Creative web design and web development

Slick web design and web development, whatever the budget

We have been designing and building websites since the early ’90s and fully understand that every project has its own unique challenges and opportunities. That’s why, over the years, we have built up a formidable team of partner companies to help us execute the most challenging of briefs to the very highest quality.

We offer a wide range of W3C compliant web services from single page sites to complex brochureware sites with CMS integration as standard, as well as fully functional e-commerce stores and a stand alone design direction service.

Our core web design and web development services include

CMS websites (with SilverStripe CMS)

We build beautiful, standards-compliant websites for small to medium sized businesses with the support of the powerful and expendable SilverStripe CMS. SilverStripe enables us to offer our clients leading edge functionality at extremely competitive prices (read more).

NB. As of July 09 we no longer support IE 6. Whilst every effort is made for the websites we build to be operational in IE6, we have made the decision that  full IE6 support is holding back on functionality and design for the vast majority of users so there may be slight structural variation when viewing using IE 6. We are happy to offer full IE 6 support as an additional tailored service, please specify on enquiry.

Design direction

This service is aimed at clients who are happy with their current developers but are seeking to outsource the creative (read more).

Agency support

Over recent years we have worked closely with a number of other design agencies who benefit from our design led approach to web design and web development – we talk their language and obsession for detail. We are often called in to help with overflow or to offer fresh input from a skill base which is not available in-house. In these circumstances we are happy to work on a wholesale pricing structure and act as a 'white label' resource. 

Design refresh

We often get approached by clients who have recently spent a fair budget on a new website but are not seeing any return. With a little creative TLC with the stylesheets (CSS) we can transform the look and feel, helping to make it hard-working at minimal cost.

Bespoke functionality to enhance your existing website

Coupled with our strength in effective design, we have wide-ranging partners to help us in the development of bespoke functionality from 'store finders' to bespoke ordering facilities.

Website migrations

If you have an existing website that is under performing we can step in and help. This could be advising on a strategy to update certain aspects of your existing website, or alternatively we can migrate your site over to a more effective platform.

Ecommerce

All ecommerce briefs are different and require their own solution. Over the years we have used a number of different shopping cart systems from 'Miva Merchant' for larger websites to 'SweetCMS' for more bespoke applications. Get in touch today with details of your requirements and let us help you develop on the platform that's best for your business.

SEO (Search Engine Optimisation)

A crucial part of any web project we undertake. Our preferred CMS (SilverStripe) has an excellent foundation for quality organic search listings. As well as implementing the correct technical requirements for SEO, we also advice our clients on the equally most important aspect - their content.
