| Overview |
| We design and develop web sites ranging from those that are simply a
“presence” on the Internet through to full data driven, interactive
web sites. |
| As part of our “one-stop-shop” approach we can also arrange
hosting for your site, as well as domain and database transfers. |
| So whether it's just a presence you need on the Web, or you need a database
that can be maintained online, or even an online shop, give us a call or drop
us an email. |
| Here are some of the sites we look after:- |

| Gallery |
| We've put together some examples of web site
designs - just click on the image or the link to the side. |
| Remember that these are just examples, and they're
not "templates". So if you see elements from each that you'd like to
incorporate into your site, it's no problem for us to pull them out and put it
all back together for you. |

 |
 |
| The Fitness Centre - this is an example of how a sports
centre or gym site might look |
Subtle -
demonstrates how subtle colours can convey your message and how "style
sheets" can control colours |
|
 |
 |
| Vertigo - interesting
popup navigation bar at the top! |
OS:Tech - quite a
"busy" design, but the pictures could be used as links to other pages
|
|
 |
 |

calm design |
Blu4U - bold and
information driven site |

of a 3-column layout |

company design, with interesting menu "rollovers" |

| Checklist |
| Here are some points you need to think about when you're
considering a new web site. |
| Hosting |
We can arrange hosting for you, but if you're already with a provider, and
you're happy with them, then we can build your site there. |
| Domain |
Do you already have a domain? If you do, then you need to find the
documentation so that we can either transfer it to our machines, or the User
and Password so that we can get onto the site to do the work. If you don't
already have a domain then you need to think about a name. Have a look at
Nominet to see if your name is
already registered. |
| Purpose |
What do you want the site for? Is it simply to establish a presence so that
people can find you? Do you want to sell your products online? Is it for
existing customers to see what you're up to or what events you are staging over
the next few weeks? |
| Image |
What sort of image are you trying to project? Professional, fun, academic,
child-friendly, technical, etc. Have a look online and see what your
competitors or partners are doing. Find some sites you like the look of to give
us an idea of the sort of image you'd like to project. |
| Content |
What do you need to put on the site? Have you got existing documents and
pictures that you'd like to display? What about logos, flyers, or adverts you
already have. Do you have a preference for certain colours in your
"branding". |
| |
Remember though that what works as a printed document doesn't always work
successfully online. You may need to think about how you can split the document
down into sections or pages. |
| |
Also digital images are better than scanned ones. |
| Position |
Do you need to be at the top of a Search Engine's list? If the purpose of
the site is to inform existing customers, then you don't need to be at the top
of the list. |
| Prices |
| Precise pricing depends on how you want the site to look,
numbers of pages you need, images we have to "manipulate", and so on.
|
| We can price in ways to suit your budget. So if, for example,
you'd rather have a lower starting price and a higher annual charge, then we're
happy to do it that way. |
| Typically a site would have the following pages: |
- Home
- Products/Services
- News/Events
- Links/Partners
- Contact Us
- About Us
