Designing websites is our speciality. We don't use templates - our web designs are 100% unique and designed from scratch just for you. Each website is hand coded in XHTML / HTML5 together with CSS, resulting in W3C standards compliance and accessibility. Additionally, we test each website in all popular browsers to make sure that they are cross-browser-friendly. Website graphics are optimised for web to ensure fast loading speeds and well-thought out navigation helps your customers get what they want quickly.

Web Design Process

The length of time it takes to design and build a website depends on the scope of work - it could take as little as 3 weeks or longer than 3 months. If you can tell us exactly what you need done, we can give a more accurate timeline.

Website Maintenance

If we take on your job, we will design and build it from scratch. We only offer maintenance to websites that we designed and built.

For minor changes, we charge our standard minutely rate (so you don't have to pay for a whole hour of maintenance if it only takes 5 minutes). For structural changes, we will provide you with a quote based on what needs to be done.

For frequent maintenance, you might consider a CMS (Content management System) so that you can maintain the website yourself, or a monthly retainer, whereby you pay us monthly for an hour or more of our time at a discounted rate.

Website + Logo Special

If you commission us to design a website, you also have the option of us designing the logo for the same company for free.
