Website Design and Development
In today’s world, having a website is “the price of entry” for doing business. But what makes a good web site? Where do you start if you don’t have one? How do you know whether yours is maximising the opportunity to reach, engage with, and convert and sell to customers, and compete effectively with competitors?
We like to think of the web as an online landscape, understanding that for the uninitiated or inexperienced, it can be a confusing, even frightening maze. And in this online world, you don’t just need to navigate the geography and survive the crowd; you need to stand out from the crowd. So we start with business strategy, and brand definition; an articulation of who you are, and where you want to be. Then the task is to translate those best practice marketing principles into a compelling digital presence that brings your business value proposition to life, using the most appropriate technological tools and applications available. And when you’re ready to kick off, we’ll ensure you are aware of and have considered all the “tricks of the trade”.
The journey is both exciting and daunting. So it makes sense to offer three levels of web design and development, so you can choose how much you want to do “hands on” and how much you want us to do for you, depending upon your interest, skills and capabilities (and available time, of course!)
As a Full Service offering, we can take on the complete design and development of a bespoke website tailored to your business. One that reflects your brand, provides the interactivity you require, and creates the kind of experience you want your web site visitors - whether customers, suppliers, partners or prospects – to enjoy and remember. We’ll work with you to ensure there is a clear vision of what you want to accomplish, and write a requirements specification document to set out a timeline and make sure there are no “grey areas” in terms of exactly what you’ll get.
We approach web design from an integrated perspective. This means bringing to bear best practice communications principles, and ensuring that the web site fits in with the look and feel and messaging of all your marketing materials, and is true to the brand and strategy.
And while you’re thinking about all this, consider: Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) is only about one thing - results. But did you know, there are really two elements to SEO: a technical part, and a marketing component? While it’s the latter that is commonly understood as SEO, to some great degree it’s the technical work that goes into a web design that can make all the difference in setting you apart from your competitors in search engine rankings. We offer SEO as a value added service, which can be purchased on an hourly or project basis if you choose to have a bespoke website designed.
