Website Design Services

Here at Creative Technology, we have been developing and publishing computer software since 1988. We began designing websites in 1995, when we first began distributing and selling our software via the internet. (If you would like to know more about our current software products, please see the Software pages.)

We can offer a unique combination of expertise to our web design clients. Not only do we design pretty pages and build e-commerce systems - we also learn about your business and your customers, and use this understanding to make sure that you get the broadest possible benefit from your web presence.

In conjunction with our consultancy services, we can also help to build a broader IT strategy for your company. Your website is important - but it needs to be backed up by a comprehensive, fully thought-out strategy which makes your staff and your IT systems (whether online or offline) work effectively and efficiently.

If you are new to the web, or looking to establish your company's first online presence, have a look at our First Steps page for some introductory information and ideas.

When you have planned your strategy, you will need to register a domain name and hosting service. We now provide a range of web hosting solutions.

Like any design job, the cost of setting up a website can vary enormously. Our Web Design page gives a brief guide to what you might expect to pay to design and maintain different kinds of web presence.

E-Business and E-commerce are the buzz words of the year, but they are used (and misused) to describe a wide range of different systems and applications. To find out what ebusiness and ecommerce could bring to your company, have a look at our Introduction to E-Business page.

If you want to sell to the public online and accept credit card payments, a secure ordering and transaction processing system is essential. Security is a complex and highly technical area, but our Secure Systems page provides a painless introduction.

Our Auditing and Reporting service is aimed at managers in companies who outsource the design and maintenance of their website, or wish to bring in an outside contractor for a new web project. Our experience is that people in this position may have difficulty writing specification documents and design briefs, because they are not experts in the field. We can work with you to produce reports and specification documents which put your ideas into a technical context, and ensure that your designers or sub-contractors deliver what you need.

As computer networks become essential to businesses of all sizes, Intranets are increasingly popular as a way of managing and distributing information internally. But what is an intranet, and what can it do? Read our Intranet page to find out.

Finally, our Example Sites page contains links to a number of sites we have designed and worked on.
