A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools.

Web Strategy
Before we set about designing your site we'll first meet with you and try to realise your exact needs and requirements for your site as well as getting any source material. During this meeting we'll try to determine a strategy of how to take your site to market, and which market to take it to.
Of course things may change as the site progresses but it is vital to set off on the right foot.
- Informal procedure to decipher exactly what you need from a website
- No techno mumble jumble, we communicate in a way we will both understand
- Can be performed in a meeting or over the phone
Website Design
The most important things in a website are accessibility, functionality and design. First the user must be able to find your site, then they must be able to find what they are looking for. They must also be able to enjoy the experience so they will return in the future.
These are the principles we use in all of our sites however some of the best examples occur in pure HTML sites. Hand coded to ensure all modern web standards are met, this is a great starting point for smaller websites where design is key and the pages don't need to be updated too often.
- Hand coded HTML, CSS and Javascript to meet standards.
- Cost effective without losing quality
- Can be integrated with "modules" which can be easily updated by you e.g latest news, galleries and calendars.
Content Management Systems
The next step is CMS which allows you control over your site so that you can update your prices, products, text, pictures and much more. One of the biggest reasons web sites don't get repeat traffic is they are out of date, a sure thing to put off your potential customers.
