As a means of bringing your company's products and services to the global market, the Internet offers unrivalled opportunity. Where previously few companies could operate competitively without a company brochure, more and more businesses appreciate that having online product information or an online product catalogue, is a natural progression in the move from paper to electronic media.
Our carefully picked design and scripting team are highly skilled technically and work well with clients spanning all levels of web expertise from beginner to expert. They are familiar with a wide range of design tools and software packages.

STAGE I – INFORMAL MEETING
We are able to offer high quality web site design by discussing your needs carefully before starting any work and by consulting with you at key stages throughout the design process. Indeed, your full participation and input should not only ensure that you get the best results for your web site but also that you get the web site you intended.
At this point in the design process, you quantify exactly what you want in terms of sections, pages, functionality, colours and so on. The more information we have about your web site, the better, as the site’s content will determine both its architecture and navigation. Feel free to consult with us as much as necessary at this stage, so that we are able to determine your needs and arrive at a specification that we can work from.
Once this has been done, we quote a fee for the design work taking all the above into account.

STAGE II – FINAL COSTING - DESIGN UNDERWAY
Having reached agreement on the site outline, design elements and overall cost, our design team starts work on your web site. Our aim at this stage is to generate a theme and 'first impression' for the site including a homepage and index navigation for the sections of the site. Colour schemes and any graphics and text you have provided will also be integrated into the design.
We then publish the files for your private appraisal. Feedback is important at this time to establish that we have a good basis for the rest of your web site and are going in the right direction. With your approval, we move on to stage three of the design process.

STAGE III – CONTENT - UPDATE - MARKETING
The homepage should now look pretty much as envisaged with firm guidelines having been established for the rest of the site. A percentage of the site cost is due at this stage.
This is the longest of the three stages, with the bulk of the site being completed and tested for usability. At this point, we would ask that any content changes be completed with the aim of producing a 'finished product'.
At the end of this stage, you should have a web site finished to your specification. On satisfactory completion, the outstanding amount is due, upon receipt of which, we publish the finished files to the Internet, thus making the site live and accessible by the public.
