Upgrading

If your website is looking dated, or has lost the edge it once had, it’s a good time to give it the Gecko factor – to make it faster, friendlier and more flexible. Whether it needs minor tweaking or a complete overhaul, we can get it working harder, better and faster.

Scaling

As your business grows and changes, your website should grow and change to reflect it. That’s why we don’t just build new sites, we also specialise in extensions and renovations (revamps or restyling) of existing sites. We can alter the structure of your current site or build and incorporate whole new sections.

Enjoy faster loading-speed, greater reliability with less downtime, better scaling to mobile and other devices, etc.

Be search engine optimised, so your website can be found more quickly and appear higher in search results.

Treat visitors to your site with clearer navigation, higher-quality content and more up-to-date design.

Have broken links fixed, malfunctioning features removed, and browser-compatibility issues resolved.

Add new functionalities such as blogs, booking systems, a shop, contact forms, newsletter signups, etc.

Make sure SSL (HTTPS), anti-spam, firewall, and backup systems are all in place and working as they should.

Use Google Analytics and other tracking tools to better understand how visitors are using the site.

Let us take your web presence to the next level

How we build

We use a range of tools and technologies, including HTML, CSS and Javascript, but mostly we use WordPress, the most commonly used Content Management system globally. There are more than 800 million websites on the internet and over 43% of them are built using WordPress.

Our projects typically follow these five key stages:

We’ll start by having friendly consultation (for which there is no charge), during which you can share your ideas and explain your needs and goals to give us a solid understanding of what you’re after.

Assuming you choose to team up with us, we’ll go on to create a visual concept for your website, with a design and images that represent your brand. We’ll make sure everything looks and feels right, and that the content reads well too.

Next, we’ll go on to build the website, using modern tools and best practices, making sure it works smoothly, is easy to use, and is set up to be found on search engines. This is where your site really starts to take shape.

Before going live, we’ll test everything on a private ‘staging’ version of your website. We’ll check for broken links, visual issues, and make sure all the pages work well across all devices. Finally, when we’re happy with everything, we’ll ask you to test it too.

We’ll make any final tweaks, and when you’re 100% happy, it’s time to launch. We’ll move your brand-new website to its live home where the world can see it. Search engines will start picking it up, and it will be ready to welcome visitors.
