Web Development
Beautifully crafted, slick websites that enhance the image of your business and give customers confidence.
We like to take advantage of the free tools that are available from industry giants such as Google and Yahoo! to give you a great solution at a great price.
Complete adherence to web standards means your site will work as intended in all modern web browsers (IE7+, Firefox, Safari, Chrome, Opera) and optionally on mobile devices to maximise your audience.
E-Mail Newsletters
Keep in touch with your customers by periodically sending them a newsletter to update them on your products or services. Marketing e-mail guidelines require that an "unsubscribe" option be included with every such message so we use a service called MailChimp to ensure full compliance and to avoid having your message end up in the Spam folder.
We can design your newsletter in the style of your website or brand and we have corporate communications expertise to assist in developing an effective message.
Why not add a Contact Us page to your website that will automatically collect e-mail addresses for your newsletter distribution? We can build this for you.
How effective is your web presence?
Does your website pay for itself? Who is visiting your site - are they potential customers? Is your site getting your message across?
All our sites are created with a Google Analytics account that gathers information about the visitors to your site. We will review this information and send you a periodic report to help you evolve your web presence.
Google Search
Our analysis of traffic to the sites we manage suggests that some 70% - 80% of search referrals come from Google. So it makes sense to give special attention to how your site appears in Google's many search sites, including Location based search.
We can help you devise a strategy to attract customers via Google.

Our approach is different.
We work on the principle that IT is all about providing good Information to support your business - it's not just about the computers and the software. Therefore we like to keep things simple and that tends to mean it costs less in the long run. If you can do the job better using a pen and paper we won't try to sell you a sophisticated technological solution.
