Making the complicated simple

Optimise your website

Potential customers must be able to find and use your site easily

Being seen – Search engines

To take advantage of Search Engines – a valuable source of viewers – your site must be designed and built to fit in with the way they work. A few hours' work is usually enough to make a considerable difference.

Increasing your audience – Accessibility

We do our best to make your site as accessible as possible for as big an audience as possible. We take into account the fact that some users might be unable to see or hear very well, might be unable to use a mouse or keyboard, or perhaps have a text-only screen, a small screen or a slow Internet connection. More information.

Ease of use – Structure and content

The website should be presented in manageable sections within a logical structure that is easy to follow. If a site is difficult to use or understand, many potential customers will simply move on to another website.

Look or speed? – Graphics

Graphics can greatly enhance a website but they can also be distracting and irritating, and can dramatically slow down your site. Images should not come between the user and the information they want. We strive for a balance between design and function.

Part of your business – Integration

A website is not a brochure or a static magazine advert. Your website will be most valuable when it is integrated into your daily business activities. We help you to do this, suggesting simple, efficient methods of using your website to its full effect. This can often also lead to identifying ways in which the administration of your business can be streamlined.

Example website

Cairngorms Chamber of Commerce

Cairngorms Chamber of Commerce

A database-driven website which is managed by the Chamber and updated by members.

We suggested merging the Chamber's off-line database with a new website database and this has greatly increased the administration's efficiency and effectiveness - and saved a lot of money!
