Logo - Artwork from Rays Web Studio

Images Make the Website - At Rays Web Studio we use Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop to help improve them.

We will gladly help create a logo for you or to redraw an exisiting version to make it fit for the web.

Do We Charge?

Yes and No. We reserve the right to charge for artwork. In reality our willingness to charge depends upon the time involved. We are also happy to mock up ideas for our clients and for them to be taken and completed elsewhere.

Originals of Artwork created are always provided to the client upon completion of the website.

Images make a website - they deserve to be good.

Ideally all images used should be supplied by the client but where the images are not suitable we will recommend the use of stock images. We will never source external 'stock images' without prior reference to the client but reserve the right to recharge part or all of any costs incurred.

Photoshop type composite images.

We can arrange for some brilliant composite images to be used within your website but where we have to outsource the work then those costs must be settled directly with the photographer / specialist. <<< Close >>>

Rays Web Studio Photo Gallery Design

Images which will benefit from being 'expanded' when the user clicks are part of our website design, as too are simple galleries.

Over and above that we also supply a dedicated Photo Gallery with Slide Show capability

With our photo gallery the user can upload their own images and thumbnail images are created automatically.

The user can create their own galleries and the only limit to the number of galleries which can be created is the server space available to store the images.

Navigation of the galleries is updated each time a gallery is added and is via a tree.

This is one of the best photo galleries currently available and becomes cheap to run because all updating is understaken by the user so minimal or no webmaster fees are incurred.

Click the Gallery link at the top of the page to view a working sample.

Rays Web Studio Web Hosting Service

Elsewhere within our pages we discuss Hosting companies who trap clients into using their services, we do not do that!

We started hosting websites because we sometimes wrote some of our websites in a net language called Asp.Net. We believe (Asp).Net to be an all round versatitle and advanced net language, particularly for Websites using Databasing Technology. For example, we currently provide a superior web photo gallery, it is Asp.Net based.

Websites written in Asp require a Microsoft Server to host them and traditionally MS servers are more expensive than standard Linex / Apache servers which we felt was wrong for our clients.

We decided to take space on a MS server and to 're-host' the space at rates compariable with Linex / Apache servers.

That said, our customers are not tied into us, they can host their websites whereever they prefer. Where we do host a website we do not insist on a minimum contract period except where we have paid the costs to transfer a Domain Name to our server address, then we ask for a mimimum 4 month committment.

While we like to reserve our space for our clients websites we do host 'external' sites.

The servers we use run asp.net3, php mysql etc, so they are versatile. Our charges are extremely competitive but will vary dependent upon the the technical and human resources needed. That said we provide a pretty good hosting service to include webmaster services so please feel free to request a quote.

Bespoke Website Design from Rays Web Studio v On-line Templates

The only limits to a Website design are those imposed by the imagination of the Client and the Designer.

While templates are a good starting place for considering a Website design beyond that we believe they offer little by way of value.

On-line template services may sound 'cheap' but on closer inspection, they rarely are.

Often they charge £50.00 per page, but you will do all the work often without insight into design psychology?

Then you may have to Host with them otherwise your website will not function. You are trapped.

Ray's Website Design Studio are willing to charge a similar amount for a Website tailored to fit your ideas and your customer needs which can be hosted anywhere.

In our opinion templated designs will hinder your business growth because they do not provide a design that is tailored to suit you and more importantly, your customers.

Ultimately template services must detract from your business message and your image. If you are serious about your business you should be serious about your Website

Talk to a Website Design Studio before embarking on your Website venture, you may get a pleasant business boosting surprise. <<< Close >>>
