Web Design and Management
Creating and maintaining professional looking websites is key for businesses. For most companies the website acts as a ‘shop window’ to attract new customers, so it’s important visitors leave with a good impression of your organisation.
Often, SMEs turn to CMS tools, such as WordPress, Joomla or Drupal and all three of these main players can be installed on our web hosting services in under 5 minutes.
With a CMS you can easily create and maintain a full website. Updating when required and using a wide range of templates to create the right look. For customers who don’t want a complete CMS to control their website, there are many useful tools available, including software to assist with:

These tools make it easier for you, and your designer, to create professional websites with advanced features.
