Website Design and CMS Explained

We don’t just design a website

Based in Colchester, we offer the whole marketing package, including free consultancy and advice, making sure you know why you want a site and how it will best work for you and your business.

Everything is dealt with ‘techy-free’ so you understand ‘why and what’ we are doing from day one.

We organise domain registration, hosting and search engine presence as standard.

Our design and marketing background ensures your business or organisations’ message is delivered in a professional and concise manner.

A websites’ basic role is to instil trust and prompt the user to contact, purchase or sign-up.

First impressions, client ‘usability’ and client positive response are paramount in all our designs.

Websites and promotion can be a minefield of technical jargon and wasted expense! We cut through that jargon to provide eye catching websites that work.

We offer comprehensive website design packages, please view some examples of our work in our portfolio.

Self Management – Content Management Systems (CMS) - Joomla

Easy to use Content management systems; add pages, change text, edit and add pictures, create links; it’s all at your fingertips.

If you have to make regular updates to your site then this may be the best option for you. We use a system that allows easy access for you to make any changes you require.

We also offer user platforms to allow various levels of access to your site. This gives the option for an overall manager of the site to verify changes before they are uploaded to the ‘live website’.

Website refresh

You may already have a website, but with top search engines, such as Google, updating their requirements frequently, it is important to regularly update your website in order to maintain your presence on the web.

We will review and give advice on how to refresh your website in order to generate a better return and get those phones ringing. It is important your website is easy to use, visually stimulating and encouraging client contact at all times.

Fully animated websites - Flash

We design full flash websites as well as incorporating flash & Javascript animation within your website build.

There are still a lot of flash websites on the web, and for those of you who have your marketing in place already (by that we mean successfully directing clients to your website through means other than SEO) then a flash website will allow you to be very creative with the design and the possibilities are endless.

If you are looking to get the best optimisation (i.e. your site is found by the search engines), we would advise you away from a full flash website, as search engines can’t find the content (key words & phrases) as easily as they can on a non flash website. This is why we suggest animation is built within the design rather than having a full flash website.
