Whether your site needs a simple content management system, or a more dynamic web application, your customers’ web experience relies upon appropriate design, implementation and optimisation.

Design

We help you to gauge the scale of a web project from a technical viewpoint early on, highlighting potential ‘gotchas’. We storyboard site pages and user scenarios on paper, and provide proof-of-concept pages on a web site. We design a database appropriate to the application, and provide estimates for server/bandwidth requirements based on projected user numbers.

Implementation

With a deep working knowledge of the LAMP technologies, upon which many web sites are based, we can build or enhance existing web applications with a high degree of efficiency. We make sure web pages have friendly URLs with content that is easily indexed by search engines, and accessible to those with visual, physical or cognitive disabilities.

Optimisation

There are many factors that affect a website’s performance, including server configuration, database usage, caching, hardware, bandwidth, and client-side issues such as the efficiency and placement of javascript and image files. We can analyse why your website is slow, and provide practical solutions – in some cases, response times or maximum throughput can be improved by more than 50%, in less than two days.
