Website Design and Development

We don’t develop websites from  cloned templates – following a detailed briefing our creative team will custom design your site to maximise communication of your products or service. Taking into account your corporate styling and existing marketing budget your new site will be an extension of your marketing activity. We will create a custom built, bespoke online presence for your business.

If you have been  researching the look and operation of websites on the Internet, prior to deciding what you want for your own business, or if you are changing and updating your old site and looking at newer ideas and options, you will undoubtedly have come accross the DIY websites that are sold to very small businesses with “Templates, Colours and Graphics”  suitable for your business.  In other words, Stock Images, Stock Text and with the same cloned look of thousands of other sites which have been bolted together from standard components. . . .  Probably with all the sales appeal of anything else bolted together from a collection of odds and ends.  

We don’t work like that.

Firstly, we would like to design a site which compliments your business, not one which tries to squeeze it into an alien box of shapes and colours which you would not normally use.

Secondly, We do NOT buy-in or use anonymous stock images from third-party companies - wherever possible we would prefer to have professional photographs taken that relate to your actual business or organisation - and we can arrange this as part of the overall package.  If you prefer to provide these images yourself, we will need copyright clearance forms to confirm that you have a right to use and assign the image rights.  In this way, you will set your business apart from your competition because YOUR website will actually reflect the quality of your business.  For a potential customer of,  say, a Solicitors to see a website image of a modern office in a site built with cloned images, but see a beautiful, individual historic building when they turn up at the door sends an immediate message that the business is not telling the truth to it’s customers - so is it wise for customers to trust with that company.    Perhaps not, we would suggest.

Thirdly, we are not going to ask you to pay us a huge sum of money up front for our work (unless you insist and force it into our hands).  We would like to keep you as a customer for many years, so we want to look after you.  We have therefore researched and produced what we call our “Weblease” system.  This is where we build your site, produce the graphics (or make use of some of your existing graphics if you already have a “House” style)  and host your site and email requirements for a far more affordable monthly payment which does not take a large bite our of your cash-flow before you get any benefit from it.     Email your information to us and we will get back to you for an informal chat .
