Website Design

The design of your website is a reflection of your company. It should portray the professionalism and standards you provide to your clients. It should appeal to your target audience. It should provide them the information they are looking for easily and pleasingly.

Perhaps you want your clients to have the ability to purchase products online, or to use an online form to contact you with detailed enquiries regarding your products. You may want a database-driven website to allow your visitors or employees to enter information or update content using a web browser. These are aspects of your site that need to be determined as part of the design phase.

If you simply want a page on the internet or you need a large, complex site, we can work with you to achieve your aim. Our experience ranges from small sites through to sites for corporations and government departments. Our Portfolio shows examples of our work.

We pride ourselves on standards compliance, which means that your site will be guaranteed to comply with the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) Internet standards for HTML, XHTML and CSS. The result will be a site that will grow as standards are enhanced, rather than one that needs to be re-designed because of an initial lack of adherence to those standards.

These days anyone can develop a website. It takes time and technical knowledge to develop a website well and to ensure it is robust enough to withstand the test of time.

webRefresh believes it's important for you to have your OWN presence on the web, not one that has been mass-produced. If you surf the web regularly you may notice that many sites look very similar. In an extreme case you may even lose a visitor who thinks he/she has already visited your site and leaves. Each site we develop is based on initial consultation with you, from which ideas are generated for the way your site should look and behave.

A small site will normally require 6-10 pages to provide enough information and functionality to be successful. If you require a site of more than 10 pages we will include, as part of your website design, a search engine for your site. Search engines are regarded as the most useful feature of larger websites. Visitors to your site will often leave immediately if they can't find the information they want. A site search engine will encourage them to stay.

For adhoc design requirements, such as the design of a logo, brochure or specific page designs, please contact us.
