The best way for us to tell you about what we do is to look through some examples of our graphic design, print and web design:

Web Design Nottingham

The way your site is built can have a huge impact on the user experience and your search engine presence - there are some great looking sites out there but if the background structure (the bit you don't generally see) isn't up to scratch then even the best looking website may struggle to fulfill its full potential. Here's an overvie of the most important points:

• Good clean coding
• Flexible content management
• Easy navigation
• Good page structure
• Good initial site planning
• Clear information
• Good use of key words and descriptions

Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) - as part of website development.

This is an ocean of a subject - much of it is pure conjecture as people like Google don't tell us what the rules are - we can only learn by our and other peoples experiences. Whole companies are built around this subject - often these companies are called in by struggling site owners whose sites don't match the criteria above and are basically trying to carry out a rescue operation. Sometimes it works for a short time but then the site owners are locked into continuing high expense as the need to keep on top of the positioning by paying SEO companies takes over.

Our approach to a more organic SEO strategy includes:

• Fulfilling the points in the web site overview - this is probably the most important thing in the overall scheme of things
• *Linking between sites that we have built - a highly effective method for long term growth. Our good on-going relationships with clients enables this to happen.
• Submission of site to the Open Directory Project
• *Submission of site to Google - various methods
• *Hand submission to selected directories
• *Submission to article and press release sites
• Accurate meta tags and descriptions
• Friendly URLs - this is important - many e-commerce sites don't describe the page or products in the web address line - ours does. This gives search engines
• an extra source of information - an advantage over many of your competitors
• Use of a Google site map
• Use of Google analytics
• *Helping you to use social networking as a means of promotion

*As part of on-going maintenance and support

There are no secrets in any of the above - all of this information is widely available. Success is never guaranteed with search engines but a combination of all the above sets us up for steady growth and a long-term search engine presence.

E Commerce Website Design

We specialise in e commerce website design and development using Magento - a state-of-the-art and open source e commerce system. Developed very recenty but with a huge international take up, Magento has more features 'out of the box' than any other system available - here are just a few...

• Automatic Stock control and back-ordering.
• Automatic invoice creation / sending - VAT breakdown etc.
• Automatic order confirmation.
• Various shipping options and calculations eg. weight-based, quantity-based.
• Various discount options such as tier pricing i.e. buy 100 at this price but buy 200 at a lower unit price.
• Customer discounts - give a customer a unique discount code to, for example, take 10% off their first purchase.
• Image zoom - display images at a larger size when clicked.
• Automatic image watermarking.
• Custom options - display a product such as a framed print and allow the buyer to choose various pre-set sizes at different prices.
• Up-sells, related products and cross-sells - if you have a product that is also available in different formats, display the product along with the related products.
• Special prices.
• Product search.
• Email to a friend.
• Add to wishlist.
• Customer reviews and ratings.
• Contact form.
• Blog - a great way to talk about your products, services, trade fairs etc.
