Content Management Systems (CMS)

CMS pages allow the owner of the website to update the site regularly without having to consult the web designer. We can setup your website with simple Content Management Systems to enable you to add, edit or delete articles without the need for complex coding knowledge.

Ecommerce

Should you wish to sell products online, we offer an Ecommerce option which will allow you to own your own online store. Payments can either be made through a merchant bank account or online payments facilities such as Paypal. If you intend to sell only a few products we can design this into a page on your website. If, however, you intend to sell multiple products and have a user-friendly interface for viewing orders, and be able to add and remove products at your leisure, then we use Actinic Ecommerce software. Actinic is one of the world leaders in reliable Ecommerce software and is used for small to large businesses worldwide. We will design the store for you and install software on your computer so that you can easily make changes to your store without any HTML or coding knowledge. We also offer tutorials to get you started.

Forums & Blogs

We offer fully customised forums for online discussion; whether it be for discussing your site or just a place for your users to meet and chat.

Blogs are the new internet craze: they allow anybody to share their thoughts and their lives to the internet community. If you want to start your own, be it as part of your website, or as a standalone blog then we are here to help.

Cross-browser compatibility

Many web designers only design their sites to be compatible with Microsoft Internet Explorer. But what about the many other browsers out there? What about Apple Mac users? What about Firefox, Netscape and Opera users? Is their custom less important?

No

That's why we design our websites to be compatible with 99% of browsers so that your site won't be alienating a large proportion of it's potential users. Some statistics on browser usage can be found atW3schools.com; where it's noted that only 65% of web users use Internet Explorer. There's another 35% out there waiting to be included!

Validated XHTML 1.0 and CSS

Where possible, our sites are coded to W3.org's standard, which displays quality web design and shows that we have taken care to create an interoperable web site.
