We provide websites based either on a unique design by ourselves, or a design provided by the customer. We can take any design that has been draughted by professional graphic artists and convert that into a clean standards compliant web design based on xhtml and css. Of course these days there is not only a need but now an expectation to be able to update the websites content by the site owner. Therefore we incorporate a CMS (content management system) within the design to allow an authorized user to apply changes to the website themselves. Adding / editing pages, uploaded images and files, can all be done through a simple to use WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) editor similar in feel to Microsoft Word.
You may have the need for some custom programming for a single website or as part of a larger project, if this is the case we can help with the following: PHP, ASP, AJAX, MYSQL, SQL, CGI scripts, Javascript, XML, DHTML. For specific quotes please get in touch.
You may have already registered your required domain, however if you haven't we can take care of the formalities for you and link it in quickly with our web hosting packages. Prices vary but are typically £10 p/a for a .co.uk and £15 p/a for a .com with a minimum period of two years.
Get this wrong, and you could find you have a website that frequently vanishes into cyber space, looses your email, and even opens up security vulnerabilities. Cheap is definitely not good when it comes to hosting. As web hosting re-sellers we have tried many different hosts in our time and we are extremely picky over who we purchase wholesale webspace from. Many providers over sell ramming their servers with as many sites as possible hoping that customers wont use to much resources. "Unlimited" offers are, in our experience, definitely one to avoid, and are never actually unlimited.
Our standard web hosting package for websites is competitively priced and would be suitable for 90% of the websites. However if you do have the need for additional bandwidth and webspace then we can tailor a hosting solution to your exact needs. More details for web hosting.

We've all heard i-people spout that popular phrase, “whats the point in having a website if no-one can find it”and it can start to get annoying. However the truth is, the phrase is spot on. Building a website is not enough, traffic is simply not just going to start pouring in, and with more and more website jostling for the top positions, Search engine optimisation (SEO) is now more important than ever, in fact its crucial. We can guide you through the steps to help increase site traffic and hopefully subsequent sales through your website, by implementing strategies that we have tried and tested on our own sites. Do not be fooled by those who say they can 'Guarantee' first page placements, they're only after one thing, and even Google state that they cant guarantee inclusion into their databases.
