WEB DEVELOPMENT: WEB DESIGN

With the increasingly high use, availability and speed of the internet, a website should be an essential part of any marketing strategy. Available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days per year, a website is a cost-effective way to promote your business with a higher degree of flexibility than traditional forms of advertising.

Websites allow your customers the convenience of finding out about your business, downloading relevant information and making purchases, even when you're not in the office.

A website:

Can grow as you grow
Can remain current
Can include as much or as little information as you wish
Is not limited by a chosen paper/print size
Is not dependent on your opening/closing times
Can reduce customer service time
Can generate sales through online purchasing

We have been designing web sites since the 1990's and have seen many changes take place, new technologies emerge and many companies fall by the wayside. We're commonly asked what sets our products and services apart from low-cost competitors and the answer is surprisingly simple - a website is only a part of our service.

While low-cost, instant websites may seem an attractive solution, we work with you directly to develop unique websites that are tailored to suit your individual requirements

We believe in:

Researching and understanding your market
Developing a website strategy
Providing mechanisms for your website to improve your business
Consulting you directly and providing assitance throughout the development process
Onsite visits - where possible, we come to you!
Providing you with information on current web-trends and ways of 'future proofing' your website
Honest and upfront guidance, informing you of all available options

Whether you are looking to establish a website or upgrade an existing site, we understand the importance of the internet as a marketing tool and strive to develop websites with appealing, original and unique designs, a high level of usability and standards-compliant pages.

Websites are built using industry standard applications and formats enabling clients to take advantage of all the web has to offer. We specialise in custom designs, cross-browser compatibility, interactive content, flash animation, database integration and e-commerce solutions.

By choosing to have a professionally designed and configured website, your website will adhere to industry standards, guidelines and technologies. A committment to research and development, experience, knowledge and ethics, ensures our websites are high quality, current and usable.
