can bring in resource quickly and make sure you deliver. If you're after something straightforward then a few days might be possible. Usually though we would suggest a structured process to understand your needs, provide ideas and proofs of concept, then work up your site ready for a final round of changes and fine tuning. The speed we move at is pretty much up to you.

Will we need to have a meeting in connection with the website design?

In most cases we would advocate a meeting. It's possible to manage this via phone, email and conference facilities if you need, but nothing beats a sit down around a table and thrash things out with crayons! As usual it comes down to your timescales, budget and requirements.

What services do you offer?

CTA Marketing tends to specialise in consultancy, development and generally taking an idea through to a working website. But it's a big complicated world out there so we've got friends in lots of places. If you need high end creative and copy skills, email management, SMS, hosting or media buying needs, we've got guys with pretty impressive pedigrees to assist. Tell us what you need and we bet there's not going to be anything we can't do!

Do you do SEO?

No. We do much more. In this day and age it's not enough to put a few keywords onto your pages and watch it climb the rankings when people search for the phrase 'goat herding in azerbaijan'. Yes there's a lot of technical stuff we can do (and we do!) but without following this through to the customer journey, it can be a lot of wasted effort. Now we're talking proper marketing.

What is a CMS?

Content Management System is the short answer. The slightly more informative answer is it's a system which allows you to control and update the content of your website. It creates a framework where the technical bods do all the fun stuff that makes your site work. Then you are free to develop the content that makes your site interesting and value for your users. This often makes a website far more efficient to manage as you can't really break anything when you make changes. It also reduces the cost of calling in the developers to change simple parts of your pages.

Does a CMS make all websites look the same?

It all depends on how you set it up. If you need lots of websites to look the same, then yes - and this is a really effective way to 'rebrand' versions of your website. But if you're worried that your site will end up looking like every other website, take a look at our portfolio. We have created a number of sites and each has it's own unique look and feel. Even CTA Marketing itself runs from Joomla CMS. We think it looks quite nice :)
