As you would expect, given that we are so strong at the back end, we can also develop the front end of any web site.We have developed an extensive range of websites, for business, not-for-profit and leisure use. We can design and develop static and dynamic pages, pulling in information from other web sites, service providers (eg, current news and weather) and back-end databases. And of course, we can help with content management for frequently changing sites. As always, our first interest is why the website is needed, what are the business objectives, what is the target audience, how will they find the site, and how will they use it. When we know this, we can advise, design and build the most suitable site.

Platform. We develop for all delivery platforms: from wireless, through dialup to broadband, from the smallest mobile and handheld screens to wall displays, for all operating systems (Unix, Windows, etc) and all versions of all browsers (Microsoft, Netscape, Opera, etc). We have a unique understanding of how these variables cancause big variances in presentation – and we develop and test to ensure optimum performance.

Design and content. We have excellent creative designers, graphic artists, photographers, animators, copy-writers, authors, editors and producers who can help put together the content. We can follow your corporate design, or create a new image for you with a theme appropriate to the mission and target audience of the site. And we can help ensure that the content has the appropriate balance of information, marketing, sales interactivity and other elements.

Development. Once our content team hands over to our technical development team, we have technical experts in image optimization, streaming audio-video, Flash and other special effects, client-side scripting and Dynamic XHTML / XML markup. Together, they ensure that you have a fast loading, robust and reliable web site. Of course, the back end is no problem (see Internet programming).

Management & Promotion. Just as you would not have brochures printed and then leave them in a cupboard, so websites need ongoing care and attention. One of the most important activities is promotion, to ensure that effective traffic is driven to the site. We will not do the spam-type promotion that many of our competitors follow. Instead, we plan a marketing and promotion strategy and follow through to ensure that the returns on your investment exceed your expectation.
