web design & build

This is one of the main reasons you're here after all. Well, that's what we do best. Two of the most important aspects of creating a website is the arty part (design) and the techie part (development).

we make websites

design - the arty part

This is the first thing people notice about your site - the 'look and feel'. Things like colours, forms, shapes, images, styles, fonts and typography. It all combines (or should do!) to provide a unique style that aligns your website and your business. Often following some sort of brand guidelines, your website should be instantly recognisable as part of your business.

Our designers will research and endeavour to understand you and your business before designing, to ensure the final visuals of your site are right for your business and audience. Oh yes, we'll also make sure it looks great too!

We also build in usability and accessibility into our designs too. This means things like adequate colour contrasts, highlighting elements of the page that should be highlighted, using layout to direct visitors through your site, and more.

development - the techie part

technical build quality Development is where the designs we produce are actually built into a functional web page. This includes simple things like slicing up images to create banners and buttons, to building online contact forms and so on.

Our development team code with standards compliant CSS, HTML and Javascript. By using industry recognised standards in coding, we can ensure that no matter which browser your customers use, your site will look as it should. It will also mean the code is cleaner, which enhances both Search Engine Optimisation and accessibility.

So what kind of functionality can you put on your website? Things like:

- online contact forms
- online ordering
- content management systems
- visitor statistics
- polls
- newsletter signup
- photo galleries
- secure areas requiring login
- user commenting
- file downloads
- and much more ...
