Everywhere we look we are bombarded with web addresses, everything seems to have www before it. Forms now have a space for your email address. Everyone is telling you how great the 'net is, how you must embrase it or be left back in the dark ages, this can be daunting if you don't know where to start. We've been there, so we can 'hold your hand' and guide you through the processes, from registering a domain to setting up your web site. Equally we understand that there comes a time when you need help expanding, maybe you've set up a business, joined a club or fancy dabbling with on-line selling, we have the know how to help you on your way.

Below we list the types of web sites that we can 'build' for you, this may be over simplified in places, so please do consider when reading through the page, that we have created these headings as a starting point and that we offer a fully bespoke service and can combine and create whatever type of site you need.

We do approach web sites in a different way to other providers, we do not supply you with a chunk of disk space on a computer in a big building hidden away on a corner of the 'net and let you get on with it. What we do is build the site for you. Employing user friendly, content management software we give you the ability to modify the site through a web browser meaning that you never have to tackle complicated HTML code, neither do you need to purchase any additional software in order to maintain your site. Another great advantage of using this software is that adding 'modules' is straight forward and even the most basic site can be built on. The level of 'interaction' will be dependant on the type of site you have.
 

Do you want just one or two pages on the 'net, maybe an online Blog and a few photos? We can do that. The software we use to create the web sites means that you don't need to have any knowledge of how to program a web site. We can even offer a number of basic templates for you to choose from, so you don't even need to think about how to design your site, all the hard work is done for you.

Club, society & community web sites

These sites offer problems all their own. Having experienced it first hand we know how difficult it can be to keep on top of a club web site, there is always the pressure to keep the site upto date and current. However these sites are nearly always maintained by unpaid enthusiasts in their spare time, and we all know that there is never enough spare time. The administrator of the web site often finds themselves publishing and compiling information from a number of different sources, so what we offer is the ability to have more than one contributor to the site, so whilst there is only one administrator there can be a number of contributors who can publish information through the web site, taking some of the pressure off the administrator. This is a very exciting feature and one that has only recently become affordable. Previously this feature has been the preserve of hugely expensive corporate web sites. Like the personal web site, the club and society web site is template driven and we offer an extended range for you to choose the 'look' of your site from. The final thing that we are fully aware of is that money can be very limited and that any spending will be accountable to the club/society members, talk to us about your needs and we'll find the most cost effective solution for you.

Forum based web site 

A forum is an online discussion or 'chat' group, not to be confused with a 'chat room' that is something quite different. A forum can be used for the discussion of 1001 topics, from gardening to conspiracy theories, there are no limits! To see the very successful use of forums look at PistonHeads. Combined with a few 'front end' pages this can produce an interesting and ever changing web site. Again, templates are used to make designing the site quick, cost effective and with an instant professional presence.

Business website

Whether you have been in business for years or are just starting out, you know that there are 101 things to do. In these days of ever increasing online presence it is vitally important that you have your place on the web. It could be just a page, or probabally more usefully, a site that tells potential customers who you are and what you do. A professional looking web site reflects on your business as does an amateurish, ill conceived one! Once your site is 'live' it sits there selling your business, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, as the costs of other forms of advertising rocket a well designed web site offers fantastic value for money.

Our user friendly, content management software means that changes can be implemented instantly, even the 'look' of the site can be changed, without resorting to evening classes to learn HTML or even worse, paying extortionate IT costs. All our business web sites can be managed through any web browser*, meaning that updates and changes are just a few keystrokes away. Regular updates of your web site keeps it fresh and keeps your customers coming back.

e-commerce websites

You've heard the term e-commerce bandied about, all it actually means is selling online through the internet, it could be one item or it could be a whole shop, using templates we can quickly produce a professional, easy to maintain website. Of course you can add an e-commerce module to any of our sites, so if you're running a car club, for example, you may decide that you'd like to sell club merchandise, we can easily add that to your club web site.

In addition to the 'basic' sites above, we have looked at specific problem web sites and can offer specialised sites for:

Estate Agents

Car Dealers

Holiday home rentals 

As I touched on near the top of this page, you can 'pick & mix' whatever you need for your web site, ensuring that you're happy with your web presence, just let us know what you want, and we'll do the rest.
