Website Updates & Makeovers
[01]
New Look
Fashions change, technology improves and psychologists learn more about how our minds work. All this means that web sites more than a couple of years old may perform less well than the current generation. A website makeover can pay for itself by being more attractive both to search engines and human visitors.

New Technology
Current XHTML & CSS technology makes websites easier to maintain and update while new techniques like AJAX makes interractive sites as responsive as programs actually running on your computer. A makeover lets you update more than just the appearance of your website

New Features
Now that so many are using webmail, contact forms are so much more accessible than email links. And they're a closed door to email address harvesting, which means less spam! Other possibilities include downloads with email capture, member login, guest books, forums, blogs, news pages, etc etc. We have a wide range of ready made and custom coded solutions.

Search Engines
Like everything else connected with web design, search engines have improved over the years and what was attractive to the search engines of a few years ago may not perform well today. Today's search engines try to look at your site as a human visitor does and are not fooled by many of the tricks web designers used to play on them!

Visitor Statistics
At Abbeydale we cringe when we see web pages proudly telling that they've received 25,000 hits. Since they were built? Abbeydale websites use Google Analytics to give you day by day, page by page statistics and can even tell you what your visitors typed into a search engine to find you!
