There are some features common to every site we do, we don't think there's a point to having a site without them.

  1. Search engine optimisation - We work with you to capture the right keywords and phrases for your market in your website's content.  Then your website is submitted to all the major local and international search engines so visitors can find your website easily. 

    After the site has been up for three months, we use Google Analytics to see what keywords your customers are actually typing into the search engines, and tweak the site to further increase your rankings.  If you would like an ongoing more aggressive plan aiming at a "Top 5 Listing" for your keywords, we offer a more complete service.
  2. Unique designs - We will work with you and your existing image ( if you already have one ) to develop a site that suits you and your market.  The resulting variety can be seen in the examples on the home page. 

    You'll notice that everything from the structure of the pages (width, navigation types, etc) to the general look-and-feel changes from site to site - there are reasons for each and every design decision we make.  We keep our customers' best interests at heart at all times, and the sites we design are a reflection of the business they were created for.  Don't expect your new site to look like any of theirs as it will be tailored to your specific business' personality, industry, and end users.
  3. Focus on Useability - End user experience is what drives a good website - it has to be easy to navigate, intuitive to use and contain the content your clients are looking for.
  4. Well rounded experience - We have worked in a variety of industries from artists to health care professionals, from sports companies to car parts and accessories, and much more.  We can make a site that works for you.
  5. User centred approach - We work with you throughout the design and development process so you are fully aware of what's going on and can be fully involved in your web site.
  6. Attention to detail - Your website is often the first point of contact for new customers, it needs to look professional and present your company in the best light possible.
  7. You're in control - We provide you with a password controlled Content Management System (CMS) area to log in and update your site how you want to, when you want to, as much as you want to. Add new pages, update existing ones, and remove outdated ones - you can do it all. If you'd prefer we make changes for you, we can do it for you at an hourly rate.  This service is commonly used for photo editing, sweeping site-wide updates, regular tuneups for formatting and search engine optimization, and large database uploads, etc. 
  8. No hidden fees - Once we have quoted you, and you have accepted, nothing will change. We stand by our quotes.
  9. We're bilingual - We speak English  and Geek so we'll be able to explain things to you in plain terms, but if you want to know the technical stuff and like long strings of TLAs or if you need someone that can work with other IT companies then we can do that too.
  10. Valid code - Every site we produce has valid (X)HTML, CSS, RSS and any other technology that's involved in your site. Because we offer CMS sites that you can edit yourself, you may choose to make it not validate later, but it will start off validating - we work to standards. This also helps to 'future proof' your site, nothing is truly future proof on the web, but if your site meets the standards it will still look good in years to come - if it isn't built to standards, then you'll have to cross your fingers and hope it doesn't break with every new browser version that comes out.
  11. Cross browser functionality - We ensure that your site will looks great and functions in the two most recent versions of Internet Explorer, and the current versions of Firefox, Safari, Chrome and Opera.
  12. Reliable hosting - Your site will be hosted on a server with RAID in a modern, fully equipped, data centre with backup power and 24x7 monitoring. We fully manage the hosting - meaning that we secure the servers that we host on, we don't set you up on bargain basement third party hosting and then say 'not my problem' when your website software isn't up to date with the latest security patches. We update for you - it's part of our hosting service.
  13. Good quality text - Having a well ranked site is nice, but it's no good if your potential customers can't read it. We ensure that, at launch, your site reads well and that it fits into recommended line lengths, text sizes, and colour contrasts.
  14. Measurable results - We recommend Google Analytics for tracking information about your visitors; it gives you a wealth of information to analyse and work out how to move your business forward. You can see what's working, and what's letting you down.
