Web

Creating the right design and menu layout, and including the appropriate level of functionality for your online presence is essential if you are to encourage users to visit your website again and again.

Not everybody wants to, or needs to, offer e-commerce, some of our clients want a site that is simple to use and tells their audience where they are and how to get in touch.

As with our graphic design services we'll use the output of any research when considering your website features. We’ll build a Content Management System so you can update the website yourself, if that's the appropriate solution, but we're not afraid to say that you may actually be better off with a simple site that we update for you. It will be one less thing for you to consider on a day to day basis and it will be cheaper to create.

We take care of your legal obligations with regard to online law in areas such as Accessibility, and can advise on what your peers or competitors are offering in terms of functionality. 

We offer a support service that covers administrator and technical support, so if you forget how to make an amend all you have to do is call us.

And we can help you in your listing, working with you to be found for relevant phrases and keywords, we can even manage your pay per click advertising if needed.

An effective website achieves a perfect balance between the needs of your users and the needs of your organisation. Emerald provides ways for you to achieve that balance.

Emerald provides a complete service, offering everything you need for a successful website. All work in progress is viewable on one of our servers; all administrator training is carried out with your team on your website, not on a test site, and we use your own content to form the basis of the training sessions.

We host and manage the website for you, or if you prefer we can advise you on the set up of your own server. At the end of the project the website is yours to take away if you so choose.  There are no licence fees to consider and no third party software to buy for the standard Content Management Software system.

We can offer all or some of the services below, depending on your needs and the skills of your team.

  • User needs analysis

  • Scoping and requirements gathering
  • Functional specification
