Website Design & Development

The way you look online
Your website is your first point of contact, your online representative. When people are looking for information about your services, to place an order, or buy your products, your website is ready to assist and provide, morning or night.

That’s sounds great doesn’t it? It’s true - your website can be a valuable asset to your organisation. But a website that is poorly planned, ill-conceived and isn’t technically up to scratch can leave you more than a little disappointed with the results.

At Border Marketing Company, we set out from the start to produce a website to fit our client’s requirements – no bells and whistles, flashes and flickers, just because we like them. We combine our designers’ expertise with, our developers’ know-how to produce websites with inviting interfaces, using sound development techniques.

Here are some of the design and development services we provide:

• Redesign of existing website
• New website creation
• Web page optimisation
• Construction of websites compliant with World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) standards
• Provide advice on Search Engine Advertising/Marketing

Accessibility

Available to all

Making sure that your website is accessible, i.e. usable by people with disabilities is now imperative. The Disability Discrimination Act (DDA) means that just as in the ‘real world’ businesses on the Internet are required to make online services accessible for all.

Now if you’re thinking this sounds like an additional expense to accommodate a minority you would be wrong. Some visitors to your website may need a little help using the site, or might require the information in a different way.

At Border Marketing Company we would advise our clients to include consideration of DDA requirement as part of there project from the outset.

Here is how we can help make sure your website is accessible:

• Provide text only alternative – updated automatically with the graphic version of your website
• Make key pages accessible via keyboard and mouse
• Provide advice on using simple straightforward language
• Pages constructed in accordance to the World Wide Web Consortium’s (WC3) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 1.0 to be DDA compliant.

Content Management Systems (CMS)

Putting you in control

If maintaining your own website sounds like a lot of work, it needn’t be. The ability to edit, update and maintain your website can be convenient and time saving.

We can construct a CMS that allows you to control the content on your website, such as updating news stories, adding, or deleting products to an online catalogue or E-Commerce site. Through easy-to-use forms which allow you to edit text and add images to key pages, you can control your content, with changes happening instantly.

We can provide:

• Database Construction
• Content Management
• User Interfaces

E-commerce

Open all hours

E-Commerce, or trading online is now everywhere and year on year the amount of money spent via the web increases greatly. It is no surprise then that more and more businesses are making their presence felt in this online market place. Some organisations exist solely online, as running costs compared to a traditional ‘bricks and mortar’ business can be negligible, while others run web-based services in tandem with their existing business services, offering customers choice as to how they access these services.

We can provide the following E-Commerce features:

• Database Construction
• Content Management
• User Interfaces
• Shopping Cart
• Integration of Payment Gateway / Billing Mechanism
• Technical Support
• Secure Server
