- Why are we called ACCESS – by design? Isn’t all web design the same?
Sadly not all web design is GOOD design – no matter how pretty it may look. Whist looking for a way to make websites disability-friendly, we realised that accessible design helped EVERYONE. Now we are industry leaders!
Dynamic web design techniques allow our websites to work on anything:- PCs, Apple Macs, laptops, netbooks, mobile phones, iphones, Blackberrys and PDAs, all the way up to HD TVs!
- Why does it matter that my website works on all those things?
Our websites also work with all of the popular browsers because you don’t know what people will be using to look at your website. Believe us, if it doesn’t work for them, they won’t be back in the future! We work to global web standards and are top-level ‘disability friendly’ too!
- What about Google and other search engines?
We have fantastic search engine results for our clients, our unique dynamic SEO techniques mean that all of your pages are working for you round the clock to bring in traffic to your website. ALL our clients score over 80% in an international, independent SEO ranking.
- Won’t all this make my website slow?
If we hosted our websites the way most web design companies do, yes. Your website would be slow because your website would be sharing the server with hundreds (if not thousands) of other websites. Access – by Design is different. We invested in our own dedicated server, which is actually in Maidenhead, sitting right on the ‘electronic backbone ‘of the country for super-fast connection speed and response time. We only host for our clients and we don’t share with anyone! Think of it like taking a toll road – you pay a little to be on it but you get the ability to go as fast as you like and you get to jump the traffic jams too.
Because we own our server, you also get a phenomenal amount of information about your site visitors’ statistics, tracking everyone who visits your website – even down to what they typed into the search engine that led them to you. Our servers are monitored by real people, 24 hours a day and we get hourly reports here in the Chichester office to check speed, security and status. Your website is also backed up every day, every week and every month so you have the added security that your information is in safe hands.
- Doesn’t all this mean Access – by Design sites are expensive?
We promise you will be amazed at how reasonable our quotes are and also how much you get for your money. We don’t ‘do’ hidden charges. By removing maintenance fees and ongoing costs most companies find they save hundreds of pounds a year by switching to Access – by Design. Our hosting fee is a little bit higher than some (think of the toll road example above) but when you see what benefit hosting on a dedicated server brings, you’ll wish you had made the change years ago.
- What about ethical buying?
We are please to say we don’t cut our costs or your quality by outsourcing our coding to Eastern Europe or Asia. We strongly advise businesses to avoid design houses who do. At Access-by Design you have your own personal designer whom you can phone, email and meet in person at our office.
We will work with you to create a contemporary, flexible website that presents you to the world wide web in your best light! Talk to us today on 01243 766399.
