A good website is attractive, organised and easy to use. A good website can save money by reducing marketing costs and raise money by attracting more customers, improving sales rates or by selling online. A website is an easy way to tell the world what you have to offer and why they should buy from you.

The first step in designing a website is to determine what you want the site to do. This could include:

• Showcase a catalogue of products/portfolio of work.

• Sell products/services by accepting online payments.

• Provide information about your business.

• Enable customers to contact you.

• Enable people to meet other people and chat.

• Allow visitors to download files such as music.

• Allow customers to make online bookings and reservations.

• Give a guided tour.

The next considerations are the style of site desired and the budget available.

Brochure sites
The simplest sites are essentially an online brochure. They give information on one to a several pages and can act as an introduction to your products and services in the same way as a very detailed advert. This site is an example of a billboard site.

E-Commerce
Selling products and services directly through a website is called e-commerce. This is usually achieved with shopping cart software. A database can be used to store products but this is not essential where not many different products are sold. See our online example of a database driven online store.

Flash and Graphics
Flash is one of many methods of adding animation and interactive features to a website. The impact can be tremendous but complex flash animations can be very time consuming and complicated to make hence they can be expensive.

We can also help to design custom graphics and logos.
