Everything from ‘ooh, that looks nice’ to ‘how does it do that?’

Full Site Development a.k.a. starting from scratch

A well designed site will generate will improve public perception of your business, generate leads, increase sales, reduce support costs - the sky’s the limit. Whether you’re looking to expand your existing web presence or start something completely new, we can help. Start by telling us what your site should do and we’ll take it from there.

If you’re not sure quite what you need then don't worry - thanks to seven years of experience developing sites for organisations both large and small we we have developed a pretty good idea of what works. We appreciate that you may not know your FTP from your PHP (why should you?) and will ensure that we make both the development and maintenance of your site as simple as possible.

CMS Implementation a.k.a. making it tick

CMS’ - Content Management Systems - are the engines that power pretty much every site on the web. In theory they make managing huge sites simple, even for users with little technical ability. In practice, this isn’t always the case.

Fortunately, we’ve found our own little slice of CMS nirvana in Expression Engine. What’s more, we’ve been building sites with it for years and know it pretty darn well.

We often convert other sites to EE, or implement EE for other web developers, as it makes running sites both large and small a great deal easier. Would you like us to save you a headache?

We’re getting lots of increased visits to the new site … This is due to an increase in the numbers of revisits … so the improvements seem to be working! And we’re getting enquiries! - Peter Backman, Horizons
