Web Site Design & Web Development

When we construct website our process can be split into two main categories

1. Design

The primary objective of a web site should be to meet the requirements of the client. In most cases this would be to attract then convert Internet users into customers, subscribers or in the case of charities, donators. The design of the web site is paramount to reassuring, educating and ultimately convincing the viewer that they have come to the right place, or that they have found what they are looking for. We design with this in mind and create websites which dont deter people from exploring and are specifically designed for the target market, Our Designers use a variety of techniques, programmes and software during the design of a web site. We thought we'd give you a quick insight into them below.

Adobe Photoshop
Used to produce mock-ups and 'Internet Ready graphics'

Adobe Illustrator
Is another tool for producing mock-ups, graphics and design

Adobe Flash
Can be used to produce animation, movement & interaction

Adobe Dreamweaver
Is used to construct the web site as it is being constructed for the Internet.

CSS (Cascading Style Sheets)
CSS is used in conjunction with HTML to design and style the web site from a separate file. The use of CSS brings many advantages including advanced design features, lower file sizes and a universal styling document that updates the presentation and design of the site automatically from a single document.

2. Development

After the design of the web site is completed, either as a mock-up or coded template HTML file, the web site then requires development time. Development can be as basic as constructing the design as a web page in HTML, or it can be as complex as using the design to 'skin' a complex e-commerce or database driven website. Our development is sometimes completed by the same Web Designer, or in many cases a web developer alternatively a team of specialist individuals can take charge for larger projects. Our Web Developers and Web Designers use any of the following tools and techniques to develop a website to either completion or for ongoing maintenance:

HTML (Hypertext Markup Language)
Is the basic language for presenting a web-site.

XHTML
Is the markup language with the same depth as HTML, but XHTML also conforms to XML syntax.

XML
Is a custom language for creating custom markup.

RSS (Real Simple Syndication)
Is a popular format for publishing frequently updated articles and stories like blogs.

ASP.NET
Is the Windows Framework used for dynamic applications.

PHP

MySQL
Is a Open Source Database platform and used in conjunction with PHP and other languages to store and retrieve data.

AJAX
Is a coding nickname for the combination technique of XML and Javascript for making rich internet applications.

Javascript
Is an established client-side scripting language commonly used by web site developers.

Actionscript
Is a scripting language primarily used within and to integrate Flash. The latest version of Actionscript is 3.0 but 2.0 is still widely used worldwide.
