FAQs
There's a reason why businesses like yours choose Prolocus on a daily basis
With a continuous rise in self-employment, you probably landed here because you have a business idea and need a website to showcase your product or service.
Or maybe you already have an established business with a website. In which case you probably already realised that online "do-it-yourself" websites just don't have the impact your business deserves. After all, you are not a Web Designer and don't have the time to be one. Most importantly, you want a website that converts and looks as professional on mobile devices as it does on PCs.
Perhaps you want a little bit more than just a website. A database-driven web application or portal to provide your customers with an intelligent online service or to streamline your internal business workflow. A web application can provide an outstanding experience and automate a big part of your business - while eliminating human error at the same time.
Prolocus will provide you with a web development service that exceeds your expectations, at an affordable price. No shenanigans, just an honest high-quality service that we're certain you will love.
All work is done in-house by our UK based development team, using our own platform - we do not outsource products or services.
A platform and infrastructure ready to grow with you from day one
Scalability should never be overlooked when you plan your next online venture. In fact, it should be one of the main focus points in your plan. As we all know - failing to plan, is planning to fail.
A scalable website or web application can handle an increase in load, users, processes, demand for storage and all other kinds of resources. The ability to handle such demand needs to also be achieved without disrupting the end users.
Scalability is crucial to the life of all online projects. Without it they will simply fail. Understanding what scalability is and how to achieve it from design right through to implementation is, unfortunately, where most developers and infrastractures fail. But not us!
What makes us different? We're glad you asked. Out platform is based on the same set of technologies used by major online companies such as Facebook, Wikipedia, Yahoo and many more. You can start with a simple website and get us to implement new features over time - smoothly transforming your website into a full-blown web application. Our platform already powers major database-driven online systems.
As for the infrastructure, our scalable cloud-based platform allows you to increase capacity as your project grows. We offer three main subscriptions that you can upgrade to, beyond that we can tailor a package that suits your needs.
How to get started?
We understand that wanting a website, web application or portal can be overwhelming especially if you are not a technical person. This is where Prolocus stands out. We wanted to make sure the process of starting an online project is as simple as it can be. You simply need nothing but your idea to get started.
We also wanted to make sure that when you brief us about your requirements, there is no back and forth with emails, attachments and confusion to both parties. By getting started, our system will walk you through all the details we need to know - nothing more and nothing less. It also makes sure the information you send us is secure and organised so there is no time wasted.
If there is more information that we need from you, we will get in touch. So just sit back, relax and follow the simple steps. Our messaging portal also keeps communication between us logged, organised and most importantly - safe!
The process to brief us does not take long but we understand you might be busy and cannot provide all the required information at once. That's fine, because your briefing progress is saved and you can come back to it whenever you like. Once you are happy with the information you provided, you simply click a button to submit your briefing. We then look at it and take any special requirements into consideration before we send you a fixed quote. There is no commitment to accept our quote. If you do want to go ahead at this point you can simply accept the agreement and we will immediately start working on your project.
How much does it cost?
There's two parts to developing a website, web application or portal. The first part is the development, which involves a programmer and designer implementing your website. The second part is web hosting. Web hosting is the physical location where your project will live online (i.e. web server). Think of it as ground rent.
Every project is different. The cost of developing your website, web application or portal depends on your requirements. But it will be a fixed price starting from as little as £199 (excluding VAT). We do not want to charge you the full amount at once, so we will typically ask for a deposit as protection. The rest we will ask you to pay when the project is completed prior to hand-over.
Unlike most other web development companies, we actually give you the source-code for your project so you are free to host it with a different web hosting company if you wish. We even give you 90 days free hosting with us upon completion. You can then decide if you want us to continue hosting your project. If you continue hosting with us, there is no minimum contract or commitments. You can pay-as-you-go, pay in bulk or have us collect the money automatically on monthly basis.
Prolocus Hosting prices are very competitive, starting from just £9.99 (excluding VAT) per month for a typical new website with 1 mailboxes. To find out more about our hosting options, see our packages section.
Will you keep me updated about progress?
Absolutely! Better than any other web development company. Most other companies (or freelancers) are quick to take your money but neglect you afterwards. This is not us at all. We even invested a lot of money to make sure you are always kept in the loop. Simply because we would like to keep you with us, have you come back to us for more work and provide you with such an impressive service that you recommend us to your friends and family.
First of all, our system will automatically email you to let you know if we need your input with regards to any particular stage. It will also send you reminders if you forget. But the best part is the fact that we have an amazing project tracker which will show you what has been completed, what we are currently working on at any given time, and last but not least, what is left for us to do. Simply log into your account, click on My Orders, then select your project and see the progress under the Tracker tab. Everything is date stamped.
Our websites and web applications come with 90 days free hosting without commitment.
