You will need to purchase your own domain to commence website build.

A domain is your website name – the address where Internet users access your website.

• We recommend Go Daddy / Crazy Domains to purchase your domain.
• Both providers offer email if you want a custom email address to match your domain.

*We are not an IT business, therefore do not offer email support.

Web hosting is an internet hosting service that is needed to make a website accessible via the internet.

How much does web hosting cost?
Web hosting & SSL is included in the first year of our Website Design packages, then renews at $20/month (billed annually) after that.

SSL Certificate (Secure Socket Layer) is the standard technology for keeping an internet connection secure and safeguarding any sensitive data. If your site doesn’t have SSL, Google Chrome shows a “Not Secure” sign beside your URL. This creates a credibility issue for your website.

Why do I need SSL?

• Google Standards: Google indexes and rewards sites that use SSL by boosting your search engine rankings.
• Fully Secured Website: An SSL Certificate connected to your site, will secure your website with the highest levels of encryption, protecting your users and their data.
• User Confidence: Build your user’s confidence with a website they can trust.

Once your website is completed, there are a number of tasks and registrations that need to be completed before your website is fully indexed on Google Search and Google Analytics. We complete these for you:

• Website indexing with Google Search Console.
• Google Analytics registration and account set-up – tracks the visitors to your website and evaluates website visitor performance.

Alternatively, Lumina offers content writing for websites in two ways:

Websites require maintenance to keep them relevant and technologically up to date.

Ongoing website maintenance ensures that your website works in a safe and efficient manner. It is important for:

It is also required to maintain the value of the website over time.

If you have an existing website that is giving you problems or needs a makeover, we recommend a fresh, new start or rebrand. As we provide niche, bespoke website design, we only work on designs that are our own creation.

Creating a new and improved website from its core will not only lay the foundation for a clean website build (free from overloaded plugins and problems) and boast elevated design, but also result in the best outcomes for your business.

In order to hone in on our specialties and provide the right formula that is customised to you, we would build a new website for you from a brand new WordPress staging site. That way you can keep your existing website live during the design and development phase of the new website. 

We can work with your existing content, domain, hosting and SSL if you do not want to change these, then migrate the new staging website across to your existing domain when it’s ready to launch.
