We offer a comprehensive range of services to create a dynamic web presence for your business. In this age of global communications and sales it is vital that your site stand out from your competitors, and offer your visitors an experience that directly reflects the personality of your business. The sites we produce can be easily managed and updated by you or by us, which means your content is kept fresh and up to date. We will work closely with you to create an exciting, individual look for your website, whatever your budget or requirements.

The Big Picture Website Experience.

After much deliberation, and years of experience offering different levels of website functionality, we have decided that offering cut-price websites is counterproductive, not only to us but also to our clients.
These days it is almost a business responsibility to have a website representing your business online. This means that your website is potentially one of your most important business and marketing assets. Most of us will seek information about a business, product or service on the internet before committing to almost anything now. What you project on the internet is a direct reflection on your business.

We offer a dynamic, thoughtfully constructed, comprehensive, component driven website to do just this - represent your business to the utmost degree, not a cut price website that has limited functionality or corners cut in order to reduce the end cost. We firmly believe that your website is a major investment in your business, so we provide you with a quality service and product. We will not cut corners on delivering a website that exceeds your expectations and performs consistently across multiple browsers.
What we do offer a fast loading, customised & branded, templated solution with the ability to add onto your website additional features at any stage. Once we have delivered the website platform, we can add onto this almost anything you want as a modular component. Want a fully secure e-commerce shopping cart on a secure socket layer (SSL - the little padlock that comes up in the bottom right corner of your browser) - no problem. Want to add in a blog or a forum. Simple. All of these things just plug into the system. This way you can carefully budget the website build and break it down into sections as they are delivered.

Edit your own content. Keep your site relevant.

The Big Picture Website package starts with a website platform of up to 10 pages, with an integral easy to use content management system so you can edit your main content areas. We provide a simple website editor, much like the standard word processing interfaces that everyone is used to (MS Word, Open Office etc), with comprehensive instructions on its use in our Client Area. This means you can easily update your website content including the addition of images, links and other media such as youtube clips.
It is of vital importance that you, as the website owner, have the option of control over the majority of your content, and most certainly your primary content. It is also of vital importance that your website be kept fresh and up to date. Afterall, it is a reflection of your business, and nobody wants to be dealing with a business that cannot manage to keep itself relevant. We can look after your content for you if you wish, just talk to us about your requirements.

Start with a website that looks exciting and dynamic.

The websites we design are just that - designed. We are qualified graphic designers first and foremost and understand the design fundamentals that create an emotional response to any form of marketing.
Studies show that most of us form an opinion about almost everything almost immediately based on our first reaction. Once that moment has past it is an uphill battle to sway the emotional response without a large effort.

The templates (upon which your website content lives) we produce will reflect your existing business identity and will be thoughtfully designed so you, and your users, will be excited by visiting your website. We will work closely with you to achieve this look and make sure that it stimulates interest in what you are offering on your website.
The navigation systems will be specifically suited to the needs of your target market and the present and future content you envisage for your site.

The websites we design are fully search engine optimised.

This ensures you have the best tools available when it comes to your clients looking for your site or services online through the standard search engines such as Google and Yahoo. Research shows that most people will only look on the first page of a search, so we construct our sites with keyword algorithms in mind so that your site has the best tools for the job. Understanding the complexities of search engines such as google takes a while, so let us guide you through the process when it comes to putting content onto your site. The cost of website construction also includes the translation of your main entry page content into a search engine optimised format. We are more than happy to extend this service and maximise the rest of your content to direct traffic to specific pages if you wish.
We also offer a monthly Search Engine Submission service to ensure your site keeps moving up those all important key word search lists, and once it gets there, it stays there.

A picture paints 1000 words.

Often the most punchy and effective part of any marketing (and especially a great website) is the images. We have an extensive image library at our disposal and our website package includes the free use of up to 5 relevant and professional images to get you going. You can certainly populate your website with your own photos if you wish, and in some cases this is essential, but we highly recommend that you discuss with us the messages that your images convey.

We have many images to use if required at very reasonable rates, and we can also provide a professional digital photographic service.

The package also includes a log in to the clients area of this website, where you will get access to a wide range of instructional resources which will guide you step by step through things such as editing your content, adding and managing images, inserting youtube clips and setting up affiliate programmes. We are happy to provide physical on site instruction if needed, and can also provide support via Skype for reasonable rates.

If you would like to see the ease at which our sites can be maintained please contact us and we can provide you with a temporary log in so you can look at the instructions in the Client Area, see our price lists, and even edit a test page if you wish.
