Custom Web Design

The vast majority of UK companies have a web site of some sort, as it is an essential tool for providing information about their area of business, products &c. A good web site is no longer an option for a business, it is expected. We help our customers to achieve the extra functionality that is still so rare, like online catalogues and accessible design. We can integrate your web site with your other systems, meaning that your site will always be up to date. Our custom sites are hand-coded with a view to standards compliance, a process which pays dividends in search engine rankings.

Our Design Approach

There are many ways in which web sites can be produced, but most are developed using authoring software from companies like Microsoft®, Adobe® and Macromedia®. It is possible to achieve sites that look good using these programs, but they have shortcomings in how well they can be indexed by search engines, how easily they can be navigated, and how well they will scale as requirements change. Our approach is to look at web sites from a functional perspective. We are interested in what a site tells the user, how easily it can be navigated, and how well it gets the corporate message across. We specialise in clear, simple design with good use of colour and sparing use of flashy multimedia. We are continually updating sites to XHTML and CSS, which allows changes to the site's content and style separately, saving time and money.
