Web Design

Designing, building and supporting web sites for small business in Harrogate.

The internet can look very complicated to the owner of a small business who is already too busy doing what they do best. What we do is to take your ideas build on them to help you reach your market and communicate with your customers. We like to work closely with our customers (which is why we only work with customers in or within a 30 minute drive of Harrogate these days)

We strive to take all the pain and complication away and back-up that promise with a 100% money back guarantee.

Services

We design, build, publish, maintain and manage web sites for businesses local to Harrogate, North Yorkshire; in addition we can arrange all elements of web hosting, web publishing, domain name registration and search engine visibility for you. In plain English; we can handle every element from initial graphic designs to monitoring the performance of the site.

Recent portfolio additions

Three recent projects are The Sawley Arms, Convergent Solutions and Global Services Customer Portal

The Sawley Arms - over the past 39 years Mrs June Hawes has built a great reputation for fine food, excellent service and some of finest holiday accomodation available anywhere. Now it has a web site too.

Convergent Solutions - A business to business site offering technical information and spare parts for a range of telephone systems. This was one of the first large scale web standards based sites in the UK. This site delivered twice the rate of visits compared to the site it replaced allowing the client to save many thousands of pounds on search engine fees. Our client saved over £1000 per month in search engine fees, recovering the design and build costs in less than six months.

Global Services - Designed for global and multi-national organisations; allowing them to manage their data networks; this site supports a global audience, meets all national and international standards. As you would expect the site supports multiple languages. This site was built using web standards so that the client could avoid the often high costs of maintenance. This new site allowed the client to close many old sites and merge all operations on this new single portal. From 2008 onward, our client expects to spend 60% less per year maintaining their site.

Why buy from us ?

Building a web site so that as many potential customers as possible can read it can be difficult. Creating one at the right price point that still works one, two or three years down the line on any of the current range of browser software is even more difficult.

Having been involved with computers since the late 1970s (at Bletchley Park but long after the heros and early experiments had moved away) and the web since the very first internet node was built in the UK in the 1990s and completed over 500 commercial web sites to date; we have the experience to meet your needs in full; and we know how to avoid design choices that could increase costs without adding value.

We design using web standards because it is easier for us. This means we can work quicker and take on more clients in less time. We pass on those savings to you and can with confidence offer a promise to maintain your site for the life of the maintenance period at no extra cost to you. It also means that the sites we create are more accessible. Designing sites to be more accessible this means they could reach up to 11% more readers yet could cost 40% less to build and maintain than old fashioned sites. Being accessible also means that web sites are more visible to the "blind billionaire" otherwise known as Google, currently the most popular of the internets search engines, so more customers find your site rather than the competition.
