We develop our sites to display correctly display in all browsers, Internet explorer, Netscape, Mozilla and opera are the main browsers. This makes sure that all your visitors can see your pages in the correct design.
This makes sure that no matter what browsers you customer is using the site will display correctly. None of our sites will carry a warning that they only work in Internet explorer 5+. We can do this by testing in not only the current set of browsers but in older versions as well.
Too often you see sites not displaying properly, usually it is because of differences in how Internet explorer and Netscape interpret the HTML code. Internet explorer has more than 90% of the browser market, but it is important that your site can be seen no matter which browser you potential customer is using.
This is a good quote"Anyone who slaps a 'this page is best viewed with Browser X' label on a Web page appears to be yearning for the bad old days, before the Web, when you had very little chance of reading a document written on another computer, another word processor, or another network."
- Tim Berners-Lee in Technology Review, July 1996
We can help if you have a web site that is under performing, whether it is search engine optimisation or a complete redesign of the web site.

Improving the site's organization.

Whatever you need we have the abilities to make your web site a success.
We do not offer hosting or sell domain names for a couple reasons. Many web design companies recommend hosting simply on the basis that they have a reseller package deal with that company.
We want to get away with this and offer impartial advice on the best domain and hosting options. We can help you choose the best service available not the one that makes money for us.
These are some of the things you should consider.
Telephone support:
This is important for when things go wrong. E-mail support is still good but it can be tricky explaining things in e-mail.
Bandwidth available:
This can be one of the most important concerns that will affect your web site. Bandwidth is the actual amount that has been transferred by the host. If you accept a lot of traffic to your site then accept to pay more.
E-mail:
Be sure the hosting company caters for your e-mail requirements. You may want multiple e-mail address. You may also look for Spam and virus screening.
If you did not understand anything about hosting send us e-mail.
Well that depends on how much work we do. The minimum you would pay for a basic web site is about £350. If your site requires database work, search engine optimisation, web promotion or a shopping cart system then the price would go up.
You basically pay for the amount of hours we work on your site.
Online business has had one big problem that is affecting sales - security.
We have a solution to the problem. A pay pal shopping cart. This is a completely secure solution that has no set-up costs. All credit card processing is done on paypals server so all your customers will be safe in the knowledge that there credit card details are safe.
There is no need for Servers, databases, digital certificates, SSL, merchant accounts, payment gateways, CGI programming.
This is the perfect answer to accepting credit cards on the Internet for small businesses.
Site Maintenance.
Site maintenance is very important to the success of a web site. Without fresh content being added regularly then you visitors will have no reason to keep returning.
We can update you site on a regular basis for a small cost. We can also advise you on how to add interesting content that will have your visitors returning regularly.
You can do it yourself but you may soon discover this web design business is trickier than you first thought!
Site statistics are critical information for the performance of your web site. It helps you find out how many people are visiting your site and where they are coming from. They will tell you how many visitors are coming though search engines and which key phrase they are using. Many hosting packages will come with site stats as part of the package, some don't. They are some (free) software packages that you can use to interpret the server logs.
