French based company providing domestic and commercial decking, fencing, railing and cladding products to the UK market recognised the need for a UK style website to sell their european products. The website will be used as a marketing tool, especially when giving client explanations of the finer details. A tab system, drop down menu, multiple full screen slideshows were used to enhance the customers online experience.
We have just gone live and the feedback has been amazing, the site looks great and has exceeded our expectations by some margin. Rhys has been a pleasure to work with and a real asset in getting the web site and brand off the ground. He understood the brief right from the outset and took the time to listen to our feedback and delivered exactly what we asked for. The whole process has been really easy and stress free. A web site is an integral part of any business and I cannot recommend Rhys enough. If you are looking for a web developer who will go the extra mile Rhys is your man.

A considerable time is spent looking at competition within your industry, and looking for inspiration from other websites and projects.
Finding the correct image for your business is vital part of the project and first impression for users - time is allocated for this reason. As a strong believer in planning, your concept will be mapped out from start to finish always working to the next stage to ensure a prompt delivery.
Design research is generally work that is carried out behind the scenes in order to achieve the next stage.
A bespoke design will be developed and presented for you to use as your online presence.
It is important to get the correct design as it will be judged by your target audience, and help generate leads for you.
Each concept is a custom design and never a ‘template’, I believe forcing a company in to an ‘off the shelf’ template doesn’t work - or more importantly, have the desired impression on users.
You can expect to see the concept in a pdf format.
Any changes will be made or remade until you are 100% happy with the proposed design layout
The idea is to get a concept that you are happy for it to represent your business, so any changes will be made as requested - once the design is signed off it will be built in to a web format for you.
Once the design is signed off the web build will begin, transferring a graphic concept in to a fully functional web format.
All structural parts, navigation and images will be applied at this stage, ready for content to be applied at a later stage.
The site will be tested in various browsers and functionality will be checked for usability.
This is to ensure the user experience is positive.
The content provided for the site will be applied to all the individual pages.
The options are your text and images can be provided by yourself or this can be arranged for you (at an additional cost).
The site will be set up, so it will be in a position for you to take a look.
This way you can experience the initial impression with all aspects in place.
At this stage the website is presented to you before going live.
You can expect to have a temporary link for you to view the website on your computer.
The site can be checked and you can confirm before we go live to the public.
Once the website goes live, Google will be notified by a number of signals.
This will be put in place prior to going live - to speed up the process for google to find your website and in turn help users using search engines
Websites will be tracked, and many detailed statistics about your website's traffic and sources can be accessed at any point.
These stats can include visitors, visitor locations, time spent on site, flow of pages visited and much more.
The idea of tracking is so you can instantly monitor the websites performance and use this data to help with your websites progression.
Looking for ongoing relationships there are may options available for your website, as your business grows so should your website.
There are a range of options available but always happy to assist clients with any queries.
