Web Facilitation
Using a CMS (Content Management System) to build the basis of a site can be a lot to take in, especially if you are not web savvy. There are a lot of reasons to use a CMS, firstly its a tried and tested method to quickly get something up and visual, it also allows you to work on the site in a live environment enabling you to test pages before actually publishing them.
There are thousands of plugins available for your CMS, plugins can be paid or free plugins in that some give you the basics and others have more in-depth features allowing your site to have the look and feel of sites that cost large businesses tens of thousands of pounds.
There are several layers to starting off on a good foot with websites, this can include Search Engine Optimization, Web Analytics/Tracking, Visitor Engagement and even content creation. These are extra services but don't worry we can provide you with simple guidelines and tools to enable you to carry out these tasks yourself. However if needs be I can carry out these extra services based on my hourly rate.
Web Builder As Standard
A web builder is a plugin/extension that allows the user to quickly update webpages without the need to delve into normal complications usually found in the backend of a CMS.
The beauty of a web builder is that it allows the user to visually edit the site and see the changes as they happen, you can even change or add content using a mobile phone or tablet anywhere where you have a internet connection. The web builder comes as standard, no extra hidden costs, and as part of my service I will also show you where you can get royalty free images for your site or if you want i can show you where you can get more specific imagery.
The biggest issue faced by clients is understanding how their content will fit into a structured website, to help with this I will set up a each site will base demo data which can be swapped out like for like ensuring that the look and feel is maintained going forward.. Remember for any website content is king, so the more info added the better your visitors and search engines will read and trust the site.
Web Development
Web development is taking a site or app to a stage where you either extend something to include specific tools for your visitors or create a new mobile app to engage users or provide a service. This could be as simple as extending your website to include e-commerce software to enable you to sell online or even create the next facebook with creation of new social media tools. With extending a normal basic website there is a certain amount coding or configuration tasks that need to be carried out.
Development is exactly how plugins/extensions come about, but sometimes with a bit of effort we can save a lot of time by "tweaking" open source code, code that is freely available under GNU license.
With a mobile App we can take an idea and create a Minimum Viable Product or a large CMS backed App to launch on Apple and Android stores. Usually a MVP is the first/second stage to showing would be investors how the App would work helping you gain investment or funding.
