Web Development and Design

We believe that design and functionality go hand in hand. A highly sophisticated site is useless if it is lacking in presentation and difficult to use. Likewise, a site that looks great but does not offer its visitors anything, is unlikely to be very popular.

All our web site solutions are tailored around our clients' individual specifications. We do not offer "off the shelf" packages because everyone's needs are different. Instead we have developed our own modular framework that allows you to have complete control over what elements are included in your web site.

When it comes to design, we promise to deliver something that is relevant to what your organisation represents and sets you apart from your competitors. We keep our clients informed every step of the way so that when your site goes live, it matches your original specification.

Design

We work closely with our clients to produce innovative designs that are relevant to their target market. You may already have an established company image, or just a basic idea of how you wish to present your organisation. No matter what your requirements, we always aim for 100% customer satisfaction. We have a very strict design process to ensure that the final product exceeds your expectations:

  • Understanding your company, what it does and who your audience/customers are.
  • Looking at your competitors in the same market to ensure that you stand out.
  • Working with you to create a requirements specification.
  • Creation of a design scheme and web site mock up templates.
  • Conversion of the agreed design to semantic XHTML/CSS web pages.

We are so confident in our ability that we do not charge our clients until they have agreed the requirements specification and are happy with the initial design plans.

Functionality

We use the latest development technologies such as ASP.NET 3.5 and AJAX, allowing us to create rich interactive web sites that offer both high forms of presentation and functionality. Our dynamic sites harness the power of Microsoft SQL Server to deliver high performance and efficient data-driven applications. We invest a great deal of time in making sure that our team is trained to the latest standards. This ensures that our clients benefit from the latest technologies as they are developed.

Retro.Web Framework (RWF)

We have developed our own series of components that offers our clients the following benefits:

  • Only pay for what you need: Many web sites are packed full of features that people do not use or require. This is why we developed our own modular framework so you get exactly what you need.
  • Flexibility: As your business grows, so too will your requirements. The way in which we develop even our most simple of web sites, ensures that any of our components can be easily integrated with your existing solution.
  • Maintenance and Support: We value our relationships with all our clients. The continuous development of RWF means that we will keep you informed of updates and new solutions that can help your organisation.
Accessibility

As part of our Quality Assurance (QA) process all our web site solutions are W3C Compliant. The W3C develop protocols and guidelines that ensure long-term growth for the web. You can be safe in the knowledge that your web site meets the accessibility requirements outlined by the W3C including providing support for people with disabilities.

For those clients who are targeting a global audience, our Globalization component (part of the RWF) can make your web site available in other languages.


Support

Our support does not stop once your web site is live. We like to build a relationship with our clients and are committed to them. If your circumstances or requirements change, we are there to help. This is why we now offer web site and email hosting solutions exclusively to our customers. Who better to host and maintain your site, than the people who created it for you!
