Brilliant Website Design

SITES WE BUILD

Our talented team of designers and programmers build a variety of websites. We make every effort to understand your brief before proposing a specific type of website design. Here are some of sites we construct:

Content management systems

A content management system (CMS) website allows you to update it yourself. This gives you greater control and saves you from paying for regular updates to your website.

Our preferred CMS platform is WordPress. We like it for a variety of reasons but a few core benefits stand out. WordPress is brilliant for SEO (search engine optimisation) – even Google say so themselves. This means when we build a website it is set up to perform well on search engines and therefore likely to attract visitors.

WordPress is also extremely user friendly. Originally created for people to use as a blogging platform - it is easy to use and is set up for you to add content/new pages quickly.

And finally we love WordPress because it is constantly updated by a thriving community of developers. We all contribute to WordPress to ensure that as a CMS it stays up to speed with the ever changing demands of website design and SEO.

Mobile websites

With the development in smart phones and the birth of the tablet PC a large proportion of internet traffic is moving towards hand held devices.

With a dedicated team of mobile website designers we ensure visitors using a device such as an iPhone or iPad have a great experience.

We build mobile websites that do not compromise on production values and allow a visitor to access the critical areas of your site in a user friendly fashion.

E-Commerce websites

Our E-commerce websites are all built in a bespoke fashion dependent upon your needs. We listen to you and make sure we deliver a website that looks brilliant and delivers a profitable platform for your business.

Our E-commerce website designs also benefit from our search engine optimisation experience. For an E-commerce website to succeed it needs to attract the right audience. So we research your market and apply cutting edge SEO techniques to help you succeed on search engines.

Microsites

We design brilliant micro websites for clients that require a presence online for a specific promotion or business issue. Examples of why you might build a microsite include dealing with a PR issue (such as a product recall) with a dedicated site or a product launch that deserves its own unique site (such as a one off exhibition).

Our microsites benefit from great design, ground breaking programming and the input of our SEO consultants.

Blogs

We create blogging websites that can easily be integrated to an existing website or act as a stand-alone site.

Websites need good fresh content on a regular basis to help with their rankings on search engines. Blogs facilitate this and then capitalise on the growing influence of social media. The right blog will help you communicate on a regular basis with your audience and then allow them to share it via social media.

Website design with SEO

All of our websites are designed with search engine optimisation (SEO) in mind. We see your website as your shop front and want to cultivate visitors to it. We therefore employ a team of SEO engineers who help your site perform well on search engines. Experienced SEO web designers with focus on the likes of Google.

OUR APPROACH

Our starting point is to talk to you.

We want to understand your business and the challenges you face. Once we fully comprehend your business, its brand values and the image you wish to portray we are in a solid position to work with you.

Our approach to website design is to reach a compromise between creative and practical values. We deliver sites with innovative design values that accurately reflect your brand whilst being practical in their use. This approach means our websites have brilliant aesthetic qualities, will attract the right audience and then are likely to turn them into a paying customer.

OUR PROCESS

We have a proven refined process that ensures we deliver the site you want on schedule.

Our process allows you to gain unrivalled access to our work and to understand exactly what stage of the build we are on at any given time.

Once working on a website design project we undertake the following process stages:

The Concept

We provide you with our start date and project manager. Once started we quickly move towards creating concepts for the most integral elements of the build. At this stage we debate a multitude of design concepts with you before settling on our chosen path.

The Construction

When we agree upon the design concept the next phase is to construct it. We provide you with an estimate on how long this will take. Once the website is built we provide access to you via a test area.

Testing

Once we have built the site we test to make sure it is fully functional and compatible in a variety of browsers.

Amendments

Once your site has been constructed we will send you a link to a test area. This part of the process has the following two stages:

Stage 1 - You list the amendments required, supply them via email and we carry out the work.

Stage 2 - You re-visit the site and carry out a final audit providing any further amendments required.

Once we have completed Stage 2 we will deem the site ready for launch and will request any outstanding payment before launching.

Training

If the website allows you to update it or requires any regular input/maintenance from you we will provide full training. This will make sure you receive a website you are comfortable with and can train other team members to use it.

Sign Off and Launch

When you sign the site off we manage the launch process for you. We use our search engine optimisation experience to make sure your site has heightened visibility on all major search engines.

Support

We are passionate about our work and want you to feel supported during and after our involvement. Once the site has launched we provide technical support during the initial launch week to give you peace of mind.
