In practice, everything to do with the Internet is an "ever changing process of continual evolvement". Our policy is to make you as self sufficient as you want to be and make you aware of what needs to be done. You can either implement things yourself, or we can set it all up for you and monitor you, and be here in the background as a bureau style Internet department whenever you need help.
The good news is that you can introduce and manage new options at a pace that suits you. But if you want your website to be more successful, things won't start changing until embrace this kind of activity.
It should take about a week to set everything up for you. Although each component has a "price tag", we'll always try and look at ways of pooling the key essential together and doing them all for a lower all-in price. The trouble is, whilst we can save you money on certain things, there are others that you can't avoid doing if you want it to work, and they either take time and/or money to set up properly. It's like building a house without putting in the foundations properly.
