Website Design

Your website is only as useful as the leads and sales it brings in. We know, we're in business too. A good website can be at the heart of a company's advertising, adding to all of your additional advertising by simply featuring your web address and driving customers looking for your service or product through to you and your sales team.

After all people are more likely to remember a name or web address at a glance than they are a phone number.
We offer a number of different solutions when it comes to getting your company on the web and we are dedicated to providing our clients with the right advice as to which solution will work best for them.
Your business may only require a small brochure style website in order to showcase your products or you may need a site which allows you to constantly change its content. Whatever the type or size of your business we will be able to advise on what will work best for you as a company.

Your website can include these features...

Google Maps

We will list your business and website on Google Maps to in order to maximise the exposure your business receives on local searches. We can also embed a Google Map on your website in order to make it easier for your customers to find their way to your business.

Content Management

Our sites come with a CMS (content management system) which allows non-technical users to edit site content rapidly and easily.
They are based on technologies (Linux, Apache, MySQL and PHP) that drive some of the biggest sites in the world such as Wikipedia and Yahoo! Our products are designed to work seamlessly with Google Analytics so you can capture priceless information as visitors interact with your site.
You can easily use online marketing with companies like Google and Yahoo! to drive targeted traffic to your site and turn that into leads and business. And our sites are standards-based and easily expandable, minimising the likelihood of growing pains in the future.

Google Analytics

Also unlike traditional forms of advertising, the return on your investment through all forms of online marketing, including search engine marketing, is 100% trackable. We can tell you exactly how many visitors are coming to your site. We work closely with google analytics and AdWords to give our clients a comprehensive breakdown of their websites traffic. Not only can we tell you how many visitors the site has per month/day/hour but we can also tell you what they looked at on your site, how long they stayed and where they found your website, along with much more information. Used properly this information can help you focus your on-line marketing and make the most of your website potential.

Website Blog

Keep your website current and your customers coming back by publishing a blog on your website and sharing your thoughts with the world wide web. We can set up to Blog so that your readers can comment on your posts as well as share them on their social networking site of choice at the click of a button. 

Social Media

Integrating your website with a social networking site like Facebook or Twitter can be a great way to raise awareness of your business and encourage people to keep track of what you're doing with ease. 

Slick Image Gallery's and Effects

If you want to push to boat out on the appearance of your website we can enhance the look and feel of your website by adding in some moving images or interactive galleries to your website in order to give your customers that wow factor!

News Feeds

We can show feeds on your website from big news sites like the BBC and CNN in order to keep your customers up to date on the latest news relevant to your industry. This keeps your customers informed and your website recent.

Flash

If you want an animated website then Flash is the way to go, we can develop a full flash website for you, or we can simply use flash elements in a standard website.
