First Time Here

Bursting with goodness

Your website needs a content management system.

That's because you need to be creating all the time.  Words to tell your story.  Images to communicate your brand.  Video to talk directly to people.

A good system can handle it all and more as new things come along.  A good business uses their website to talk to the world.  Often.

The web is made to be lived in.  Your website should be an online home.

It should be easy to use.  Easy to change.  Flip the way it looks when your business develops.  Communicate through it.  Daily.

Everyone who uses our sites says one thing.  "Easy".  It's because we've made that website with them in mind.  Welcome home. 

Something quite different

Unless you're grand, don't spend thousands on a website.

You're on the ground.  So are we.  Making affordable websites.  We also want to eat.  So we have a plan to do both.

We've designed our business to make Content Management System websites for £450+vat.  We use technology to fine-tune our processes.  We do that fanatically.

About Drupal

A website should be alive.  Lived in.  It must be easy to use, easy to update.  It must also be reasonably cheap (in time or money) to keep fresh. That way it has half a chance to be loved.

If that is what a website needs to be, then what it needs without a doubt is

  • a content management system to live on
  • someone who can help keep it hooked up to the latest and greatest (be it Twitter, Facebook or the next big thing)
  • someone who loves it

We use Drupal, one of the most happening content management systems out there.  It's full of life.  Thousands develop on it.  Millions use it.  We're smitten by it and have learnt to use it to it's fullest.

That means that we can do the other thing we're committed to (and which is important).  Making a website a totally affordable proposition to any business.  We know that is about how we organise ourselves.  It's about our processes and our continued focus on using technology to keep a heavyweight website costing a lightweight £450+vat.  It's also about making sure that we build a website to do everything a good website should.

This includes:-

  • an easy to update, change and manage website
  • images which resize automatically to fit the place they're given
  • structure to allow content to be categorised and reused across the site (keeping it fresh and lively)
  • innovative use of navigation, which can also be changed and updated
  • email newsletters with subscription forms and unsubscription links
  • Google Analytics to keep on top of who is visiting and where from
  • a contact form which allows people to email you via your website

Most bigger organisations would be more than happy with that as their website.  We want smaller businesses to expect the same.

Once a website is live, it needs to be on a server where it is upgraded (for security updates) and given a healthy environment to live in (not on a server with thousands of other sites including dodgy ones).  We host and keep technically fit every site we do.  We currently charge a small £120+vat per year to do that.  It also means you have a long term relationship with us - so that together we can keep your website fresh.
