Web design is about more than just making your site look nice. All our designers have experience and training in user experience design as well as coding to make sure that your design flies in real life as well as it does in the presentation. We have more than ten years’ experience of designing successful websites and we will work with you to produce the best design for your organisation, and your customers.
Whether you want to refresh the design of an existing site or need a completely new, rebranded site, we will work with you to establish a look, feel and style that’s right for your organisation. When we design your website, we always have its intended visitors in mind – what they want to see, how they will use the site, and how we can appeal to them.
Website design is about much more than creating an appealing site with attractive colours. The design needs to work on multiple devices, from old smartphones to the latest desktop computers. It has to support multiple browser versions. The typography must be readable, the user interface consistent and intuitive, and the site must be accessible to all users. The design has to work with your content management system too, and should allow for maximum search engine optimisation.
But you can leave all that to us. Our designers work closely with our website developers who build the site, so that everything fits together to create an eye-catching, versatile and easy-to-use site that functions beautifully for humans, as well as for search engines. The web is always evolving and we make it our business to keep up-to-date with the latest developments to ensure your site always reaches its audience.
We build custom-designed websites using WordPress, an industry-leading, open-source content management system. WordPress provides easy control over the content on your site, and a well-supported platform that is secure, versatile and future-proof.
If you have a business process that could be better done, or only done, on the web, our developers can create a bespoke web application just for you. No project is too big or too unusual!
Ranking highly on Google is crucial if visitors are to find your website. It can be challenging for a new site to find its way to page one of a Google search, especially in a competitive market. Google Ads gives you a shortcut to the top. Instant results from day one.
Your website will only be successful if people can find it. Search engine optimisation is the technique we use to improve your ranking in Google and other search engines – helping your website to reach its target audience.
Website copywriting must create content that works for search engines and humans To be successful and effective, website content must satisfy the demands of its two most important audiences: your customers and search engines.
When you want to keep your customers, clients or members up-to-date, informed and in touch with your organisation, email newsletters are a fast, effective and versatile communications tool.
We offer a range of fast and reliable web hosting services that will keep your website running quickly and securely.
