we provide complete website design, building and strategic development services
planning your website with a site map
Site mapping is a process where we extract from your organisation the information necessary to build a plan for your website construction. This process helps clients better understand what they are trying to achieve with their website. The site map itself becomes the skeleton of your website. It shows all content, demonstrates functionality and sets size and scope. Sitemaps enable accurate quoting and make quick cost effective changes possible. The site mapping process is vital to create a successful website.
website design
Once you’ve finally got people to your website, the first few seconds will determine whether people stay or leave. If they leave in under 5 seconds this is called a 'bounce'. A bounce can be defined as: “They came, they saw, they puked!” To avoid a high 'bounce rate' you must make your website appeal to your desired market. Investing in good design is the best way to ensure the success of your website. An appealing, professional and effective web design will build confidence in your existing clients and give prospective clients the impression that your brand and company is strong.
building your website
During the construction process we build an offline version of your site. This means that we can give you access to your site as it is being built while hiding it from the world. This gives us the ability to build your website in conjuction with you, which ensures a great result. All sites we build utilise internationally compliant coding standards. Once your site is ready to launch we perform stringent quality assurance and testing to ensure your website will work consistently across all computer platforms and web browsers.
control your own website with a CMS (content management system)
The Orion Content Management System is one of the best applications available to give small to medium enterprises control over their own website content. When applied to your website, Orion is accessed through a login panel and presents you with an easy to use interface and logical editing tools, exactly as you find in programs like Microsoft Word. Also, since Orion is not an open source content management system it is a very secure system. We like Orion so much, we used it to manage this site!
creating web strategy with Google Analytics
What you can't measure, you can't manage. Google Analytics gives you the ability to precisely measure every click that occurs on your website and this information is priceless. It helps us to determine which areas of your website your clients prefer and why, and enables a development strategy that can direct much higher traffic to all areas of your site. This information is also incredibly valuable in attracting associated advertising to your site, which may see you draw a new income source from your existing website.
