The design of a website is a combination of the business concepts that the client wishes to promote and a clear representation of the goods or services that the potential customer is seeking. It has to be eye catching, easy to navigate and quick to load.

The appearance of the website is very important as it conveys a level of confidence and trust as well demonstrating the goods or services that are being offered. Colour is used to take the eye,quickly to the relevant parts of the site that guide the visitor to their area of interest. The navigation must be simple, easy to follow and the number of clicks kept to a minimum.

Although appearance is important, there is a second factor of equal gravity that must be addressed at each and every phase of design. The website must be search engine friendly to ensure that the would be customer is connected to the website. Further details of designing for the search engines is given on the optimisation page.

An equally important factor is to understand the objectives of the client and we encourage them to discuss their business, identify their market and define the messages that the Internet should be conveying to their customers. We will then design a website that is both attractive and optimised to find the maximum number of business opportunities.
