We recommend that You set up a system that caters for expansion and flexibility in allowing the content of the site to grow. As a part of our dynamic development methodology, we identify the following ingredients that make a successful Website.

Fast loading
The biggest single reason visitors do not stay at a Website is that it takes too long to load - that is the time it takes for the page to appear on the computer screen. The site needs to be designed around the premise of 'loading' as quickly as possible. To achieve this your site will have a strong text base for the pages (text loads very, very quickly). When photographs are used, we will tailor them to be the appropriate size and structure to ensure that they load within an appropriate timeframe.

Browser compatibility
The site needs to be compatible for viewing across a wide range of user platforms and browser software. We will test the site with many different browsers to ensure that the vast majority of visitors can see the site quickly and easily.

Look
An Internet site today represents the first contact point for many prospective clients. It is, in a nutshell, showing how professional a company is, and what kind of attitude they have in selling themselves. In full consultation with You, we will discuss the interface and layout of the site with you, to ensure the site is attractive, appealing and reflects the appropriate image. We utilize extensive usability survey to ensure the site is simple to navigate to encourage usage.

Precise (right) Information
Along with having an appealing and attractive look and feel to the site, the content of the site must be precisely what the user needs to see. Additionally, search engine positioning must be considered and the site will be developed with key words and placement of same as a consideration. search Engines like website's or web pages,which cater to a niche market.

Web Hosting
Hosting of a site we design is included in the Total package. You are free to choose another webhost if you will, However as Web Hosts we offer you the best deal on webhosting that you will find anywhere.

Data refreshment
Fresh data needs to be added to the site very regularly to aid the repeat visits by interested parties. Depending upon the level of Data refreshment will develop some of the site as what is called a Web based browser database that you can use to edit/add/delete some page content. Alternatively you may choose a Content Management System, which allows you to edit any page, delete any page, add a new page or change the order in which pages are displayed. A CMS website can be changed or updated in a matter of minutes. We will provide training to ensure that this can be effectively completed.

Marketing
This should include such aspects as identifying and arranging reciprocal links, search engine submissions, providing off-line and marketing ideas such as postcard mail-out. A key aspect of Internet marketing for many sites is high search engine rankings. The site would be designed in such a way as to maximize its potential for the highest possible rankings. In our experience, we have found submission of the site to multiple search engines as the most successful way to increase visitor numbers to the site.

Photography
As indicated, photographs of various properties, people and situations will need to be obtained for the site. Digital photography required for general site work is included in the quote.
