Web Design
We consider web design to encompass much more than just the visual front-end. We start every project by finding out about your website, how you propose to use it and who's likely to visit. This gives us a basic structure to work from and tells us what a basic site page template might contain - the navigation options, the logo, footer text etc.
Databases
Depending on the size of your site, you may well be better off using databases to organise your content. With a database, you can use and re-use elements of your content in different areas of your website. You can archive old content and tailor content for each individual visitor. Databases are what turns a website from a static set of information pages into an interactive experience, which all helps to engage your visitors.
Design
Once we know what your website will be used for and how the content will be managed and structured, then we start work on the look-and-feel of the website. Again, this doesn't just start and stop with the graphics. We can work with existing style guides and branding or help you develop a new online presence from scratch. We think about colour schemes, fonts and the visual journey taken through each page to ensure maximum usability and interest.
Management
As detailed in our page on Intranets, last but not least, we build a secure administration area for you to manage the content of your website and any databases that your site uses. We are dedicated to ensuring the back-end is as simple, intuitive and usable as the front-end so that the vital job of keeping your website up-to-date is a painless and quick one.
