Standards-compliant web design. We create clear, eye-catching, professional designs, that are easy to read and navigate, and compliant with modern web standards. That last bit - 'web standards' - is important, and ignored by many web design companies in Edinburgh: this is what ensures your website can be viewed by everyone, no matter what computer and software they have, for years to come.

Ecommerce & online stores. Start accepting online payments with your new website, streamline your business, and draw in new sales. Nowadays online shopping is a secure and established way of doing business. We can custom-build a shopping cart for your website, to match the products you wish to sell. There are many solutions available, including PayPal and WorldPay.

Photography & 360° virtual tours. If your website will carry photographs then it's vital these look great. This might be a physical product, the interior of a property or a performance art like trapeze. The photos should be in-focus, well-composed, with good colour balance, contrast and lighting. If you don't have your own photographs already, we can take them for you as part of the design process.

Content management systems. If you plan on making regular changes to the text or images on your website, then a CMS will enable you to do this at the click of a button, without the ongoing cost of a web designer. We can custom-create a system that will allow you to easily make key changes to your site from anywhere with an internet connection.

Domain names. One of the first things to do as part of the design process is to decide on a domain name (address on the web) for your website, for example: edinburgh-web-design-company.co.uk. This is something you will come to use heavily in communicating with customers, and it's important we get it right. We will need to consider target audience, memorability, pronounceability, and search engine ranking.

Web hosting & email. Once you have your new website, you need somewhere to keep it where it can be viewed on the web (hosting space). Our hosting packages are aimed at customers who prefer some assistance, although they are open to anyone. If you already have your own web space, we can easily work with that to create your site and any new email accounts you need.

Search engine optimisation. Part of building any website is the process of building a path to it! We'll start your website by researching the most appropriate keyphrases that correspond to your products and services, for example "web developer Edinburgh" or "web design Lothian". Your website will be built around these. We will also code your site to W3C standards. These factors will ensure that your website is delicious food for search engines.

Website updates & maintenance. If you already have a website of your own, or are in need of an update to a website we have developed for you, then we're happy to make any changes you might need. We can make updates quickly and work with virtually any web technology you already have in place. If you require a substantial addition to your website, then we will provide a free quote for this after consulting with you.
