Custom
Web Site Design
The Internet can be a powerful tool and is something that cannot
be ignored.
Having your own web site can help to sell your products and services
either directly through e-commerce or indirectly through advertising.
Whether you're interested in an original design for your web site
or would like a re-design of an existing web site, Network Connections
can help you. Your web design project will be designed and created
from scratch for your business in a style appropriate for your specific
area or industry.
We ensure that our work is of a high quality with a clean and uncluttered
layout.
We design our web site navigation to be uncomplicated so that your
visitors will be able to use your site without problems. Our past
clients have ranged in diversity from the NHS and Manchester Metropolitan
University through to sole traders such as wildlife artist Eric
Wilson. Please feel free to browse through some of our work on our
clients page.
E-Commerce Web Design
The number of people using the Internet for shopping continues to
increase year by year. If the shopper has already decided upon the
type of product they wish to purchase, they are becoming increasingly
more likely to purchase this from a shop with an Internet presence.
If you're looking to expand your business so that you can capture
part of this market, we can help you. We have specialist knowledge
on setting up e-commerce sites and the associated systems required
to take payments securely online.
Catalogue and Brochure sites
Many companies prefer to have a fairly simple brochure-style web
site for helping
to sell their products or provide extra information to their customers.
It is
important that these companies can be found by new and existing
customers
via the Internet. Such sites are often less costly compared to e-commerce
sites
but still have a huge importance in establishing a company's online
presence. Communications are especially important as many people
prefer to use email
rather than the telephone. In today's world, a company without an
on-line Internet presence is regarded by many people as not worth
trading with.
Pricing
The following is a rough guide to our prices.
Brochure-style sites from £200.
Online stores from £400.
Site modifications from £10.
Quality Assurance
We are committed to providing quality web sites and services. This
is reflected by our consistent approach to quality management in
both the code behind the web site and the overall management of
the project. We pay particular attention to W3C specifications and
hand-code the majority of our sites in order to ensure that they
follow very rigid standards. In addition to this, we also test our
sites using different browsers to make sure that none of your visitors
will encounter problems. At Network Connections, we strive to make
sure that our projects are completed
within you desired timescale, specification and budget.
Ordering your web site
A web design project undertaken by Network Connections will go thorugh
the following steps:
Outline quotation - We will provide you
with an outline figure as to how much we believe your web site design
is likely to cost.
Specification and consultation - We will
require you to provide us with as much information as you can about
how you would like the site to look (colour, site navigation etc)
and an estimated number of pages you expect the site to have. If
you like any particular sites, we would like you to provide addresses
for these sites and explain what you like about these. We can then
produce a detailed
specification of what we will provide, how long we expect the process
to take, and also provide a detailed quote for the work. Providing
that you are happy with our proposal, we then ask you for a deposit
consisting of 50% of the overall costs.
Mockup - We will produce one or more graphical
representations as to how your web site may look. At this stage,
we value any input regarding likes and dislikes. It is important
to note that we will not start work on any site unless ALL the site
content has been provided.
Development - Once the
specification and the overall layout of the design has been approved,
we begin developing the site. This includes any graphical work,
coding, script writing and integration testing that will be required.
Testing - A 'Beta' version of the site will be made available for
testing at various points during development.
Deployment - The remaining
balance for the work is paid and the site becomes live. We then
submit the site to various search engines so that future visitors
can find your site.
