Frequently Asked Questions
Which Package is Right for Me?
One Page Website
Startup business or micro businesses that don’t have or need a lot of content may be able to do perfectly well with a one-page website. Simply choose any of our designs, and we’ll customise the homepage part of it to suit you. Your page will have premium custom design featuring a full width homepage slider, text, feature boxes, interactive Google Map, social media integration and contact form. You get a domain name and 1GB hosting included, along with support, software updates and backups. It’s a perfect choice for startups as you can get it up and running quickly, and have a professional web presence without the overheads of a larger website.

This package is our recommended package for most small businesses, whether for individuals or a small team. Professional designers will lay out up to 8 of your main pages, including stock photography for a speedy launch and quality design. We’ll also adjust your site’s colours to match your branding. We’ll set up your business on Google MyBusiness if not already registered. A full width homepage slider allows you to promote your key services or products. We’ll install Google Analytics for you so you can monitor how your site is used. Up to 3 higher complexity forms can be set up in addition to your simple contact form, so you can collect more detailed information, and then integrate the form’s output to a variety of 3rd party web applications via Zapier. 5GB web space and a new domain name is included. Finally, you can request free WordPress plugins* to be installed on your site to expand it’s functionality – you only pay for more complex plugins to be configured.
*any new functionality via a plugin or 3rd party service be approved for compatibility and security.
Medium Business Package

How long will it take to build my new website?
- How long it takes you to prepare your content – this is the most influential factor in determining the length of time it takes to get your site ready for launch.
- How long it takes to approve design changes
- How long it takes to set up any additional functionality
- How long it takes to test and iron out any issues before launch
Most websites can be ready within a month if content is provided in a timely manner.
How much of my site do I have to build myself?
Personal Package – You will be responsible for adding all your content and arranging it as you like it with the visual editor. The design you choose will come with a default layout that you can use, or you can modify it to suit your needs.
Small Business Package – your site comes with a default layout, but we can also modify this layout for you to suit your requirements during the setup process. We will also lay out up to 8 of your main pages (including the homepage) for you to help get your site ready for launch more quickly and provide a more professional look.
Medium Business Package – your site comes with a default layout, but we can also modify this layout for you to suit your requirements during the setup process. We will also lay out up to 8 of your main pages (including the homepage) for you to help get your site ready for launch more quickly and provide a more professional look.
All our themes feature a visual builder, allowing you to modify the layout visually whilst browsing the site. This is cutting edge technology and is quick and intuitive to use. You also have the choice of editing your pages using WordPress’ own content editor – a simple text box with MS Word style toolbar or the theme’s drag and drop interface which gives you the same level of control over your content as the visual editor but is more menu driven than visual.
Is there a set up fee?
Can I use another theme other than those on Deluxe Web?
What if I have an existing domain name?
We can purchase and renew a new domain name for you if you don’t want to use your current domain name, or simply don’t have one.
Can I install whatever plugin I like?
If the plugin you have requested is not a free plugin from the WordPress plugin repository, you will need to purchase the license to use the plugin in addition to any setup fees required.
What happens if I want to cancel?
Where necessary, we can provide you with FTP access to specific folders of content so you can download files. We can also make your files available to you as a zip archive if preferred.
Can you tell me about your hosting?
Litespeed caching is installed on all our sites to make them super fast.
How do I pay?
Credit terms:
If your payment is late we will issue a late payment notice. If we still haven’t received your payment after 15 days, we will suspend your site. If no payment is received after 30 days, we will cancel your site and remove your files from our server.
Can I pay annually?
Do I get administrator access?
Do you provide email?
We provide email forwarding and email accounts.
Email Accounts
We can set up new IMAP email accounts for you which you can access either through a web browser or your computer/tablet/phone’s email client apps. Each package has a bundled number of accounts and forwarders available.
Email Forwarding
Email sent to your forwarding address will be forwarded to your personal email. We can also set up forwarders to use Google Mail if you would like to use this as a mail account for your business. Email forwarding works beautifully with GMail to give you multiple email addresses that you can send from, all from the same email account. This is often much better than the bundled email account services you get with hosting. Crucially, it also means that if you decide to leave us, your Gmail account will not be affected – just set up new forwarders at your next hosting provider and off you go.
External Email
You may, of course, prefer to use your own email services elsewhere, just let us know the MX records and we’ll point your domain’s email to your external email service.
Can I change my package?
We currently do not allow clients to downgrade due to the nature of our pay-as-you-go service.
How should I provide my logo?
We prefer high resolution files, preferably with the logo on a transparent background so that our designers can incorporate it easily against the background of your site.
We accept the following standard file formats:, JPEG, TIFF, Photoshop (.psd), Illustrator (.ai), Vector (.eps), PDF.
Generally, designers use a program called Illustrator to design your logo.
Adobe Illustrator is a vector based program, and the benefit of this is that vector-based images can be resized both larger and smaller without diminishing the quality.
Please contact the designer who created your logo and ask them to give you your logo design in the format that we require, as this will ensure that we can incorporate it effectively.
If you don’t have a logo, check out www.freelogoservices.com. Or perhaps Fiverr.
***Please Note***
Different designs have different logo dimensions, and so we are restricted by the modifications we can make.
Where appropriate we will give you logo area dimensions for your logo designers.
Do you provide custom web design?
You’re also able to use the visual editor to edit the layout of any of your pages yourself.
If you are interested in creating an entirely bespoke website not based on our designs, please contact us and we will be delighted to discuss your project.
