Website Development and Applications

The Design Process

No matter what kind of site you are looking for, we can help. From a few simple information pages to fully functional e-commerce solutions, we are here to assist you. We don’t just limit our web sites to 4 pages with 6 images, or 10 pages and 50 products for sale; we look at your requirements and give you the best solution for your needs.

Surveys have shown that most small business and organisations do not yet have web sites. Putting your business or organisation on the web puts you a step above the rest.

There are several issues and points to consider when planning a website:-

Image

The Internet provides equal access to its users; whether you are a small business or a large corporation. Everyone gets the same amount of screen space, and the most important factor is the image you project with your web site. A well designed web site costing a few hundred pounds can make a better impression than a poorly designed web site costing thousands.

Marketing

When compared to the costs associated with traditional advertising methods such as direct mail, newspaper or magazine advertisements, or radio and television media exposure, the cost of a web site is nominal.

Customer Service

Your web site is a great place to publish your own list of "Frequently Asked Questions", or even the rarely asked ones. Well thought-out questionnaires giving detailed answers, with as much information as you like, and exactly the way you'd like it stated, can provide your customers with immediate help with their questions, as well as provide customer service staff with a reference tool.

Sales

Setting up an e-commerce site has never been easier. Allowing your customers access to browse and buy your products online, gives your sales a boost with no direct involvement from you. With a web site, your products, services and information become available to anyone with Internet access 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Networking

The Internet makes business-to-business (B2B) networking as easy as clicking on a link, and your web site serves as your "business card" to introduce yourself to people around the world.

The interactivity of an "Intranet" also offers great opportunities for user networking. Hosting a discussion board where visitors can post and reply to comments and questions can be a great way to generate interest in your web site and your organisation.

Why not contact us to discuss your requirements? We will help you evaluate what type of web site would best support the objectives of your business or organisation. We will then provide you with a comprehensive proposal document, which outlines the basic content, layout and navigation of the site.
