Website Design Overview

Make sure that your future customers can find you and find out about you!

Your website is the visible face of your company on the internet and represents your business to your current and potential customers in your local, national and international markets. Therefore, creating an effective website is one of the most important things you can do for your business.

First impressions count. Working with our key criteria of good design, ease of use and compelling content, we will work with you to create and maintain a professional website that is both functional and effective. We approach this development in the same way whether we are building a new website from scratch or taking your existing site and giving it the business focus you require.

Website design with your goals in mind

At the heart of every successful website design is a clear idea about what that website is intended to achieve. For many businesses, their website is like a shop window – telling people what you do, what they can buy or learn from you and how they should make contact with you.

For others, it is the opportunity to enhance certain aspects of their business by adding an ecommerce element for online sales, enhancing their support function through an information repository and discussion forum or helping their customer relationship management by strengthening their service offering.

Whatever, you want your website to achieve, we believe that to be successful it must also be well designed - a good rule of thumb is that a well designed website is one that is easy to use, appeals to the visitors you wish to attract and encourages them to return. And since your goals will develop and change, we make sure that it is built to be able to develop with you in the future, whatever direction your business takes.

Website Design from a business perspective

Every business will require something different from their website. Websites can take many forms from a one page shop window to back up your offline marketing in the local directories or an online brochure outlining your main products or services, through to an all singing all dancing eCommerce website.

Whatever you require, we ensure that the website reflects your company and goals through its substance and design. It also needs to be accessible to all of your potential customers in terms of the technology it uses and the speed it downloads. For this reason, we are careful about how the website is constructed and do not incorporate Flash elements for their own sake, but rather when appropriate to emphasise an important business focused point.

Above all, your website is a superlative communications tool at all levels. Not only does it communicate through what it says but also in the way that it displays the information and presents your business. You will therefore want it to be inviting, interesting, and informative but with a clear message throughout that your company is the one that prospective customers should be doing business with!

Legal Requirements

There are also legal elements that need to be borne in mind when building and running a website. These will include a Terms and Conditions of Use of the website together with a Privacy Policy outlining your company's position with regard to the information it may collect or use from visitors to your website. These are important elements which should not be ignored and so we ensure that your business is covered with respect to these areas.
