2. Web Development

How exciting! You've planned out your site, have some ideas on what you'd like built, and are ready to go ... now what?

Content Management System (CMS)

Firstly, what the hell is a CMS? It's just a fancy term for the ability to edit the content of a website without requiring extensive technical skills; so just about anyone can do it. We specialise in a CMS called Joomla, which is easy to use, widely accepted, and incredibly powerful. We build every website using a CMS, and provide training and ongoing support for every job so our clients all have the power to update themselves.

Selling Stuff On Your Website

We use a different CMS for our eCommerce websites called OSCommerce. If you have products to sell online, you need to consider things like loading your product information, photography, getting your shipping and payment options right, and importantly, accepting credit card payments online. It doesn't have to be hard work, and we've done it all before, so can make the process easy.
