Online Services
Every business should have a professional online presence.
However, many smaller businesses do not have the time to invest in setting up their own website and may fear the costs which can escalate once they begin.
The Chamber has an in-house expert who can help you through the process of getting your business online. From setting up a professional website with email addresses that reflect your brand to creating an online shop with secure payment systems, we have the experience and knowledge you need. Costs start from as little as £25 plus VAT per year.

Website Design & Refresh
Approaching a new website can be overwhelming – most businesses need one yet don’t know where to begin and may be put off by expensive quotes.
At the Chamber, we pride ourselves on being able to offer free impartial advice backed up with managed solutions.
We will help you understand your target market and how best to interact with it. We will help you understand how the technology works and which solutions are best to you. We will introduce you to ideas around online marketing and how to get your site noticed.
Like not having a website at all, a poorly designed website can cost you business and give a bad first impression. At the Chamber, we can help you regain a professional presence online with a pain-free website review.
We will review your current site from both a design and functional viewpoint and give you suggestions as to how you can make it more appealing to your customers.
The Chamber can also advise on the use of social media as another way to engage with customers, both current and prospective.
The advice is free and you are welcome to do whatever you see fit with it. Get in touch to find out how we can help you with your web development project.
