How We Work
Depending on requirements and budget, the first step is normally to decide on the "look and feel" of your web site. We will discuss web designs, colour options and ask you what you would like from a web site. Whether you already have a web design in mind, or require us to produce something new, a web site is only a phone call away (Call us on 0845 224 7089)!
Once you are happy with the web site design, the next step is to decide on the structure of your site. Many web designs are based on the standard pages: home, about us, contact us, services, products and customer recommendations. There are a number of pages we may recommend having, including: site map, terms and conditions, privacy, email updates and links.
The size of your site will also determine the level of documentation that we provide. For the large business sites we will produced a detailed proposal, for smaller sites a summary document is all that may be required.
Why have a web site?
A web site is a great way of attracting new customers and really useful for your existing customer base whether you supply a product or a service. There's loads of useful information we can put on a web site, including where to find you, how to contact you, the products and services you have on offer, and it only costs £7 to have your own domain name.
Although having a web site is not a "must have", customers for almost any business of any size expect a web site in this day and age. However, a poor web design will put customer off rather than attracting them. Furthermore, a web site that cannot be found by your customers is of little use.

Attracting customers to your web site
Most of your customers are searching for your products and services through search engines like Google. In our experience, unless you are on the first page of the SERPs (Search Engine Results Page) for the right keywords, it is unlikely that potential customers will find your web site and purchase from you.
This is why we are not only experts in web design solutions but we also provide Search Engine Optimisation services, which is another word for getting your website ranked well on search engines like Google, Yahoo and MSN.
Your web site needs a number of key elements to feature on the top positions on search engines. Although we quote separately to improve the ranking of a web site, no web site leaves our offices without at least the basic elements of Search Engine Optimisation built into the web design.
