Web Design
A strong web presence is an invaluable tool, allow you to inform and interact with your target audience – wherever they are in the world. Our in-house creative team design beautiful, effective websites which can help you get your message across – whether that message is in ten languages, or just your own.
A site suitable for you
Today's web is very different to that of ten or even five years ago. Advances in web technology give web content the potential to be more than simply text and images – video, animation, and even complex applications can be served to visitors through a web browser. Not every site – or every organisation – requires these advanced features, however, and adding more functionality than is necessary can confuse visitors and get in the way of the site's message.
Our studio team can talk through your requirements with you and help you to put together a site which is as complex – or simple – as you require. And by following best practices at every stage, we can ensure that your site is accessible and future-compatible.
Well designed, inside and out
One of the main complexities of web design is that even an attractively designed and well laid-out site can become an unreadable mess when viewed on a different type of hardware, or even in a different browser. For example, many sites do not take into account the requirements of blind or partially sighted users who use screenreaders (an audio web-browser which 'reads' a web page out loud). By following best practices such as web standards and accessibility guidelines, we ensure that your site will work correctly, whatever equipment your visitors use. And of course, this is all undertaken without affecting the visual or functional impact of the final product.
Keeping it simple
Web technologies can be confusing, with plenty of acronyms and obscure jargon. We won't try to blind you with terminology or specifications – if there's anything you're unclear on, you can talk to your project manager or one of the studio team at any time. We can talk you through any technical information in plain English, so you know exactly what's happening with your project. Or if you'd just like to know a little more about web technology and issues, you can check out our web design knowledge base in our resources section.
Already have a site?
If you already have a site that you're happy with, we offer a full localisation service – whatever your multilingual needs, we can help. Whatever sort of site you have, we can advise you on the best way to deliver multilingual or accessible content to your visitors. And our web experience means that we can easily adapt to working alongside your internal web team, external web provider, or even handle it ourselves using the original files.
