Web Design

Our web solutions include:

We view web design as an iterative process, prefaced by a careful definition of customer, consumer and wider community needs as well as definition of return-on-investment of the web design process.
Our general methodology for web design includes the following:
-
Definition of online objectives, priorities, budget and desired return on investment
-
Benchmarking of competitor websites
-
Definition of preferred design elements and themes
-
Content development: text and images
-
Keyword analysis
-
First design stage
-
Review
-
Second design stage
-
Review & completion
We consider it imperative that the site owner carefully reviews steps a-d in this process, since these depend on them. In particular, we will not start a design process unless all written content has been prepared (or has been contracted to us as part of the design contract). This avoids repetitive work and project delays.
Solutions are provided on a range of platforms, including html 5, Microsoft aspx, Ajax and php depending on the project budget, security concerns and design creativity.
