Web design / redesign
Pixelcloud is a web design company, but there's more to a website than just the way it looks. We have experience in all aspects of web publishing most of which, of course, goes unseen by the visitor. Below is a list of the services we can offer. Click on a heading for more information...
Content Management
Most modern websites are not static documents but draw their content dynamically from databases. The content management system (CMS) is the bridge between the page and the database and allows site administrators (as well as users) to add content directly within a web-browser like Internet Explorer. We have experience with several different CMS's and can advise you on the best system for your needs.
Web Hosting / Email
We can arrange the hosting of your site on fast, secure and reliable web-servers as well as the registration of your domain name (e.g. yoursite.com) as well as handle email accounts related to that domain (e.g. you@yoursite.com).
Custom PHP applications
Many web applications, like blogs, discussion boards and wikis are freely available but if you need interactive content tailored specifically to your needs, talk to us. We can provide custom PHP programming for your unique requirements.
Search engine optimisation
Being found, indexed and ranked by search engines (e.g. Google and Yahoo) is vital in the blisteringly competitive online marketplace. There are tried and tested techniques, we build into every new site and if you have an existing site that is performing badly in searches, we may be able to help you there too.
Flash animation
Flash is the standard format for delivering interactive animation on the web. From simple video players and photo-galleries to fully animated web sites. Talk to us about making your message stand out from the crowd.
Dynamic HTML
Javascript is the language programmers use to add animation and effects to ordinary web pages. The expanding text boxes on this page are created using javascript. It has the advantage over flash of simplicity, fast loading times and accessibility of content to search engines.
Weblogs
News pages and the ability for visitors to subscribe to your content through new aggregators or email subscriptions via services like Feedburner are becoming increasingly important. Blogs are also a good way to keep content current and improve search results. We use "Wordpress" to build all our blog content. Powerful, simple to use, infinitely custmomisable and best of all, free.
E-commerce
If you need an online shop, we can get it started for you, including, if necessary, secure web-hosting and online payment solutions.
E-Marketing
If you have a site, you need people to know about it. We can offer design and strategies for mailshots and email campaigns.
Logo and stationery design/Branding
Design shouldn't stop with your website. We can provide print design for everything from business cards to mouse mats.
