Web Design and Development

creativenucleus creates and maintains websites for small to medium sized businesses, professional organisations, creative groups and individuals. We are also able to assess and redevelop your existing site if it needs new features or is not performing to your requirements.

Web Design

Whether you have an existing corporate style or require fresh creative design, creativenucleus can build a high-impact web site to advertise your product, promote your cause or sell your service.

There's more to our website designs than good looks. The underlying site code is hand-engineered to perform well with search services, to display properly in all popular web browsers, to degrade gracefully for users who cannot use advanced web technologies and to be accessible to all - without compromising design flair.

Built to standards - Built for access - Built to perform

Web Programming

Modern web site design involves more than pretty pages; sites often present dynamic information, driven by databases and web scripts to provide protected log in systems, content management systems, community forums and online sales.

creativenucleus specialises in developing data-driven sites which weave powerful data management with strong graphic identity and modern web technology to give your visitors (or community members) a rich, fulfilling internet experience.

eCommerce

Connect yourself to customers with an online shop - augment your existing business or set up a new venture in ecommerce.

creativenucleus can set up your online retail outlet so that you can keep your shop doors open for business while traditional high-street retailers sleep!

Digital Services

A web designer uses any of a range of skills depending on the job.

'Web design' is a broadly used term and may include:

  • Graphic design
  • Photo editing
  • Layout
  • Generating text content
  • Proof-reading
  • Video compression
  • Flash work
  • Database and systems programming
  • Software installation and customisation
  • Search optimisation
  • Enabling accessibility

creativenucleus is able to handle all of these tasks.

Technologies

  • Web 2.0 / AJAX - Responsive websites and community building
  • PHP - Serve dynamically created pages from your website
  • CSS - Multiple styles for webpage design and layout
  • MySQL - Access and modify databases (dynamic content: e-commerce, web-communities like Friends Reunited, eBay...)
  • Flash - Embed graphical content and games

  • Java - Embed programs in your pages
Terminology
  • Domain Name - The text address you type into your web browser to visit a website (ending .com, .co.uk, .net, .info etc...). Domain names are often registered in yearly, or two-yearly, terms.
  • Hosting - The service holding your website data and connecting it to the internet. Usually rented in yearly terms and limited by disk space (the amount of data a website holds- pages, graphics, etc...) and bandwidth (the amount of data transferred per month)
Your Requirements

We can give you a ballpark figure for your web development job.

In order to do so, please supply as much information as possible about the work involved

It is useful to know how many pages you expect to have, what media you can present (e.g. images, logos, brand style...) and whether these will need work)

You may also require proof-reading and English naturalisation.

If you have a specific schedule or budget, then we can try to conform to those. It's often useful if you can introduce your business or point to an example of the kind of site you would like, too.
