Web Design:

Graphic design
We believe that the way our Clients are perceived is extremely important for their business, both in print and in online design. Therefore, the website's user's experience is very high on our list. After researching the target market, we prepare custom website designs that are not only user-friendly and easy to use, but also match our Clients' corporate identity and include the "wow" factor that makes the visitors come back to your website.
Web page coding
Although high speed broadband connections are becoming cheaper, the Internet is not only for computers and broadband. More and more people browse websites on PDA's and mobile phones. A significant number of Internet users are partially disabled, and in order to be able to browse websites, they use screen readers or Braille displays. We feel that our Clients' business should be available to all these users. Therefore, when we go into the coding stage of developing a website, our primary objective is for the website to be cross-browser and cross-platform - viewable on a variety of major browsers on PCs, Macs, handhelds, PDAs and mobile phones, as well as screen and Braille readers. In order to achieve this, we use W3Consortium Web Standards: semantic XHTML markup for the structural data and CSS for the presentational layer.
The website you are looking at right now was created using XHTML and CSS.

There are other benefits of using this type of coding. The files are significantly smaller than those constructed using table layouts. As a consequence of that, the pages load much faster, as users do not need to download presentational data with each page they visit. This allows to save the bandwidth, lowering the costs of website hosting and offering a better experience to the visitor. Also, web browsers display XHTML documents quicker than ones with errors and unformatted code.
Web animation & banners
Depending on your target market, you may want to use banner advertising campaigns in your advertising process. We can prepare static and animated banners of all standard and custom kinds and sizes, including GIF and Flash animations.
Flash websites
Some products require to be presented in a more dynamic way than a static website. If your product falls within this category, or if your target audience prefers to see an interactive presentation of your product, we can develop a Flash website for you.
E-commerce (online shops)
If your business can benefit from letting your customers purchase your products online, we can design, develop and implement a custom-made e-commerce application for you at a competitive rate. Our e-commerce solutions are easy to use both for the site visitor and for the website administrator and include all the features essential for the functioning of an online shop and more - to provide a satisfying experience to your customers and to distinguish your shop from your competition.

Web IT:

Custom web application development
If your online presence requires a custom web application, we are the company to talk to. We can develop literally any kind of online software, including, but not limited to CMS (content management systems), huge database driven directories, online order tracking programs and client database management software. We tend to use open source solutions, such as Unix hosting, PHP server-side scripting and MySQL databases in order to minimimize the costs and to make sure your online application is safe, fast and reliable. Although, if your requirements include IIS hosting or ASP/Microsoft SQL programming, we will be happy to work in this environment as well.
Script installation & modifications
If you don't require a custom web application or want to use an open-source solution for your online needs, we can install, modify and maintain the ready scripts on your website.

Online Marketing:

Search engine optimisation
In order to drive traffic to your website, not only should it be visible in search engines, but it should rank high in the search results. Having a website that doesn't appear in search engines is like having premises which no one can find.
Therefore, if you decide you need a website, you should always consider our search engine optimisation services. Because we use structural mark-up for coding, the websites we develop are accessible to search engine spiders and crawlers and coded with good on-page search engine optimisation. Of course, that is not all. We use a number of various techniques and tricks to get you up there - so that your business is visible to the widest possible audience.
An existing website can also be optimised for better performance in search engines. We will analyse your site for free and provide a list of what can be done in order for it to rank higher.
E-mail marketing
Although e-mail is primarily used for fast communication, a professionaly designed HTML e-mail template and e-brochures can be an effective marketing tool. When preparing e-mail marketing campaigns for our Clients, we always keep in mind not only the graphic design itself, but also the compatibility with various e-mail programs, while trying to keep the e-mail's file size to the minimum.
