Our process of designing your web site

Every company is different and it is important for a web site design company to get a feel for your area of business. An initial meeting will help us to understand your business, products and services. This can be achieved in person depending on distance or through email and/or telephone conversation. Through this initial discussion, we can ascertain the type and style of web site that we believe would be most suitable for your company. Expansion is a factor that is very important to us at this stage, as the web site design needs to be flexible enough so that content can grow as your company grows.

Careful planning of your web site

We would provide a plan of the web site so that pages and content can be clearly identified at this early stage. If any sections will require updating, these are discussed with you and we will build a system into the design by either incorporating a database or template system. From this plan the web site, navigation will be constructed and areas that require content will become apparent.

Key term optimisation

Once we know your area of business, we carefully research the key terms that need to be included within your web site content. These words will help a person using a search engine to find your web site.

Refine

We make any changes to the plan that have been agreed and present an amended plan for final approval before the web site design layout is produced.

The build

Working to the agreed plan we will produce a working layout drawing of your web site homepage and navigation. Once the web site design layout has been agreed upon we will build the prototype site with working navigation. At this stage, the site will be accessible through a password-restricted area so that any problems that may arise can be amended quickly. We custom design all the layout graphics then build the web site using a combination of PHP, Flash, CGI, HTML, Java and MYSQL. You are consulted at every stage of the build process.

The content

The web site copy and images are added and only when you are happy the content is signed off as complete.

Going live

When complete the web site is signed off and then uploaded to the web space of your choice. We prefer web sites to be hosted on our server, as it is far quicker and easier to solve any issues that may arise. Please visit the web site hosting page for our competitive business hosting prices. If you have your own preferred hosting space, we will upload your web site and test the functionality completely to ensure all scripts are functioning correctly.

Refine and enhance

There may be an initial period of days after the web site goes live that you discover that some small additions/changes to text are needed. We will undertake these small changes quickly and at no extra charge.

Updates

The most successful web sites are those that have continually refined content. We can undertake updates to your web site or build systems into the web site design so that you may undertake updates yourself.

Support

If your web site is hosted with us, we provide free support by telephone and email for the life of the web site.

Search engine registration

In recent years, search engine registration has become increasingly more competitive with the majority of major engines charging businesses for this service. If you are serious about the marketing of your web site and your online market is saturated, you should allow in your budget for paid search engine marketing.

Prices vary between engines so it is best to contact us to discuss your marketing needs.
