Finding
your website is only the first step.........
We fully understand the need
for visitors to be able to find your site from a variety of Search
Engines. Whilst no website author can guarantee top placings in Search
query results, we will advise the client on how to maximise the chances
of good search engine rankings, through use of effective content,
html tags, and site linking strategies, throughout the design and development
process. We will also advise what NOT to do, like not having Flash introduction
pages that impede a Search Engine's ability to seek out indexable content.
First impressions
felt when a visitor arrives on your website are very important.
Building
trust and keeping attention are very important in those crucial first
few seconds. If the site is difficult to navigate or parts of the
site fail to load, chances are they will leave. A common misconception
amongst web surfers is that everyone these days has a super broadband
connection and a 19" screen. Not so. Our sites are designed and
developed to alienate as few visitors as possible. We aim to cater
for visitors on dial-up connections viewing at a resolution of
1024x768, even though that is sometimes perceived as a backward
step.
There are many things
needed to make a website work for everyone.
- Clear Navigation -
We aim to provide clear navigation, not only from a good usability
point of view, but it is also extremely important for search engines.
- Consistent Design -
Keeping the look and feel of the site consistent is key to keeping
your visitors on board. If they have to root around every page
looking for that menu they used before, chances are they won't
bother.
All of our sites are template-driven - We create "master
pages" which define the position and appearance of key elements
such as menus, logos, titles etc, and generate web pages from these
templates.
- Ensure everyone gets the same message - Making
sure the site appears as everyone intended it to in a variety of web
browsers across
different platforms. We take cross-browser and cross-platform compatibility
very seriously.
