...webmastering
You can't just leave your site to gather dust on the web - it
needs to be looked after by a webmaster. So what does a webmaster
do?
Maintenance...
...including editing pages, adding new ones, deleting old ones,
checking links, etc etc. In short, making sure that each and every
page is up to date, relevant and properly linked.

Hosting
Your website has to live somewhere, and this is where a hosting
company comes in. The level of services provided by these companies
ranges from excellent to awful, and some of the biggest names give
some of the worst service.
Dot Web Design provides good value web hosting, but for design clients only. Of course, you can arrange your own hosting as well.

Search engine optimisation
No doubt you get plenty of unsolicited email from "search
engine optimisation" companies, all claiming to boost your
site to the top of the search engine results. Well, of course it's
not that simple. Search engine optimisation is a bit of an art,
and there are no easy one-off solutions.
We know lots of tricks to improve your site's ranking in search
engine results, and we'll use them all to push your site up the
ladder.

Statistics analysis
Most hosting companies will provide a logfile which shows who's
been looking at your website. Many also provide summary pages of
statistics. But if you really want to make the most of your site's
logs, you need to analyse them properly and act on the results
- another job for a skilled webmaster.
