What software do you use to create my web site?
Creating web sites requires a combination of the best tools and knowing how and when to use them effectively.
For web page development, we use Macromedia Dreamweaver while for graphics we use Corel and Microsoft Image Composer. Javascript development is carried out within Microsoft VS InterDev. A whole collection of software utilities come into play for smaller specific jobs.
During development we run sites on an in-house server which is configured to run the same way as the servers we publish to on the web. This enables us to test your site thoroughly before publishing. back...

When did you develop your first web site?

Where will my site be hosted?
Your site is hosted on one of our UK-based dedicated servers. These are run within our partner's state-of-the-art facility in London using quick servers and excellent network throughput. back...
Are any special browser settings needed to access your sites?
No special browser settings or plugins are required to access any of the functionality in our web site packages. Our sites are designed to work with the older version 4 browsers as well as the current versions. This makes our sites accessible to a very wide audience and ensures your pages display as intended on the widest range of browsers. We also pay particular attention to the way your site displays on different sized monitors and text size settings. Designing sites using this approach also makes the web pages understandable to search engines encouraging better rankings.
Having a web site designed to be accessible to the widest audience clearly makes good sense when trying to communicate with others. back...
