Done well and the site will maintain its original feel but will subtly change its design to ensure text and images are clearly visible on smaller screens.

Its now considered so important to be able to have your website rendered correctly on a smart phone or tablet that Google will penalise sites that don’t conform to the latest search engine standards. Don’t take my word for it. Check your own website by using the link below.

'Search engine optimization (SEO) is the process of effecting the visibility of a website or a web page in a search engine's "natural" or unpaid ("organic") search results. In general, the higher ranked and more frequently a site appears in the search results list, the more visitors it will receive from the search engine's users. As an Internet marketing strategy, SEO considers how search engines work, what people search for, the actual search terms or keywords typed into search engines and which search engines are preferred by their targeted audience. Optimizing a website may involve editing its content, HTML and associated coding to both increase its relevance to specific keywords and to remove barriers to the indexing activities of search engines. Promoting a site to increase the number of back-links, or inbound links, is another SEO tactic'.

(Description from Wikipedia)

It is important that you understand that we are not a Web Site Marketing Company (as this is a specialist and costly exercise), however we do make sure your Web Site is as Search Engine friendly as possible but it is impossible to guarantee that your site will appear in the first page even if you employ the services of a specialist website marketing company.

All our websites regardless of the size are built with Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) in mind and as the site is built so careful thought is given to ensure all images and text could be seen by the leading search engines. The sites are also submitted to all leading Search Engines.

If high search engine ranking is important we can arrange for specialist SEO consultants to undertake the marketing of the site. If this is required then you should be aware that this is a continuing process with the site managed on a monthly basis.

Web hosting is the means to allow our clients to make their website accessible via the World Wide Web. We use a specialist web hosting company to provide space on a server that we sub-let to our clients.

The scope of web hosting services varies greatly. The most basic is web page and small-scale file hosting, where we typically upload and host your website.

Individuals and organizations may also obtain Web page hosting from alternative service providers and we are more than happy to upload your site to these.

Single page hosting is generally sufficient for personal web pages. A complex site calls for a more comprehensive package that provides database support and application development platforms (e.g. PHP, Java, Ruby on Rails, ColdFusion, or ASP.NET). These facilities allow customers to write or install scripts for applications like online shops, forums and content management. Also, Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) is typically used for e-commerce.

We may also provide an interface or control panel for managing the Web server and installing scripts, as well as other modules and service applications like e-mail.

Our hosting partner. Our exceptional hosting is through UK based host provider Nimbus Hosting. All servers are to the latest specification and can be used for Database (Mysql) and PHP, which means that they can accommodate complicated web apps such as shops and interactive websites.

We can also provide any Domain Name from a .com to a .co.uk and all the weird and wonderful choices available. We charge slightly more than our clients would pay if they purchased a domain from one of the 'cheap' providers but any and all domains bought through us include full domain management and full client ownership (while annual payment is made) and no hidden fees.
