Professional Web Site Creation & Maintenance

We design, implement and maintain web sites. We create our own artwork. We specialise in low bandwidth, quick-loading sites that work across the widest range of browsers, including old versions, and we create Flash-based web pages and email feedback pages for specific requirements. We do the important work of updating Search Engines ourselves and individually publicise all our sites to the top search engines, and constantly monitor their ease of search by manually testing the search criteria. In particular, our own site catches over 60000 accesses per month on the basis of its search engine placement. One of the important tools we have developed is WebGen, a Java / C++ package whereby web site owners can update text and images on their own catalogue or news pages.	More about WebGen
