Sometimes it's difficult to see the wood for the trees and this is where we can help; We will discuss your business with you and identify any strengths or selling points that can be built upon for the site.

It goes without saying that we break down your business and services so that we can organise the sections into a workable site map.

Ever heard the saying "It's an art not a science"? Well this is especially true for web design in Broadstairs as one site mock-up can be created in a matter of hours whilst the next could take days.

Creativity cannot always be pinned down to a time scale but our designers are committed to getting the right feel for your business. See our portfolio...

We implement as many SEO design features as we can from the outset in order to give your site the best chance when it hits the search engines. See our SEO Approach page...

We include a .co.uk/.com domain name in our packages, this covers either a new domain registration or a transfer in form an existing host.

Once we have registered your chosen available domain name we then configure the e-mail addresses of your choice. Nothing looks better and more professional on a business card than you@yourbusiness.co.uk rather than yourbusiness@hotmail.co.uk

Helpful Hint !
It is a good idea to check the availability of the domain you want. If the domain name you wanted is taken, then choose a variation of the name.

For example
If you wanted www.yourbusinessname.co.uk but its taken, then try
www.your-businessiname.co.uk or www.your-business-name.co.uk.

Things to consider!
.org domains are usually for organisations like charities.
.com domains are usually for either, American companies or companies that sell their products/services outside the UK.
