Production
Our websites are produced with
a clear focus on what you need your site to do for
you. For example, your website could be.....
- an advertisement
- to give people information
- a shop
- a means of interacting with your clients
- to advertise job vacancies
- to reach UK customers
- to reach international customers
- to expand your markets
- ..............
More than likely you will need a combination of these, but each one requires a different approach and style of site.
Before starting work, we will discuss all these issues with you and produce a detailed specification with estimated costs and timescales.
Producing a site is only the start. How often have you looked for information on the Internet only to find that it is out of date?
To keep your site current we:-
- let you know when new Internet applications are launched and advise you if they could enhance the objectives of your site
- give you direct on-line access to your site statistics so that you can monitor how your site is performing
- send you an annual summary of your site's performance together with suggestions for developments over the following year
We supply full site hosting including:-
- registering your domain name (i.e. www.yourname.com)
- POP3 (normal) email and mail forwarding
- site statistics
Note that we do not provide Internet access, however we can recommend reliable access providers.
Large volumes of text
Large volumes of text can provide a particular problem for web site developers. Our unique program and database developed for this purpose gives you a high degree of accuracy and automatic indexing so that documents are easy to locate. For and example of this program in action, see the Independent Schools Inspectorate site.
Photographs and Pictures
Everyone using the Internet has experienced the frustrating delay of waiting for pictures to appear, only to find (if they haven't already given up) that the quality is grainy or the colours are all wrong. Through experience, we know just how to balance the trade off between time and quality to ensure that you pictures look good, but fast, to your potential customers thus retaining their attention.
Schools
We have a thorough understanding of the opportunities for schools and educational establishments through our work with the Independent Schools Inspectorate and through many years working in the education sector. We are also developing a portfolio of school websites, for example see Heatherton House School.
Charities/Museums
Charities have a range of requirements from letting people know what they do, to raising funds and attracting visitors to any attractions. Working with the Royal Navy Submarine Museum we are successfully achieving both these aims.
