Design Services
In today's environment, a modern, professional web presence is vital to most organisations. You need to maintain contact with service users, provide information to clients or volunteers, or even simply provide basic information about your existence and purpose. Every organisation has different needs in a website, and we aim to satisfy all of them for you.
To keep your costs down, we have a range of basic design templates ready to go, and will happily customise any of them with your choice of colour scheme and graphics at no extra charge. Quotes are based on the number of pages you want, complexity of structure and any additional features you require.
If you would like something a little more creative or unusual, we can produce custom designs to your specification. If you're not sure what you want, we're happy to work with you to come up with a design. Obviously, this costs a little more, to cover the time taken producing the design.
Basic interactive features can be added from our range of re-usable components. A contact form is always useful, to enable users to contact you directly within your website. If you want to make sure your website always has the latest news from your organisation, without tedious coding and uploading, our news component can provide that service. These are just a couple of examples of the interactive features we can add to your website with minimal extra lead time.
If you're looking a for a new website, you might also want to consider whether one of our hosted applications might be appropriate. Using a content management system, we can make it easy for you to edit and update your own website without needing to know all the details of HTML. If you want to keep people updated of your news and views, and allow them to discuss the things you're writing about, a blog may be appropriate. Finally, if you want to allow a community to collaboratively develop a website or knowledge base, a wiki could be right up your street. In all three cases, we can customise the layout, colour scheme and overall design of your new website. We can also convert an existing website to use a content management system. Feel free to talk to us about the possibilities.
We are able to provide competitive managed hosting for all of our designs, and affordable contracts for ongoing maintenance. We can also advise on, install, host, manage and maintain a variety of third-party components and systems, and integrate them with your site (where appropriate). Please contact us to discuss options in this area.
