Site Development

We like to develop the web site with you. We do this by setting up a development web site where you can see the development as it progresses. Together we can guide the direction of development.

Customers usually have an initial idea of the type of site they require, and although the design will not be fixed, it is important to incorporate their ideas to create a suitable site to meet their requirements.

The first step to achieve is to design a layout which is appealing to both you and your potential customers.

Content Management System

You may need to update the content of your website, to keep it fresh and up to date.
News items, price lists, or content can be updated when required.

There are several ways to approach this, from a simple free online editor, a full Adobe screen editing program to a fully integrated Content Management approach such as Joomla.
We would discuss with you the most appropriate technology for your CMS requirements.

Web Site Analysis

The two most popular Web Site Statistics packages AWStats & Google Analysis, will provide you with a good understanding of who is visiting your website, where and how long they are looking at each page.

Shopping Cart

For web sites where there are a range of goods available, it may be necessary to implement a shopping cart. There are many different carts available, but this facility would need to be built in from the onset of site development.
A good easy to use, and cost effective Shopping Cart such as MAL's E-Commerce might be chosen.

Graphics Development - Logos/Banners

We find that most clients already have their own Logo and graphics to be incorporated into a Banner. There is also a company colour scheme to consider. At Chilternweb we can help with the development of a suitable Banner and Web Site Logo if required.
