Website Design and Development
We could say we have developed lots of business websites (and it would be true).
And we could say we understand "exactly what you want" but we don't want to presume we know your business like you know it.
Or we could say we have "extensive" technology experience but we don't want to sound like we have a big head (we don't).
So lets just say - call us and lets discuss your website design project. You'll know if we are the match for you.
Now let's explore what we can do for your business.
We plan, develop, build and support content management system (CMS) based websites (to make it easier for you to manage!).
Using a CMS there is a broad range of pre-developed functionality available to meet almost every need, lowering the cost of deployment to you. And if the functionality doesn't already exist - we can build it for you!
Before we decide on a technology, we first we need to understand your business requirements. This will ensure the technology we select will be the right one for your business - not the one that suits us to develop your site upon.
We specialise in development of both Joomla and WordPress based websites.
WordPress is a simple, easy-to-use website platform that usually suits small businesses or simple requirements.
On the other hand, we tend to recommend Joomla, an open source CMS, for more advanced requirements or larger businesses. We recommend Joomla because:
- It is very flexible
- It is relatively easy to manage
- Has thousands of developers working on improving it & developing new functionality every day
- Can be extended to include new functionality relatively easily
- Your business isn't locked into a proprietary system - which means the developer owns the code and controls your website destiny
Design is one of the most important elements of developing a new website for your business. Not only should it look good, but it should be easy to navigate and read, reinforce your company branding, engage visitors and meet your online business goals - whether that be to generate leads, showcase your products and service or to increase online sales.
But what if you are a small business with a small budget? We have developed a set of small business website development packages.
Imagine it and we can probably do it! However typical website functionality usually includes at least a couple of the following areas:
- Varied content management e.g. news, articles, press releases
- Blogs and comments
- Polls
- Links
- Contact and site map pages
- Social media integration
- User authentication
- RSS feeds
- Customised online forms
- Document library
- FAQs
- Events and activities
- Forums
- Interactive Maps
- eCommerce and online shopping
- Built-in Social Network including walls, personal profiles, photos and videos
- Membership systems
- Online Training
- CRM integration
- Plus almost anything else you can think of!
