Website Design and Development. [»](«)

Our websites are designed using only Cascading Style Sheets

Search engines will love your website! Your visitors will love your website!

No bloated WYSIWYG HTML code so your new website loads super fast, displays well in all browsers, prints properly and saves you expensive bandwidth costs.

Our code is fully W3C validated.

Search Engine Optimization. [»](«)

Every website Google optimized.

You very quickly appear on its pages so you get business ASAP. You get a free Google submission, Google sitemap and Google Analytics to encourage quick ranking.

Our websites rank either at the top of Google or in the top ten so they are visible to your visitors. Clients can expect up to 25,000 visitors per year.

Content Management System Websites. [»](«)

School and NGO websites generally require frequent updating. Having no knowledge of HTML dissuades site owners from updating their own websites.

Content Management Systems permit DIY page editing and creation using a simple interface.

We use ModX, Joomla, Drupal, Toko and Wordpress for our CMS websites.

Use Our Usability Experience. [»](«)

Most websites have trouble with usability. They fail to profile, talk down to their visitors, pepper the website with jargon, acronyms and marketese.

Without good usability, you are dead in the water. We can prepare a comprehensive report on your website.

Our editing skills result in persuasive and informative content - just what your visitors are looking for!

Database driven Websites. [»](«)

If you have a list of ever changing products or any other information that lends itslf to tabular display, then a database driven website is something you might consider.

We use PHP with MySQL to create dynamic websites with fully searchable content and an admin backend that you can add/edit and delete entries with.

Website Maintenance. [»](«)

Rather than negotiate every time, most of our clients take advantage of our maintenance package.

Clients get small updates and regular website search optimization for a fixed monthly fee.

This starts at R300 per month and rises depending on the amount of activity and the hosting package. For around R10 per day, your website is kept spick & span!

Website Design Courses. [»](«)

We felt that commercial courses included many subjects that the average webmaster would either never use or rarely use.

Our course is run on a weekday basis over 8 weeks and offers 40 hours of tuition. It is run on a one-on-one basis, assumes no prior knowledge of website design.

If you are thinking of website design as a business or hobby then contact us.

Hosting and Domain Registration. [»](«)

We use several Service Providers which keeps them on their toes. Our hosting fees are incorporated into our Website Maintenance Plan (see below).

For 90% of our clients, a small package is more than adequate and can be upgraded easily if necessary.

You will be able to see the activities of visitors in your website through browser based statistics.

Two Websites Under Development

St. Lucia Guest House

A personal project with a practical application. A B&B site under my full control for once. The domain is new and we shall see in a few months how it competes with established tourism websites.

A LOT of CSS3 has been used and for the first time, an IE6 sniffer has been used, I think that website designers are finally getting the zig with IE6 and the work involved to get it to look remotely reasonable when a lot new stuff has been used. The website displays fine in IE7 and 8,



Drizit

Drizit manufactures pollution control products for a variety of scenarios as well as providing a 24 hour cleanup service.

With over 300 products, the website used a database to organize them. The client also wants eCommerce so we will install it via Virtual Card Systems.


Featured Website

St. Lucia Guest House

I have always believed that a website should be, above all else, usable and that top priority should be given to the needs of the visitor. In this case, the visitors are going to be those who are looking for accommodation in an environment where they are helped to get the best from their visit.

The header is simple - two images and some CSS. The text is real search indexable text but not enought to make the header look fussy.

The content is sparse but informative and - we hope - persuasive. I dislike Flash slideshows and a small clickable jquery/CSS gallery enables to look as visuals only as much as they want to.

The left column on every page has the full contact details and a small contact form for an ad hoc enquiry so every opportunity is taken to make it easy for the business to be contacted. There is a small map with a link to a larger one.

The right column has local info panels which are visible on every page. These can be of any form. In this case, I have used Postit pad pages that everyone is familiar with.
