Web design is as much an art as it is a science. How a web site looks and feels, can be as important as it's technical functionality. The common problem in this market is that developers get carried away with all the latest Hi-Tech features without focusing on the real objective of the web site. Many sites use Flash, this is an animation program that enables the use of dynamic images within a web site. Although this produces attractive web sites, the content can take longer to load, and costs more to develop. Often the animations on the site will draw away the users attention from information about the organisation. At PCC we always carefully analyse your organisation in order to supply you with the most appropriate site, one that truly reflects your activities.

We are educated in the latest web technologies so we can make use of them where they are needed but we also understand about backwards compatibility. This means we can make sure that your customers with older browsers do not get left behind. We design using search engine compatible HTML. This means that when Google and other search engines browse the site, it is not penalised in the rankings for “bad code”.

Ultimately how you want your site to look is entirely your choice. We will keep tweaking until you are thoroughly satisfied.

Speed
We design web sites with out excluding the users with slower internet connections. This means that your potential customers do not loose interest as content loads when they flick from page to page.

Security
Security is an issue we take very seriously. This includes: from protecting your data from unauthorised access to your customers credit card details. In addition, we can advise you on issues relating to the data protection regulations.

E-commerce
Harness the true power of the Internet by having a web site that allows you to take orders online. E-commerce sites can be used successfully in conjunction with your organisation's current infrastructure generating extra sales, or allowing users to view your products.

Flash
Flash is often used when trying to create a stylish image. It allows a web site to be extremely dynamic, pulling information from databases with out the end users knowledge. Flash is very good for animation, but we only recommend it for certain types of organisation's. As if used inappropriately it can:

• Cost more to develop than is necessary for the site.

• Cause users to leave the site prematurely as Flash can take too long to load.

• Distract users from the real content of your site.

• Give the impression that organisation is expensive.

Interactive content
Find out about your customers by enabling them to send you feedback from your web site, or let them find out how you can help them, by customising information you send them based on information they have supplied.

Web Master Service
There are many web sites on the internet today that fall into the gap between the average small business web site and the large enterprise sites. These sites require constant maintenance and updates, which involves time knowledge and experience beyond what your organisation can provide internally. PCC can fill that gap by cost effective site management so your business does not fall behind!
