Our approach to web design

• We believe your website should reflect your unique corporate identity and this guides every aspect of our design.
• Your users should immediately understand your site's purpose, with every page communicating its content at a glance. We strive to achieve this with quick to download, user friendly pages that display content in manageable amounts with clear paths to further information, steps to take or contact details.
• We work closely with you to ensure that your content is highly relevant to your audience: it clearly depicts your products and/or services, answers your customers' questions, provides solutions, ideas and inspiration, and effectively communicates your organization's message.
• The design and content structure is developed to support future updates in ways that are easily implemented and cost effective.
• Websites are structured and coded in a way that is accessible to search engines and display well across a range of devices.

The web design process

• Free Initial meeting
  In the initial meeting we discuss the website look you're after, your URL, your branding, colours, site function, content and budget — your complete wish list
• Estimate provided
  A detailed estimate is provided so you will know all of your costs up front. Payment plans are available.
• Design approval
  At our second meeting a design sketch or sketches will be provided along with the proposed function of the website. Design adjustments are performed at this time to achieve your desired look.
• Home page / site function approval
  The home page and one or more sub pages are created and placed online via a testing address so you can view how the web pages look online and test drive your site.
• Site construction
  All web pages are constructed and made available for your review via the test site.
• Editing
  Final changes, corrections and any last minute layout tweaks are completed. All functionality is tested.
• Your website goes live
  Final review of your site, approve your copy and layout, website made live at your domain.

Logos / Redesigns / Layouts

• Need a logo? Let us know your colours and design preferences and we can come up with some options for you.
• Do you have an existing site or a web page that needs re-designing or a new layout? Sketches can be provided in Photoshop or HTML once we discuss your ideas and requirements.

Social media / blogs

Social media is often closely linked with your site. We will ensure your site is as prominently linked to your social media profiles and/or blog as you wish. We are also happy to work with your existing social media profiles or blog if these have already been set-up. Our services include:
