Website Design & Development

website-designWebsites have become an essential part of business these days, but if not set up correctly they can become a huge drain on resources, either in time of an employee or an expensive outsourced team keeping the site up to date.

For a number of years now we have been developing sites for customers on the popular publishing platform WordPress, which started out as a blogging tool but is now very capable of being used as a Website Content Management System. Once set up anyone (with permission to the admin area) can update the site as long as they are capable of filling in a form online! It really is very simple … and you can get some really great sites built with WordPress, have a look at these sites we have designed and/or developed on WordPress for our clients: Red-M, Finn Developments, Horsham Matters, The Mary Kitzinger Trust, Redmak Architects, Storrington Community Website, and of course our own website runs on WordPress.

Specifically our website design and development skill-set includes

  • Website Markup – Valid HTML / CSS site designs
  • Adobe Flash – we don’t generally recommend building complete sites with Flash; however, used in the right way either for a menu system, sliding animations or similar Adobe Flash can really enhance a website and draw the interest of visitors very quickly.
  • WordPress Unique Template Design – although there are thousands of freely available templates available for WordPress, we offer a design service so your site looks unique!
  • PHP & MySQL – site development
  • Ecommerce – custom designed or an implementation of a tool like oscommerce, depending on what best suits the requirements
  • Blogs/Content Management Systems (CMS) – we highly recommend WordPress for this as it is free, easy to use and in our opinion the best platform available.
  • SEO – Search Engine Optimisation, improve the ranking of your site on the search engines like Google. We work closely with the UK’s leading Search Engine Optimisation companies to ensure you get a complete and excellent service.
  • Google Adwords Campaigns – if you have a budget for Google Adwords but need some direction on setting this up then we can help with this.
