Search Engines and Offline Marketing

Gaining competitive advantage

From the black arts of web marketing to improving your brand, we can assist in getting your website, and your company, the attention it deserves.

We don't pretend there's a big secret to web marketing. Using basic principles and ethical techniques, we've helped many companies move up in the search engine rankings in competitive markets such as Spanish property and children's clothing. We offer everything from straightforward advice to full online marketing services, including link campaigns and Adwords management. Whatever your budget, and whatever your market, we can help.

We also help with traditional ("offline") marketing - writing press releases, or working with your managers or external marketing consultants to achieve brand objectives.

Our Development Services

Clean and Intelligent Web design

From massive multilingual corporate sites to simple home pages, we are experienced and comfortable building and maintaining web sites of any scale and complexity.

Building web sites since the Internet began, we've learnt how to build slick, quick and easy-to-use sites that leverage the full power of web browsing technologies. We know how important search engine optimisation and standards compliance can be to some customers - we deliver to the highest levels.

Advanced Programming Solutions

Whether you want a simple contact form or a full e-commerce site, we can code it for you. With more than 15 years of web programming experience, we make sure that any code on your web site runs quickly, securely and efficiently and that the project is completed within your budget.

We pride ourselves on supplying truly expert programming using ASP.NET, ASP Classic, JavaScript, XML/XSL, HTML and CSS, SQL Server and Microsoft Access.

We use in-house designers and specialist freelancers to provide the best design to meet your needs, whether it be website templates, logo design, or just layout of a few web pages. We can also work with your own designers to realise their design concepts into fully functional, cross-browser compliant websites.

Sites can be supplied to any specific standard requirements - we have extensive experience in producing fully accessible (WCAG AAA Compliant) sites in HTML or XHTML. We advise on web site structure from both manageability and search engine perspectives. All our work is hand codes for accuracy of design amongst browsers, ease of maintenance, and to give our clients exactly what they specified without compromise and with search engine optimisation in mind.

Creating a good website isn't just about design - the site must cater to its users, it must be easy to find in search engines and it must be easy to maintain. Wherever possible we strive to ensure visitors to your site can find the information they require in no more than three clicks of the mouse. See our website design guidelines for more details or look at some of the sites in our portfolio.
