Website Development

“We build websites for people and companies living in the real world ”

What do we mean by that? With our first ever website design going live way back in 1998, we’re not beginners at web design. While it can still be seen as a highly technical environment to some (indeed it can be), we aim to work with our clients to achieve website designs that achieve their objectives and de-mystify the whole business of website design. While we’re happy to talk technical with your knowledgeable staff, we also take great pains to explain to you how it all works in terms you’ll understand. Whether you’re promoting a great new event or service, or you need to get selling online or make the ‘phone ring, we work with you to integrate the website into your daily work and make it a vital part of what you do to make people more excited about your business.

We create pretty much all our designs today on a powerful content management platform. Quite simply, it’s a powerful platform that gives users the ability to add content and update the information without having to wait around for the website design department to change things. While not needed for every single client, this ability to publish online, at short notice if required, makes it really useful for search engine positioning with Google if you follow some simple guidelines. We work with the relevant people in your organisation to coach them on the best practices and train them how best to add interesting content to your website.

Some companies struggle to find ways to achieve this, but still want to have regular changes and new content added. For those areas, we supply an ongoing website support service that works with you to add relevant content using any combination of written features, photography and video. Once of the single most important aspects of a good website, once the design has been decided, is good quality content. We can teach you how to look around you and see useful stories that make people more interested in your business and show you ways to create more interest in the things that you know you do so well and wish others could see. We teach you important legal things including copyright issues, how to know if you have permission to use pictures and video, or how to obtain that permission if needed. All vitally important in today’s content driven websites.

If you want a website that you can update on your own, that your customers and audience will understand, we can help. You may already have a website that’s due for an update, or maybe you’re just too busy to keep on trying to do it yourself any more and want to expand your abilities with our freelance services. Either way, drop us a line using this contact form, or simply pick up the telephone for a chat.
