About the Professional Website

Content Management System

With our sophisticated Content Management System powering it, your website will be a fully functional online solution for your business. While many companies now offer Content Management Systems, most don't come close to the depth and functionality of ours.

This Content Management System gives you the freedom of editing and updating your website yourself - without waiting or paying for us to do it for you! It is so simple to learn and use that even if you are a novice computer user, you will be able to update your website quickly and easily.

Professional Graphic Design

Nice looking websites aren't necessarily functional websites - except when it comes to the Professional Website. Our professional graphic design team has mastered the ability of balancing design with functionality and search engine optimisation, so they will create a professional design for your website that matches your branding and appeals to your target audience while still getting results. And unlike many other developers, we don't use templates - so your design is completely unique.

Add-on Tools

Think of the Professional Website as the foundation of your online presence - you can add to this base with a variety of add-on tools to get more customers, make more sales and save more time in your business. We have a wide range of tools that have been designed by business people for business people, so they are simple to use and focused on getting tangible results. Our range includes ecommerce, communication and interactive tools to engage and inform your website visitors - and get them to take action!

Living Business Solution

You will never need to buy another website again, because your Professional Website is a living solution that can grow as your business grows. Our team can quickly and easily add new tools and functionality to your website through the Content Management System, or even redesign the front end, with little or no downtime. Plus, because we want to provide our clients with the latest technology, you automatically get all our software updates for free.

Exceeds International Standards

All our websites conform to the international coding and usability standards of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). This means your website is built with the most effective and up to date code and can be accessed by all internet users on any browser. Your website will also meet the Website Standards Association's technical, business purpose, usability and functionality standards.

Project Management

Many of our clients have worked with other website developers and unfortunately their projects nearly always went over time and over budget. But with our streamlined project management system and dedicated team monitoring every step of the process, you can be sure we will meet every deadline and exceed your expectations at all times.

Search Engine Friendly

We know how essential it is for your business to have a presence in the search engines, so our software engineers build a range of features into your website that will ensure it gets found by search engines and help your business achieve a high ranking. These features include an dynamic XML sitemap, sitemap page and simple meta tag management, plus accurate coding that enables the search engines to read your website.

Coaching and Education

Your Consultant is an expert on all things Internet, so they will be expertly guiding you through this entire process.  They will help you determine what you want to achieve online and ensure your finished solution meets these needs.  This support continues after your website is live, with ongoing support to help you get the best from your website and access to all our educational resources, including webinars, articles and ebooks.

The Development Process

The first thing you'll probably want to know is how long the development process will take. Well, there's actually no definite answer to that question - it depends on two factors:

The depth and scope of the project - If your website is complex or requires custom work, then it will take longer than the standard timeframe. Once we know all your specifications, we can give you an accurate completion date.

The timeliness of your responses - There are many stages throughout the process where we require something from you, and the sooner you get this to us, the sooner the project will be completed. If your responses are delayed, this will extend your project timeline.
