Web Design and Development “Make everything as simple as possible, but not simpler.” - Albert Einstein Simplicity is key in pleasing customers For a customer to firstly find a website, navigate to their required area and leave with what they came for, design concepts need to remain simple and logical - with the customer journey at the forefront of website development. Static Web Design Even the smallest and simplest of websites need a good navigational system so that a new customer, will become a returning customer. Static websites are best described as brochure websites. This allows for a customer to view your company online through a series of category pages that clearly displays what it is that a company sells, and details of how a purchase can be made. Typically, these sites start with a few pages increasing to tens upon tens of informative indexed pages. Prices start from £229 Static Web Design with Flash Dynamic  Flash dynamic features add extra capability of displaying a product range through rotational images and image galleries. This feature gives potential customers a clearer vision of what a business has to offer. Image galleries begin with thumbnail (small shots) of product photographs and increase to larger images when selected. In this present day, photo galleries are used by millions of companies throughout the world and it is an expectation of a user to be presented with a selection of products when browsing in an online environment. A website can have as a greater impact with a consumer when dynamic elements such as flash images are used.

New fangled ideas are thought up on a daily basis on how to cut costs and increase profitability - products that were thought never to be deemed an online purchase are indeed fulfilling that status. Which is why existing businesses need to be ahead of the game, rejouvenating traditional processes and reaching their market through alternative, if not, additional mediums. eCommerce (an online shopping facility) will open doors to new market segments, essentially creating new paths for existing customers to continue to buy its products or use its services, whilst existing methods may stay in situ for customers with traditional buying habits. Prices start from £750 Content Management System (CMS) CMS is for businesses that have a high turnover of content changes which enables businesses to update elements of a website themselves. The design process remains with us - a designer developes the pages and adds initial content, in addition, a CMS gives nominated users within a business access to edit ‘pre selected’ areas within. The systems are designed to be used by people who have limited or no previous experience and full training can be given to those selected.
