The last few years have seen a vast increase in the number of businesses or organizations which have websites. Soon, a business without a website will be as rare as a business without a phone. Already, on television, we see predictions that those without a website will soon be those out of business.

The first step in any web design process is to establish exactly what you require. (If you're familiar with websites, the design process and already know what you require, then follow this link ).

For businesses, we can develop a website which can provide information or sell your products or services, locally or internationally. The World Wide Web is the platform from which your business can promote itself to new markets.

For nonprofit organisations, Internet is the means by which you can promote your objectives and offer help or advice, while providing information.

For the individual, we can create a personal website on which you can publish to the world, your interests or beliefs, and through which you may make contact with like minded others.

We use a variety of tools and techniques. Pages can contain movement, colour, sound and be interactive. They can calculate results and pass information from page to page. Graphics can add interest and inform. Pages can collect information and then generate a new, custom page. Databases can be used to store and process information. Complex forms can be made available for printing and posting. Credit Card processing can be set up through use of a secure server and sophisticated encryption can be used to pass personal information confidentially.

For most websites, we suggest at least the following pages, (although the names may be altered):

• Home - a page which acts as an index, an introduction and which may contain any special offers or announcements.
• About Us - a page detailing you, your business or organisation.
• Services - pages explaining what you offer.
• Portfolio - pages with links and brief descriptions of your product or clientele.
• Contact Us - contact information detailing telephone numbers, street address, e-mail, fax and other ways you can be contacted.

Before we begin development of your website, we will endeavour to establish what your expectations are. YOU are the expert in your own business and we will work closely with you to present your site in the most attractive, informative and efficient manner possible.

If, at this point, you are still unsure of your needs, fill out and submit our 'design project form' and we will contact you as soon as possible with a proposal.
