The following can be added to your website at a small extra cost. See our List of Prices for more details:
- Translations. We can currently translate your website into English, French, Dutch, German, Italian, Portuguese or Spanish.
- News Ticker Bars. A rotating scrollbar of news items. You can use this as an eye-catching way of letting your visitors know about changes to your gite or special offers. See an example here.
- Downloadable Forms. Downloadable forms for Booking, Enquiries or Terms and Conditions. These can be in Word or PDF format. Some of your customers may feel more comfortable with a hard copy which they can fill in by hand and send back, or keep for their records.

The size of your website, how many languages it has been translated into and how many pages you have really should not effect how much it costs for renewal - there is not much extra work involved. So unlike most of our competitors, we only charge one flat renewal fee for all our customers. See our List of Prices for more details.
Anything is Possible
There is a saying in the IT industry, 'Anything is possible, it's just a case of how much and how long'. That is certainly the case for web design. If you have something specific in mind, no matter how large or small, we'd be happy to hear from you and give you a 'no more than' quote.
