Web design
We believe in giving you control of your website so that it can remain fresh and up to date; therefore our bespoke web designs use a Content Managed System (CMS) to allow you full editing access over your website’s text and images.
We will work closely with you to tailor a design that both fits your company’s values and appeals to your target market. The CMS system that we use has a flexible range of options that can grow with your business, allowing you to add modules such as an e-newsletter or an online shop as they become necessary.
To ensure that you’re speaking the same language as your customers, we offer a copywriting and editing service; a picture speaks a thousand words, so we can also help you source photographs that are giving the right message or put you in touch with a team of trusted photographers who can work with you to develop your own style of imagery.
Search Engine Marketing and Optimisation (SEO)
Unless your website can be found, it is a wasted resource, so we can help you to optimise your site to help search engines index it more effectively against your competitors. Our SEO services include research of effective keywords for your market, integrating keywords/phrases within your website (providing you have an editable website) to help with organic (free) listings and setting up and running Adword/pay-per-click campaigns.
Social Networking and Twitter
We've developed a range of solutions to help businesses get the most from social networking tools such as twitter and facebook; our "Chattering Classes" subscription services are designed to fit with your existing marketing and PR efforts and start from as little as £10 per month. We can also offer mentoring programmes to help you understand how to develop your own social networking campaigns.
