In fact rather than going with a web design company in Edinburgh, many small businesses opt to go it alone and try and produce their own website. This can sometime lead to a disastrous and expensive mistake.

When this happens, the driving factor in many cases, is the cost of hiring a web design company in Edinburgh.

Edinburgh is well known for it's financial sector services, and claims to be the second largest financial centre next to London and this, in turn, attracts expensive property costs and thus expensive web design company costs.

There for, many smaller businesses in Edinburgh find that they simply cannot afford to hire a web development agency that will produce a website that is not only pleasing on the eye, but also technically functional and compliant with today's standards.

Small businesses in Edinburgh who decide to take a chance and design and publish their own website often fail to produce the results that they would really like and find that they need to compromise on both their desired look and their website functions and features.

However, one thing is for sure. Just like every other city in the world, Edinburgh does have affordable options. These web design companies are usually either freelance designers or smaller, out of town, agencies.

So, if you are a small business owner and think that you are not able to afford an Edinburgh web development agency due to the expensive overheads these agencies carry, do not give up hope, or begin to think that they will suddenly need to employ someone to produce a decent business website for them.

Although we are not a "hard to contact" freelance based organisation, we choose not to reside in the West End of Edinburgh.

This may mean we don't have an EH1 or EH2 post code in Edinburgh, but it also means we can keep our overheads to a minimum and pass those savings on to our customers.

So, by choosing My Web Care as your Edinburgh web design agency, you can have the functions, features and looks at at a price your budget can stand.

We are very much a team an enjoy not only meeting with the client to discuss and plan the video shoot, but also the creative element which can happen during the editing process.

Certainly up until now, all of our clients have been delighted with the video productions that we have created for them.

By using our own in house professional photographer, we are able to work on a very flexible account with our clients. It also allows us to maintain a high level of quality control to the project.

Of course, with our own in house professional photography service, we also keep costs to a minimum to the client.

Video production remains a large part of what we offer.

These videos can be simple storyboard videos, animated videos or even full chroma key (green screen) video productions.

Video on your business site takes your website to the next level – not everyone wants to read everything about what you can offer them.

A video can tell the whole story in under 2 minutes, and get your site visitor to take action, and get in touch with you.

What sometimes lets you down is, when your prospective customer arrives at your site, it's either loading very slowly, or worse still, not showing at all.

The reasons for a "no show" of your site can vary, but a simple one is that you've over used the bandwidth that your current supplier allows you for this month. This is particularly counter productive if you've had a very successful marketing campaign that brings a big spike in traffic, which in turn takes you over your monthly allowance (unless you pay more money to your service provider).

When this happens, your visitors usually see some sort of message about the site not being available due to probable issues with a bill payment! Not a great message to anyone who is considering using your services!

Another reason is that you've overloaded your web server with more files than expected and filling up the web server until you've no space left. This can happen for instance if you load large video files or busy image galleries – commonplace in the modern website.

So, for those of you who don't need our fully Managed Website Services right now can take advantage of our new Industry Strength Web Hosting service, independent from our web design, professional photography or video production services.

With our new Web Care Hosting offering, we provide a very generous 5000 Megabytes (5 Gigabytes) of web space and an unlimited amount of monthly bandwidth. This is the very package we use with our design customers since it caters perfectly for the image and video intensive sites we produce for our client.

We also supply 100 mail boxes, so you can have up to 100 email addresses for each of your business domains too.

Of course, if you need more space or email addresses, we can supply more – just ask – but your bandwidth will never run out!

We have also added the options to add hosted Microsoft Exchange 2008 mailboxes, the ability to receive an SMS to your mobile phone whenever you receive an email, and a Privacy Protection option for individual users to help cut down the amount of spam you may receive.

You get a full control panel and account administration portal where you can add new domains or hosting packages to your account, view your invoices and log into your webmail, hosting control panel & domain control panel – all from one convenient place.

If you like to see a demonstration of your web hosting control panel before you move your site to our service you can now do this by clicking here.

To chose your new domain and hosting package, without commitment to our design, photography & video services, simply click on this link today.

Having seen the value in a quality website being used in the local and national trades directories as well as in such places as Yellow Pages (Yell.com), Gary Miller and his team decided to appoint My Web Care as their website design and management supplier.

With the high quality Image Galleries & Video Case Study, Almond Decorators are able to clearly show some of their recent work to their prospective customers effortlessly and with a high degree of professionalism. 

We are delighted to announce the launch of the site and look forward to supporting Almond Decorators with their online marketing campaigns.

Almond Decorators join the growing portfolio of customers the My Web Care now has designed a website, supplied a professional photography service, created unique video storyboards for. They all now also enjoy a trouble free site update and maintenance service thanks to our unique support arrangement.

So, we've now added a Portfolio page to our site, that will continue to list our customer sites as we grow.

As you will see from the sites listed, we do have a certain "style" to our builds, but each one of our customer sites are packed with features that would normally be either very expensive to develop or time consuming to maintain – but are actually delivered and managed by us at a very affordable price for most businesses.

These features range from video "story boards" trough to dynamic image galleries of our customer's recent work.

By using a combination of strong imagery and engaging video, our clients are already experiencing an increase in interest from their prospective customers – and some have already reported an increase in business, even in these difficult economic times.

What we are discovering on a very regular basis is that, even though all the traditional marketing and advertising mediums continue to generate interest in our client's businesses – if there is a poor website listed in those advertisements then (no matter how big the advertising listing is) a poor website portrays poor attention to detail to your business and can discourage your prospective customer from picking up the phone and calling upon your product or service.

We also know from recent experience that, once your website is created, revised or rebuilt by us with the fresh. dynamic material that we produce that really engages your customer, you can expect your phone to begin ringing more regularly!
