What is says on the tin: we're web designers: we create websites, we do it well, and we do it to W3C standards as you can see from the logos at the bottom of this page. We do a lot of other website related work too like domain names, hosting, email, search engine optimisation... but if you ask us to do your letterheads and business cards we'll outsource that (tho still in Yorkshire) to an associate company that does that well. Horses for courses!
Your website isn't finished until visitors arrive at your home page and SEO, search engine optimisation, is the technique that will get them there.
We'll build your website using search engine friendly techniques, make sure the right words appear in the right places, and help you build links from other sites too.
With our experience in software development we can make your website sing and dance as well as look good.
We use open source software, PHP, Javascript, Ajax etc. to build ecommerce sites, database driven sites and distributed software systems.
As well as designing your website we can organise domain names, email addresses and hosting (providing space on a webserver for your website or web application to live. We'll also look after domain renewal so you don't forget!
With over 25 years experience in software development and the last 10 of those years in web design we've got grey hair and a bit of common sense, rather than green hair and acne!
We don't get anal about fonts and won't throw a hissy fit if you don't like the first design we come up with. And we're happy to work to your designs rather than ours if that's what you want.
So many web design companies try to wrap up what they do for you in packages and schemes. We prefer to tell you just what we can do and how much it will cost. And we'll do our best to explain any technical concepts to you in layman's terms.
Please feel free to contact any of our website clients to ask them what they think of us. We're confident they'll encourage you to come to us with your website project too. A contact email address can generally be found on their websites. (Hint: try our portfolio section.)
The simplest type of website is an online brochure. It should look good, get your message across and be attractive to search engines too since that's where new customers will come from.
Selling goods and taking payments online is known as 'ecommerce' and demands a little more from your website than a plain brochure. We'll organise a shopping cart, payment processing and a way for you to update products and prices easily.
But you don't have to sell online to accept payments online. You can have a 'Pay Now' button to let clients pay you for pretty much anything whether sold online or not.
You don't have to have a whole new website to get a better search engine rank. We've achieved good results in the past just by slightly changing the text on web pages to make sure that the right words appear in the right places.
Technology moves on, search engines change their algorithms year by year, and even just changes in fashion mean that a website more than a couple of years old could probably benefit from a make-over.
Better looks, easier maintenance and better search engine results are all possible without having to re-write everything from scratch.
