Web design Worcester/website design Worcester, and custom web design for Gloucester, Hereford and the Midlands

We recognise that successful web sites in 2008 must be a careful blend of three elements:

Impactive web design

Clean, beguiling and brand-aware. Intelligent web design for Worcester, Gloucester, Hereford and the Midlands

Advanced web coding and back office integration

Secure, reliable code with full support and bug-fix guarantees

— and careful listening to client requirements

We expect that customers for our tailored web site service will be companies or organisations who already have a web site, but one that no longer meets their needs or is failing in some way. Or are looking to exploit some of the unique networking power of custom internet applications. By listening carefully we ensure your next step on the internet is trouble-free.

At Accentika Internet, Worcester, we believe we can demonstrate expertise in all three areas. Contact us to find out more

Forward-looking web design

Good web design has moved on a long way since the days when web designers would try to outdo themselves with weird ways for users to navigate (or fail to navigate) around beautifully-strange landscapes. Today our designer's main goals are for clean pages that match a company's brand values and clearly signpost information so that users can find what they want quickly. All our web site designs are produced as "skins" that are overlaid on the web site content using standards-compliant construction techniques.

The reason we do this is that the best current standards require that web site content (the information) is kept separate from the design elements. There are many practical advantages to this approach. But one of the main ones is that site information can be served up to users in many different ways (because the information is independent of the design). So sites can be browsed on large screens, mobiles, PDAs or can have high contrast versions for visually-impaired users, for example.

We also support the new generation of standards-compliant sites, where information may be reused and exchanged in portable formats which are supported by the system (eg Dublin Core XML). But it also means that the design of your site can progress in parallel with the editing of your site content. Other benefits are shorter leadtimes and freedom to change design at a later date without losing any content.

As you would expect, our web sites are developed and tested across all major platforms (Windows, Mac OSX and Linux) and are designed to work with older browsers as well as exploiting the latest facilities of the newest. So we ensure that all your visitors have the best experience when they visit your site.

Advanced web coding

In the same way that the goals of web design are changing, the way web that the best sites are built now has changed too. Security, program maintenance, flexibility and speed are just as important as the underlying code.

Straight away we have an advantage here over many other Midlands web companies through our Accent-on-Business content management system . This means that the starting point for an Accentika Internet tailored web site is a system that already does much of what other web companies will take weeks to build. It is also a system that is here now, working and field-tested — giving an assurance that project will be delivered on time and on budget.

So we can immediately get to work on the specific developments needed to suit your unique requirements, saving time, costs and stress.

It may be that your needs are as straightforward as a multiple language site or integration of your site with your e-commece systems. Or you may want to implement a company-wide web system that will link together your mobile sales force, your customer relationship marketing databases and your warehouse.

At Accentika Internet, we are already part of the way to your solution.

Need to manage the translation of copy in a second language. Or encrypt sensitive data and deliver it privately to secure email clients? We can do exactly what you want.

Old-fashioned listening

The third aspect of our service is our commitment to listen.

Our business is not to try to sell you a particular product or solution. In true custom way, we build to order. That means that the listening part of the project can take up a significant portion — in fact it can take up over half the time of the entire project. During this time, we work with you and your project team to build a comprehensive technical specification. Once complete, the site build is able to proceed rapidly as the designers, programmers and database integrators can work in parallel to deliver the specified project. In addition, you, as the customer, can see exactly what is to be delivered and when.

As part of the process, we will set up an on-line project collaboration area, which we use for managing information and where all involved will have access to task progress reports and schedules. So our customers can see exactly where their projects are, and we can manage the information exchange between the Accentika Internet team and the client team

We know our approach makes us different to most web companies. Please contact us now to see how that difference can work for you.
