Web Design / Development

There are a number of ingredients needed to create a successful website. The web design must look good, be usable, accessible and clearly convey your message with well written relevant content. Designing and coding a website to meet these requirements is VITAL and means fully addressing a number of areas.

Good web development means considering all of those things; Which means that someone visiting your site will easily understand what your product or services is, they will be able to use the site intuitively, the site will work equally well regardless of what browser or platform the user has, and will perform well in the search engine listings bringing in more sales for your business.

YOUR specific requirements

Every project is unique with its own set of specific requirements to be met. To get you thinking about what criteria YOUR website should satisfy you could consider the following list of questions:

Do you want to maintain the content yourself? All of it, or only some of it? - for example a latest news section.
Do you have an existing identity / brand image that needs to be reflected in the web design?
Who do you expect to be visiting your website?
What is the purpose of your website? Marketing, product catalogue, provision of information or a service?
Do any of the sections in the site need to be secure?
Would you wish to take payments online?

Content Management Systems

A content management system (cms) makes it quick and easy for you to make updates to the content of your website. Here at Infinite Eye we can build you a Content Management System that will best fit your needs (based on MAGMA our own modular system), or we can help you configure and maintain an off-the-shelf product that you have selected.

Usability

The quality of the user experience is a primary consideration in the design of any product - this is a vital component of any web design project. It is the key to the success or failure of your website. We can analyse your existing website and determine how it can be modified to produce better results. Find out more.

Accessibility

Website's must be designed with the end-user in mind. The needs of people who might find it difficult to use the web must be fully considered, for example:

The physically impaired or learning disabled.
Inexperienced users or those with older technology.
Non-English speakers.
Users behind strict firewall's.

Accessible coding is also vital for search engines.

Search Engine Optimisation

The best time to consider search engine optimisation is right at the start. To perform well in search engines your website needs to have good relevant content which contains your keywords and phrases. In addition the code should be accessible in order for the search engine robots and spiders (the small programs which analyse your website content and add it to the search engines). Complicated, poorly designed code can mean that these robots do not see all the content in your site making it difficult or impossible to find. Find out more.
