Each design job is unique and therefore the process we follow will always be new and exciting. The stages listed below are a framework that we use when creating a site - our typical design process.

We've used a fun, lighthearted example of a parachuting cats business to illustrate the website design process  If you'd like to see some examples of real businesses we've created websites for, please see our sample sites page.

Our websites all include a Drupal Content Management System, to make them easy to edit by you, or if you'd prefer, by us.  Tailor-made solutions such as e-commerce sites and Flash animation rich sites can also be provided as required.

The links below go to more information on each stage in the design process.

Planning your website
 Planning
Discussing the site with you to gain a precise understanding of your requirements.
Choosing keywords

Keyword Selection
Discussing what people might enter into the search bar of their preferred search engine to find your website. We then check how often people have searched for each word or phrase and generate new phrases. For the whole of the website design process from this point forwards we keep at the forefront of our minds these keywords and include them where search engines can find them.

Website Creation
Designing the pages themselves, inserting navigation, etc. We can also create logos and illustrations for you, as well as text. We will also buy your domain name (e.g. www.flycatfly.com) and host your website.

The web creation stage also includes creating the functionality of the site, for example, adding discussion forums or ecommerce features, configuring contact forms, etc.
   Web Hosting
We include 2 years free hosting and domain name renewals with every new site. 
The hosting includes a 99.9% uptime guarantee, 24/7 support and is environmentally friendly.
Search Engine Submission

Search Engine Optimization
Creating meta tags which search engines use to give you your page rank. Comparing these to the top 10 websites that appear for searches in Google in order to optimise them. Refining text to help your site appear with search engines.

Search Engine Submission
We will submit your site to over 70 search engines and directories (more for bilingual sites). This includes all the major search engines, such as Google, Yahoo, MSN, etc.

Link Building
Generating other links to your site is an essential part of SEO (Google and other search engines see each link as a 'vote of confidence' and without these links, your site won't appear high in the results). We can generate high quality reciprocal and one way links to your site from other relevant websites and by article submissions and directory submissions.
Ongoing Promotion
For large sites we would also recommend our Ongoing Promotion package.
We can continue to generate new links for you each month and ensure that when Google or other search engines change their algorithms, your website always appears on the first page.
