- Membership organisations wanting to give disseminate information, documents etc. only to their registered users
- Content management systems (CMS) allowing non technical admin staff to maintain and their site content
- An established 'bricks & mortar' shop wishing to exploit the vast potential of marketing your goods and services to a wider audience - perhaps the whole world!

A well designed website can be a powerful and profitable extension to your business, and can even be used to sell your products and services safely and securely on-line.
Web standards & accessibility
Our website's are designed to comply with the latest standards for web design and accessibility.
W3C Web Standards are a set of standards and best practice for building web sites to ensure that site will work correctly on a broad variety of web environments (i.e site will work with different browsers such as Internet Explorer, Firefox, Opera etc.)
Web accessibility means that people with disabilities can use the Web. More specifically, Web accessibility means that people with disabilities can perceive, understand, navigate, and interact with the Web, and that they can contribute to the Web. Web accessibility also benefits others, including older people with changing abilities due to aging.
We can create or improve your online presence with a unique site that is 100% tailored to your requirements. Because our sites are designed from a 'blank canvas' - we are not constrained by any generic templates - your site will look and function exactly how you want it..
Site Maintenance / improvement
After your site is launched you won't be on your own. We can track and analyse visitor activity, this valuable information can be used to further enhance your online image.
Depending on your requirements, our support team can provide ongoing website management, managed hosting and other technical support tasks that a smaller business or individual will not have on site.
What we do

- ongoing web site maintenance once your new website is up and running
We offer discount rates to non-profit and charitable organisations.
Content Management System
A content management system (CMS) is an application used for creating and managing website's and web content. There are many off the shelf programs that will allow you to manage your website and we can show you other programs which can be used for free that will meet your needs.
Website content includes everything on the site that is delivered to the customer's browser, from creative content such as text, graphics and multimedia to application content such as applications, middle-tier components, database procedures and transactional content that directly supports the creation of dynamic Web pages.
We can provide content management solutions for those that need to update their website's quickly and easily with little or no knowledge of traditional web design technologies or are unable to employ the services of a full or part time webmaster.
