WEB SITE DESIGN

The internet and the services it offers are constantly evolving, therefore the functionality you require from your web site, may grow rapidly.

When programming a web site we always keep this in mind, allowing for easy expansion to the site, rather than a "throw it away and start again" approach, which can be the result of poor planning and design.

Glossary

When we produce a web site we usually prefer to host it as well. This offers our client many advantages and services. We host our sites with a company who not only offer the latest high speed servers with high unlimited bandwidth usage, but also maintain up-to-date security policies. Hosting costs are a small percentage of a sites cost, but can make a significant difference to a web sites overall performance and security.

Check Domain Names

DOMAIN REGISTRATION

If you have already registered your domain name we can easily have it transferred to our hosting companies servers. If you wish to register a domain name through us and save the transfer process we will be happy to oblige. You may like to check the availability of domain names through our 'Domain name checking facility'.

PROGRAMMING & DATABASE

Many people are now realising the benefits that a dynamic web site has to offer. By dynamic we mean anything from a simple discussion forum to a database-driven online shop.

It can be arranged that site management and simple updating can be carried out from a password-protected area of your site, thus enabling you to keep your site looking fresh yourself, ( weekly bulletins, prices etc.).

E-MAIL MANAGEMENT

E-mail is a very important part of today's business environment. At Virtual Designs we are able to offer our clients their own virtual mail server. This we can configure to supply as many separate password-protected mail boxes as needed. The configuration permutations for e-mail and e-mail aliases are endless and we will not even begin to convey all that is possible.

SEARCH ENGINE MANAGEMENT

This is an area that draws much discussion, as the search engines constantly move the goal posts. We are happy to carry out extended search engine management on your behalf and can either quote a fixed sum for a set time period or set a monthly payment for as long as you require it.

IMAGING SERVICES

Stimulating and visually pleasing web sites require carefully selected and prepared images. We are able to scan from any existing media you may have e.g. photographs and slides. These can then be converted into the most suitable format for use with the internet, as well as incorporating logos and bespoke graphics.
