Intranet Solutions...

Using standard internet technologies, I can design an in-house intranet that will enhance the way you and your staff work. This can be done to such a sophisticated extent that the company intranet can wind up being the main interface that your staff use in their normal working day.

Why would you want to establish an internal website, or intranet?

An Intranet can be used to provide a whole range of services throughout your organisation yet present a common, unified interface to all of your staff. Here's a few examples of the information and functionality that can be made available to staff members:

  • Help desk
  • Training documentation
  • Central access to company documentation such as staff manuals, health and safety information and so on.
  • Interface to MS Access databases that avoids the need for MS Access to be installed on client machines thereby making significant savings on expensive licensing.

That's just a small sample. No doubt you'll be able to think of other possible requirements.

Internet Solutions...

I can, in full consultation with you, design, construct and maintain your company website for you. Based on a comprehensive specification drawn up in partnership with you, I will build a website aimed at giving you world wide exposure for your company via the Internet.

This has to be the cheapest and most effective mechanism for mass advertising there is. There are numerous accounts of firms, large and small, realising a significant increase in profits after establishing a presence on the web. Whilst I cannot guarantee that you will see a similar increase in revenue, I can, in partnership with you, ensure that the means of attracting more business via the Internet is there by producing and maintaining your website.

Once the site has been designed and tested, I will post it to your ISP if you already have one. If not, I can handle the setting up of an ISP account on your behalf. As part of the service, your site will also be logged with all the main search engines, ensuring that people who need to find it can do so. Once the site is live, I can also provide a maintenance service, whereby I will update pages as and when required as well as provide reports giving you statistical data on the popularity of the site.

Website Design Philosophy

I design websites for clients that are fast and efficient, getting to the point quickly so that visitors can find the information about your products without waiting for excessive downloads and so on. Consequently, I do not incorporate multimedia content such as Flash, video or music. In my view, unless the sole purpose of your website is to entertain rather than inform, then such content is merely eye candy and superfluous. Worse, it can lead to the visitor (and potential customer) going elsewhere.
