Website Design

Despite the popularity of the internet, there are many companies who have yet to launch a website. For various reasons, these companies are holding back until they decide what to put on-line, or how to go about doing it. We are able to help make the first steps easy!

Start small and grow over time

It is not essential to create a 1,000 page website with bells and whistles in your first attempt! It should be a constant work in progress, refining as you go, addressing the needs of your customers by delivering the information and facilities they need. Most companies tend to start with a small marketing website to guage customer interest. A simple website can be professionally presented, including your company colours, logo, branding and can include the relevant information that you need to display.

The service we provide

In an ideal world, we are provided with a statement of requirements which outlines the main objectives you have and facilities you require. In reality, SOR's are rarely provided and in this situation we will liase with you to understand your business, it's offerings, aims and objectives before making suggestions on how to proceed.

Once objectives are realised, we put forward our proposals based on our understanding of the project in order to obtain sign-off at which point the development cycle begins.

Our UK based designers provide the following web design skills

1. Creative Design (Illustrator, Photoshop. Fireworks, Freehand, Gimp)
2. Web Coding Language (HTML, XML, CSS, PHP)
3. Databases (MySQL)
4. Third Party Systems (various applications according to the spec)

Realise the potential

Within a short time frame of your website being launched, natural listings within the search engines will occur. The common question we get is 'where will i appear and will i be top' . This depends on many factors, mainly the content you enter and the text / keywords you use within the CMS system. We offer advise throughout the project and after, to assist you with making the most of the tools provided to you as standard.

Natural listings in the search engines (mainly google) is very important, but there are additional ways to generate traffic for your website. PPC (pay per click) is a common form of generating traffic and we can offer free advise on how to utilise the most common systems to help achieve the level of traffic you need.

Search engine optimisation

As standard, we provide SEO (search engine optimised) websites. Many companies out there seem to offer a website solution but exclude the coding required for a website to be indexed by the search engines. The reason for this is simple, it's an extra form of generating an income. Many design firms will sell you a website and then sell you a search engine optimisation service which effectively means they are completing the job they failed to do in the first place. All websites created by W.E.B.S Ltd are SEO (search engine optimised) as standard.
