Personal Service

Our most important principle is that we offer a very personal service. From an initial free consultation to ongoing support once your site is up and running. If you are local to the Plymouth area then we would be happy to meet to discuss your requirements. If not then we are easily contactable via e-mail or the good old fashioned telephone. We are a small company that take pride in our work and with the aid of our graphic design skills like to think we offer a service that other web design companies cannot.

Web Graphics and Logo Design

We differ from other web design companies by incorporating high end graphics into our web sites. By using software such as Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator and Corel DRAW Graphics Suite X4 we can create custom graphics that provide a professional and unique looking web site or logo. By having experience in graphic design as well as web design we can provide an all round package and ultimately a better looking product.

Content Management

The content of your site is clearly very important. We normally work with our clients to gather content as you are more likely to know about your business/subject matter than we are.

Every web site is different so it is difficult to gauge what is needed until we talk to you in person. We offer a photography service for any photos that may be required and will do our up most to help in the gathering of other content.

We also understand the need for web site updates once your site is online. We can help with this in two ways. If you are confident enough to try it yourself we will train you to update your own site. If not, then we provide an ongoing content management service that can add updates as and when you require them.

Promoting your site

Once your web site has been completed you need to advertise it to the public. It's no good having a web site if nobody knows about it. 

The best way to promote your site is through the internet. We provide a search engine ranking and optimization service. This means that we script your site using important key words that your audience would use to find you. Your site is then submitted to the various search engines such as Google, MSN and Yahoo. Once the search engines have crawled your site (this can take up to a month) it will be available to a global community.

Search Engine Optimization (SEO) can take time and there are a number of factors that can help (and hinder) your site. If you would like any further information please feel free to get in touch.

Another great way to promote your web site is through printed marketing materials. Using the graphics created for the web site is often the best solution as this creates a brand image. We design the following media to your specifications:
