Site design & production
See our Portfolio pages for examples of our work and judge for yourself the quality of electronic publishing and software development.

The image created by your web site will influence the confidence your potential customers will have in your business. We will discuss your business needs and create a design approach to match those needs.

All the visual elements of the site design should balance and give the right impression of your business. Creative design enhances the user experience and provides a distinctive house style that people remember and associate with your services or products.

There are a large range of options with regard to web space and hosts depending on the nature of your web site. We will find the most cost-effective solution.

We offer our own web hosting which allows us to provide you with the best solution for your web needs. Contact us for more details.
 
ASP/ASP.net/PHP
Interactivity and customisation are becoming expected features of quality business web sites. Our Active Server Pages, PHP and ColdFusion scripted sites illustrate the potential for interaction that provides an attractive environment in which your customers will feel at ease and obtain the information they require quickly.

E-commerce sites using 'shopping baskets' and user accounts require the use of server based programming such as ASP/ASP.net/PHP.
 
E-business integration
To finalise a sale your web site must be capable of taking orders and sending the details for processing while keeping your customer fully informed about the status of the purchase or services requested.

We will ensure that your web site provides a secure, trusted, and efficient environment for ordering and payment. We will also work with you to establish the necessary order processing procedures within the current business structure - or advise on changes to your business to ensure the rapid and reliable response that web customers expect.
 
Flash animation
Animation may be used as an image building 'front-end' to your web site, or as an effective information tools to illustrate your product or service in a way that catches and holds the attention of potential customers.

The attention span of web users is notoriously short, and the use of animation will help to keep your customer viewing your product or service.
 
Document conversion
Differing formats make exchanging information between sections of your business and utilising that information on the web difficult and labour intensive.

We have many years experience in dealing with information from a wide range of electronic formats. We will survey your existing information formats and advise you on the most effective means of managing the information.
 
Software Development
Using Visual Basic 6 we are able to create effective Windows based applications that give access to and organise your data.

Applications may be distributed on CDROM to your customers for use in searching catalogues and preparing orders.

Regular data updates may be downloaded from your web site and integrated into the application.
 
Domain name setup
Your domain name is your 'address' on the web. It is important to get the right name. We will search for a selection of domain names and advise you on the most suitable. We will then register your selected name/s.
