Web Design Solutions and Services
These are the main types of website that we build for our clients:
Content Management System
We specialise in building dynamic websites using a Content Management System. These types of website run off a database, which makes managing content much easier. The greatest benefit for the client is that site content can be updated and new content written by accessing the control panel using any Internet browser (Internet Explorer, Firefox, Opera, Chrome, Safari etc.). Examples of sites we have built on this platform include ChelmsfordMencap.org.uk and SteveShowPosse.com.
Community Sites and Social Networks
We also build more complex sites using a community content management system, which not only allows owners to update their own content via the Internet, but also allows other people to participate in building the site, either by invitation only, or by requesting permission from the site owner. Every user can have their own blog, join discussion forums, share stories and comment on articles. User/member profile pages are catered for. These sites also allow for members only sections, so is ideal if you wish part of a website to be open to the public, and other parts to be for employees/members only. 5 Elements Martial Arts uses this product to manage their club and update members with latest news and events.
Efficient Static HTML Websites
These are what still make up the core of the Internet, and are the quickest and most affordable option for small businesses. They consist of at least one page, but can have additional pages and contact forms. We can also embed Google Maps and Google Calendars. However, they cannot be updated by the client. We can also add blogs to these sites, or build them as stand alone websites in their own right. Runners and Riders is a good example of this. These sites require no maintenance once built.
Web Directories and Community Portals
We can also set up web portals and directories. Essex Portal is built using this technology. These are the largest and most complex websites that we provide.
We are!
