Web Design

The bread and butter staple diet of our company is web design.  In the internet age, ensuring that your company has a strong and clear web presence is up there with making sure that sales know their products, and accountants know tax laws.  Not only does your site need to have a clear vision and objective, it also needs to be current.  After all, out of date websites give the wrong impression, and no company wants that stigma.

We offer web design in many different flavours in order to cater to our diverse client base.  Our sites can be as simple as a few pages of static HTML to a fully managed content rich site containing thousands of articles.

We offer the following web design services:

Static HTML - the backbone of most websites historically which offers easy editing for those with basic knowledge of web editing.  HTML is becoming more outdated nowadays due to the rise of other more structured web technologies such as content management systems. We will provide HTML designs but always advise clients that ongoing support of our designs requires some level of understanding of HTML editing in order to make their site look consistent.  Pricing for static HTML websites are available on request.

Flash - we recommend Flash based designs for sites that require high visual impact to their users.  Flash design costs can vary considerably depending on the complexity of the project.  If your budget is low and you require a site that is easily updateable, then we would probably recommend against Flash.  This is primarily because updating Flash files requires significant technical knowledge unless it is backed on to either a database or XML files that are read from.  Pricing for a Flash website starts at £250 + VAT.

CMS - the core of most of our current work involves content management systems, commonly referred to as CMS.  In today's climate, a CMS is of critical importance to any business that wants to provide a dynamic web presence with content that is kept up to date with a minimum of technical knowledge.  CMS are of particular use to organisations with multiple users as it allows for multiple people to update content allowing for a constantly updated stream of content.  Pricing for a CMS website starts at £500 + VAT

For the most part (assuming that your business has sufficient budget), we will recommend a CMS option for clients.  This is because it offers both flexibility to evolve with the needs of the client, along with easy of editing for those personnel who are looking to update the site after it has been designed.  We design sites to be easy to use, functional and easy to update.
