| Your payment for Email services and Website hosting is paid to us via direct debit. We will be asking you for your bank account and sort code to set this up. Please note, if you pay us any of these instalments prior to us providing you with hosting services, this money will be taken off your final one-off bill for the creation of your website. (In other words, if for some reason the website build is delayed – your end or ours – and you have paid us for hosting when there is nothing to host, you will not lose out). |
How do I access my webmail?
To access your webmail…
Type in: webmail.yourdomain.co.uk (replacing yourdomain.co.uk with your actual domain name), this will open your webmail log in page.
Enter your username & password.
Username = Your email address (the email account you are trying view data and/or send or receive from)
Password = The email password supplied to you by us. (If you have lost this please email us from a separate email account and we will send to you, we may ask you, online, some security questions).
Please do not change your password.
1 We will migrate your existing emails from your current mail server over to the new mail server, giving you peace of mind that no important emails will be lost after the move.
2 Our ‘Basic Email Service’ includes a 200MB mailbox. The mailboxes have a 10 email per hour sending limitation. This is to ensure that our customers are not using our mail-server to send out mass spam emails. We will be alerted to any email address that exceeds this limit and may need to contact you (the customer) to check for suspicious activity on the account. We do not recommend relying solely on webmail, and it is your (the customer’s) responsibility to backup emails regularly. We (Web Directions) cannot be held responsible for any loss of email, or any misconfiguration of email settings in 3rd party email client software or device such as Outlook, MacMail, Mobile phones or Tablets. We can, for a fee, help setup email on your computer or device, but we must be made aware of the specific device in advance. This fee is £15 per device if performed at our studio, or £25 per device + travel expenses, if you wish us to come to you. These are all one off costs. Alternately we can simply send you the codes and many of you will be able to set up your new email account on your device (normally Table, PC or Smartphone) yourselves.

Glossary
Meta Tags
Meta tags and metadata allows the website to define non-visible information about the website. Search engines can use this information to determine what information they should feature in the search results etc.
Alt Text
Stands for alternative text. This is the text that is displayed if an image fails to load and is also used for accessibility. If you are blind, your computer will read out the image alt text as a way of describing to the user what the image is portraying.
HTML5 Element Tags
HTML5 offers new semantic elements to define different parts of a web page which make it easier for search engines to locate and read relevant content on your site.
Backend
This is the non-customer facing, behind the scenes part of the website. EG, the code files and databases which make the website work.
Breadcrumb Navigation Paths
These are text links which show the user where abouts on the website they are in relation to other content on the site. If they clicked on ‘Link 1’ from the homepage, the breadcrumb on that page would display as ‘Home > Link 1’. You can then use these links to quickly navigate back to previously visited or other relative pages on the website.
Google Analytics
Google Analytics allows you to track pages on your website and monitor which pages are viewed the most, how visitors got to that page and how long they stayed on that page. You can then use this information to improve weaker pages and also to find ways to encourage visitors to come back to your website. Read more here.
