Taking websites beyond design……

Design
A unique and creative design approach for every project. By developing an understanding of the needs of the client and their target market we develop designs that protect and enhance their brand identity.

Cross browser
All sites are coded to W3C standards and are cross browser compliant so whether the customer is using Firefox, Internet Explorer, Chrome or Safari they will experience the same functionality, usability and design experience.

Responsive
With the increase in smartphone and tablet usage your site must respond to varying screen resolutions. Responsive design optimises the design, structure and layout of your website to ensure a great user experience regardless of the screen size.

Functionality
Can the user find the information they need and carry out the task they want? Good functionality is a combination of many factors including navigation structure, page layout, menu style, font style and colour. Combined with a great aesthetic design you get a site that delivers on both looks and actions.

Shopping Cart Integration
From a single product to a catalogue of many thousands we can develop an e-commerce solution that meets your needs. Stock control, special offer codes, order tracking and management and integration with Paypal, Sagepay and other payment gateways are just a few of the options available.

CMS / Blog integration
Google advice is ‘webmasters can improve the rank of their site by creating high-quality sites that users will want to use and share.’ Our Content Management Systems and blog platforms allow the client to develop their website into a valuable content resource for users through simple, easy to use interfaces.
