our approach
Preliminary consultation
You never get a second chance to make a first impression – and that means your website must communicate all the right messages immediately. We therefore take the time to fully understand how you work, what specific functional requirements you have, what you are trying to achieve, and your target audience. We also take account of bandwidth restrictions, web browser compatibility, optimum usability, content structure, ease of updating, and search engine optimisation.
Initial designs
Once we have all your requirements pinned down we’ll start creating an outline design. Each day you’ll be able to see the progress we are making, and discuss with us any changes or refinements you’d like to see. We’ll also sort the registration or transfer of your chosen domain name, and set up your hosting and email accounts.
Website maintenance
Once your site goes live you’ll want to keep it updated as your business changes and your vision develops. We provide 3 options to make this easy for you:
- We manage the updates for you. Simply email us your changes and we can normally action them within 24 hours. Major changes to the site may take a little longer.
- We supply you with a copy of Macromedia Contribute so you can update the content and add pages as you wish.
- We set up a customised password protected admin area connected to a database. This costs slightly more than the Contribute option but it allows you to edit your site through any web browser from anywhere in the world.
