Web Design

You may or may not know that search engine success is not only determined by the way a web site is built but also by how well it performs compared to it's competitors, so it's important that your web site is aesthetically pleasing once you get those all important visitors to your site.

There is no point having your web site at number 1 on Google if your web site is hard to navigate through and looks messy or too complicated. Visitors will be put off by a badly designed site and will go to the next site on the list that looks better and has good navigation. Unfortunately us humans still judge a book by it's cover. This is why we offer web design in conjunction with SEO, if it is needed, as one without the other is like a car without fuel, it just will not work.

Our experienced team create a website design that best fits your content and business needs, no templates, just bespoke web design that is perfect for your needs. From basic static web site design to content managed, e-commerce web design and everything in the middle at an affordable price!

Web design from FirstlineSEO could save you an enormous amount of money as our designs are not only aesthetically pleasing but also have SEO built into the way it is designed from the outset. Optimisation of a web site alone can cost a lot of money so it makes sense to have it done from the beginning minimising future costs of having your web site taken apart and virtually restructured and rebuilt again. This initial outlay with FirstlineSEO is great value for money and will ensure your site is built with SEO in mind.

It is so important to be individual in the online marketplace as there is so much competition which is why we encourage you to let us have a look through your web site and let us compile a report on your site to see what improvements could be made. There is always room for improvement - no matter how great a web site may be and after all the internet is all about being the most innovative, the most interesting and keeping one step ahead of everyone else.

We use the latest and most universal design packages and programs to ensure we are working at our quickest and to the best quality possible. For instance, Adobe Creative Suite, including Photoshop, Illustrator, Imageready & Dreamweaver.

Web Development

To make a web site function in conjunction with it's design it is paramount that the coding behind the design is structured well, there are so many programming languages in web development it becomes a headache for non-geeks to understand. There really is no need for you to know all about each programming language but just to make things a little easier to digest, the table below outlines some of the main codes used and what they are used for, which will help you understand why web design can be a struggle to do without professional help.

HTML (hyper-text markup Language)	This is the most basic of web programming languages. It is a web site layout language which enables a paper design to be put on screen.
Javascript	A complex language which provides functions for more complicated web site needs. Usually used in e-commerce web sites and in online forms. Javascript is a free language where you can set your own variables making it a very diverse and limitless.
MySQL	A database language which allows data to be manipulated and collected within a web site for i.e. for stock taking or user generated content sites like MySpace or friends reunited.
Flash/actionscript	This is a language used to create animated sites within Flash using timing scripts and complex animation skills.
PHP	This is a complex language that can also be used like Javascript to make complicated functions within a web site

FirstlineSEO endeavors to make your site as uncomplicated a possible making less room for errors and faults which we see online so often these days.

Development is the most time consuming element to building a web site but at FirstlineSEO we give you realistic times knowing that we can deliver the project on time.

Unlike many big web design and development agencies we do not have hundreds of projects running at once. We provide a personalised service where the same people deal with you from day one to the minute it's launched making our time management easier and more structured for our clients.

We have development experts on hand to bring on board when we have a special project that you might need for something you just can't seem to find anywhere else. Instead of having ten coders all knowing a bit about everything and not a lot about one thing we have experts in each programming language on hand to ensure we can provide a well developed web site bespoke to your needs.

Testing

We also use muti-user testing methods to ensure no matter what type of computer (Apple mac or PC for example) and no matter what browser is used (Mozilla's Firefox, Apple's Safari or Microsoft's Internet Explorer 7) your web site will work equally good in them all. This is often overlooked with a huge proportion of web site agencies and visitors to your site will see these browser incompatibility errors and will judge your attention to detail.
