Development

The internet is now the primary method of research so a presence on the web goes without saying. Clients who have been personally recommended will seek the reassurance of a credible and useful online presence.

Your website is open 24/7, so it needs to be well maintained, giving current and future customers the right impression. It should also be easy to maintain.

A simple staged process

We can create a number of web design concepts in line with your current identity for your selection and approval.

We use an open source Content Management System (CMS) which is secure and robust, customisable, allows for a strict hierarchical layout and above all easy to use. Once the CMS setup has been completed we can then begin to add in all the useful componenets such as Latest news, E-commerce, Members’ area, Forum and a Gallery.

We can supply a CMS ‘user guide’ which will include basic steps on how to update your website.

We can populate your website with content and imagery as supplied by you.

Accessibility issues

Accessibility is an important issue in web development, as it can have an affect on search engine ranking, user experience, and general usability. It is becoming an increasingly important aspect of web development, which is why the website elements would be built in XHTML ‘Transitional’ standard, to a level of compliance. All CSS would also be tested to comply with the W3C standards. For more information on W3C Accessibility standards, go to http://www.w3.org/WAI.

Google tools

We will incorporate tools offered by Google, which will improve the functionality of your website as well your websites position within the Google search engine, such as Google Maps and Google Analytics.
