Website design | Marketing | Content management

Website design

We off a range of web design methods so we can tailor the solution to your needs. When creating simple HTML sites (most websites are HTML based) we follow W3C (world wide web consortium) guide lines and use CSS. As well as meaning your site will be viewed consistently in different browsers this also means we can add support for mobile devices.

We can also use JavaScript and php to add dynamic content to your site. For example including pictures which change constantly or displaying the time. For details on how you can update your own site
see content management below.

Marketing

When we build websites we don't just think about how they look to your visitors - we also consider what they look like to search engines - which makes us very different from programs such as Word and even Dreamweaver which can make your site almost invisible to search engines! If you already have a website which doesn't rank well, this may be one of the reasons behind it.

We submit all our websites to search engines, which is both easy to do and free. Unfortunately there is no easy way to have your site ranked highly by search engines, so don't believe anyone who says otherwise (at one time there were tricks, but search engines are now aware of these). To increase your search engine listings you need a site which is highly visible to search engines but you also need to "show" them that your site is "important" by being linked to from many other "important" sites. Therefore a simple and tedious process is the only sensible way of increasing your search engine rankings and this is a service that we offer.

If you're looking for large numbers of site visitors pay-per-click adverts are an excellent way of achieving this- you can pay to be displayed next to certain search results on Google for example. We offer consulting on this and a range of other online advertising opportunities. If you'd like to make money from your website you can also place adverts on it.

Content Management

Content management sounds ominous, but really it means a very simple way for you to keep your site updated. Perhaps you need to be able to update your whole site, perhaps it's only one page you need to be editable, or perhaps you want to list your entire catalogue online. Our content management expertise can deal with these and many more situations, by installing a ready-made solution and editing it to your requirements. Content management means that your data is stored in a database rather than a file, so content management is also known as "database driven" websites. See demo.
