What we can do for you
Below is information on how we can help you set up a web site.
You can also get more details on this process at this link
Designing the site
- We will design and set up a web site the way you want and which meets accessible web standards
- We will help you through the process of structuring the site and adding the text that gets your message across
- The site will be designed 'from scratch' to meet W3C validation (this means that the mark-up will be clean and will maximize the chance of appearing in search engines). It will be designed using 'style sheets' which allow us to make changes to the layout and appearance of the site quickly and consistently
- We will optimize your images for the web - digital images or scans from your -so that they download quickly for site visitors but still look great on the site
- We can also create PDF's of any of your leaflets, posters, reports etc so that these can be on your site too. These can be created from Word, PowerPoint, QuarkXPress, or InDesign. PDF's can also have bookmarks and hyperlinks for easier navigation.
Adding multimedia
Video from Katrina Slack's site
- We have a lot of experience in producing soundtracks so will add your music to the site or add information in audio format to make the site more accessible to people who find reading difficult
- We can optimize your music tracks to enhance the clarity and volume, convert them to mp3 and upload them to your site
- We can add video to your site so that your movies can be embedded on your site and will appear on your site or we can link to videos on MySpace and YouTube if you prefer.
Getting your site live
'firebird' by linda conboy
- We will help you get your site online, supporting you to find a web address (domain name), find a hosting company (to provide the web space so that the site can be accessed on the web) and uploading your site to the web
- We will look at ways of making sure your site appears in search engines such as Google and Yahoo.
Updating your site
- Once your site is online, we can update it for you. We only charge for the actual time we spend updating the site, so the smaller the changes, the lower the cost
- We can make changes to the design, correct any errors and add new content to the site
- We can also train you to update your site. We can point you towards low cost and free software to do this. We can also support you if you hit a problem to make sure the site is updated the way you want it.
