We are pleased to Welcome Daniel to our team over the summer. Dan is studying for his A-levels and has joined us over the summer to gain some valuable work experience and help out with out workload.

Dan’s main area of interest is web standards based web development and coding in PHP. We’ll welcome him the the team properly soon with a Websights night out

Our latest team member Rich (Business Development Manager) is based in Whitby, North Yorkshire, so we are now actively seeking web design clients in the North East, including Whitby, Scarborough, Bridlington, Middlesbrough, and Darlington. Rich is well placed to visit clients in the North East from his base in Whitby, as well as working with our existing clients in East Yorkshire.

We have aways had web design clients all over the country, but most of them have traditionally been in the East Yorkshire area. Even with all the benefits of the latest technology at our disposal, we prefer to have regular face-to-face contact with clients. So, if you are based in the North East and want award winning web designers to help achieve your online goals, please let us know!

For some time now, a company called Domain Regsitry of America (or Domain Registry of Europe) has been writing to domain name owners “warning” them that their domain names are due to expire unless they are renewed. These letters are being sent to our customers as well of customers of other ISPs and hosting companies.

The letters are a con and an underhand attempt to take ownership of domain names unethically. The company has been the subject of legal challenges in the US/Canada (see here) and the FTC taken them to court.

Please be assured that these notices should be ignored - they are not legitmate and if they are completed there is a danger that you domain name will be transferred without you explicit consent, and excessive charges will become payable.

We always write to our customers when domains are due for renewal, so there is no need to worry about missing any renewal dates. If you are concerned about any correspondence you have received, please just give us a call and we’ll check it out for you.

We are pleased to announce that we have launched a Fast Start package that includes web site, domain name, and e-mail from £349+VAT. Most of our work is at the higher-end with more complex web designs, but we have recently had an increasing number of requests for basic web design - and we don’t want to turn business away!

As usual, we wont offer “template” designs - all of them will be unique and designed for you, but by keeping things simple we can build an attractive and functional web site quickly and easily.

Have a look at www.websights.co.uk/faststart.asp for more information and, as usual, if you have any queries, please just contact us.

We are pleased to announce that Rich has joined our team as business development manager. He will be helping new clients, developing our product portfolio, expanding our target market over North-East England, and making sure exisiting clients get the best level of service from us.

Rich has been getting in contact with existing clients to say hello, but if he’s missed anyone you can drop him a line on 01430 498231 or rich@websights.co.uk

We are really looking forward to the coming months as we diversify our product range and look to expand further afield in Yorkshire and the North-East.

Welcome to our new blog, which we have been intending to get online for months, but as usual we’ve been too busy designing and building web sites to sort our own out!

We will post our latest news on here including site launches as they happen, as well as our thoughts on the web design industry, web design in the North East, and anything else that takes our fancy.
