Website Design and Build

Design Visuals

A website design needs to look appealing. It also needs to work. We create initial website design visuals for a project that show a home page and subsequent content pages. The visuals show a very basic representation of how the website will look and function, mainly because they are produced flat (with no movement or interaction). These designs are based on initial discussions and requirements. They also integrate features of a website to enhance usability.

Website Copyright Free Imagery

Attractive imagery is integral to your website design and that is what we use imagery for - visual enhancement. We have access to thousands of stock images, which are copyright free. We include these in the packages, although we are obviously restricted to what is available. You end up with a website with appropriate (or metaphorical) images in the right place to enhance to the content.

Search Engine Friendly Websites

Every website we build is also search engine friendly. Although, unless requested, a website might not be written in a highly optimised way; the way we design and build our websites, including folder structures, file names, content structure, etc., makes our websites work better with search engines.

Website Copywriting

Writing copy for the web is different from writing copy for traditional marketing. The words we use, how we use them and where we use them are critical. Not just for driving search engine traffic, but also building upon the way people read (or scan) your web content. Our copy is written to attract traffic straight to the appropriate page on your site, then to deliver qualifying information quickly.

Website Optimisation

Search Engine Optimisation (SEO)

As an initial service with your website, we can make search engine optimisation a key feature of the build. We do this with our SEO specialists to establish the most appropriate keywords, how and where to intergrate them, and by creating genuine value to your website for search engines. The keywords you think are the right ones may not be and how they are implemented is just as important. We also look at creating relevant and valuable incoming links.

Ongoing SEO

To remain competitive with the search engines, your website needs to remain active; working hard to maintain (and improve upon) it's position in the search engine rankings.

Additionals

RSS Feed / Blog Integration

We can set you up with a Company Blog and feed the information directly into your website to act as a news feature. This is a very inexpensive way of creating updates to a news section. The refreshing of your website also adds value as your website changes for the user, and also for the search engines.

Database Backend / Content Management

If you want more comprehensive (and bespoke) facilities to your website, we can add database integration. This could be simple content-management or fully blown e-shop facilities. One of the most complex systems we have built has a fully functioning meeting scheduler where users arrange meetings and the system pairs them up like a dating agency.

Full Content Management

We also have a product that allows you to have a full content-managed website solution. We design templates, integrate them into the system, then the structure and all web content is fully manageable. Ideal if you want total control and are making lots of regular changes to your website.

Other Services

Blog Design

If you have created a blog using one of the many online services (we like typepad), we can design the blog to match your corporate identity based on editing the standard templates. We can incorporate your logos and the relevant link backs to your main web site.
