	We can provide a wide range of services to help you create an effective web presence. Please scroll down to read more about the services we offer. Web Design We design eye-catching web pages that get your message across quickly and efficiently. We can work with you to create effective text content and provide images to enhance the overall appearance. Hosting We can host your web site on our reliable high-speed servers. This ensures your web site is available 24 hours a day. Domain Names Your domain name, e.g. www.mycompany.com, is one of the most important aspects of your web site. We can handle the registration and administration of your chosen name and advise on alternatives to maximise the number of visitors to your site. POP3 Email Accounts Many companies only provide 'forwarding' of email to/from your domain. We provide true 'POP3' email accounts which means you can send/receive email directly from your normal mail software, e.g. Outlook Express. Logo Design If you don't already have a logo to use on your web site, we can design one for you. Search Engines How do people on the internet find your web site? Mostly, they will use search engines. We can register your site with all the major search engines and optimise your pages so they achieve a high ranking. Digital Photography If you are selling products on your web site, visitors will expect to see photographs of them. We can visit your premises to take digital photographs of anything you want to show on your site. Flash Animation Over 130 million people have the Flash player installed. We can create an animated Flash intro to your site, eye-catching adverts, games, demos, etc. Visitor Statistics Once your site is up and running, you will want to know who is visiting. We provide detailed monthly statistics so you have the facts at your fingertips. Databases If you have a lot of frequently-changing content or are selling a range of products you may want to store information in a database for fast access and quick updates.

Secure Credit Card Processing Whether you already accept credit cards or you want to use one of our authorised third-party processors, we can set up a secure payment system. Guestbooks / Surveys / Polls Publishing information provided by your visitors not only makes for an interesting site but also provides you with a valuable source of feedback.
