WEBSITE DESIGN

Search this site     powered by FreeFind

 

Web sites with search engine optimisation built in!

Most web developers will design a site starting from your goals for the site - the items or ideas you are selling or propagating. They will talk to you about the visual elements, the style, the flash buttons, the "visual hierarchy". Once the site is finished they will start talking about search engine optimisation, and "submitting" your site to search engines.
By then its to late! Its not like putting the cart before the horse, its more like putting the cart in a bog several miles behind the horse, and then setting it on fire. (The cart, not the horse).
We will also talk to you about "visual hierarchy", but we will always temper our design with the practicalities of getting your site listed. We know what works for search engines, and what does not.

We create a website without favouring any one aspect of the design - by constantly tempering one aspect with another - as a result web page design is about the art painless compromise (painless to you, at least!) We place equally high priority on usability, visual appeal, search engine friendliness, functionality, and content.

Pricing

We do not have a fixed page-rate for development - every site is unique - we can provide a quick quote on a job that will give you a ballpark figure. We will help you develop a plan for your site - plus the content and structure that will realise that plan, and this will evolve through discussion - which is why we like to start with a ballpark figure.

"you rush a miracle man you get lousy miracles" Miracle Max

Edible Media projects tend to evolve. We are meticulous and for this reason we will not guarantee "rush jobs". We will give you an indicator of the likely time frame with the quote.

Camp Creative
find the creative australian summer school at http://www.campcreative.com.au/
client this site is for a creative arts festival.

brief

To totally revamp the festival's web presence. To give it a friendly, fun, modern feel. Site must give a personal face to the festival, include all 50 or so courses, and integrate a simple booking system.

What we did

We created a cookie-based booking system. As each person needed a separate booking form this allowed us to store common details and automatically fill in the fields on the booking form. All the photographs on the site came from different sources and all were quite different so we processed all them to give them a similar "feel". We also added a web-based mailing list system to allow the site to keep track of subscribers.

This site has a "captive audience" and was not submitted to search engines.

Sandy had a web presence for several year that failed to generate a single order. Despite having a jaded view of the effectiveness of web trading she took us on to revamp her site.

We created a very friendly, funny, cute web-presence to reflect the product. We wanted to give the site a lot of personality - as do the cards. Budget didn't allow for a database driven shopping site, so we integrated a web gallery with an online shopping cart. We added some flash to the site to bring it alive. In the first two weeks of being in the top 10 of google sandy received more enquiries than in the previous 2 years.
