Website Design
Nothing says "unique" more than getting the same designed and packaged website as everyone else on the internet... Oh wait, it doesn't.
Here at Grafix Garage we do things differently, our goal is to create a unique intuitive look and feel for every client. User experience (UX) is key to positioning yourself above your competition and to stand out. This is the edge we bring by delivering a customised website built specifically to meet your needs.
All of our custom CMS "iKit" sites are built to not only perform but to provide smart support with automated features for Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) processes such as meta tags, keywords tag, description tag and XML sitemap.
We constantly strive to keep ahead of the pack by researching current trends as well as future web technology and practices.
In our experience, B2B mobile users do not expect the same experience from mobile devices. Quick access to relevant information is key. Achieving this requires fresh code and design elements that maintain brand continuity. Site design must be simple but still allow the added functionality of the device being used. This includes GPS data tracking and gestures for navigation amongst some of the many features available. All efforts to "future proof" the site are made to take new emerging technology into account, including the use of responsive design to react to new resolution standards and orientation of devices.
By implementing a responsive design and targeting mobile users we can guarantee low load times and a consistent user experience across a multitude of devices which display content of varying dimensions. As each device varies in their screen resolutions we will ensure our responsive smartphone conversion will conform to sizes 240, 320, 360, 480, 640 and 768. Smartphones and tablets testing is performed on iPhone 6, iPhone 5, iPhone 4, iPad, Samsung Galaxy S4, Samsung Galaxy S3, Nokia Lumia 1320 which covers the full gamut of resolutions as well as all mobile platforms (iOS, Windows Phone and Android). A smartphone / tablet detection script can be added to your existing system to automatically redirect users to the mobile site without the need for user interaction or tying up additional resources.
WordPress is a globally accepted system first launched in 2003. Initially created as a content management system for bloggers it has evolved over the years through continued development to become a powerful and flexible website system. Having been downloaded more than 46 million times, WordPress is now one of the most popular solutions for an online web presence and powers almost 20% of all websites on the internet.
WordPress is a feature rich website creation system that makes running and maintaining a website easier than many other platforms such as Joomla or Drupal (which we also support). The most important of these features are ease of use, in built SEO and mobile friendly website design. Due to the massive popularity that WordPress enjoys a vast array of support material exists, allowing users and developers to access a diverse array of web based documentation including YouTube video channels, blogs, whitepapers and online forums.
WordPress is inherently SEO (Search Engine Optimisation) friendly and features an ability to automatically generate search friendly URLS. With the addition of a various plugins, such as the Google XML Site Map and the All-in-One SEO pack, websites can easily maintain good SEO discipline allowing your website the best chance of search results.
The WordPress system is based around templated themes, created by third party developers and are inexpensive to purchase. These themes form the base website to which your corporate identity and branding are added. Many of these themes feature responsive design elements and contemporary layouts. Modern responsive design allows the WordPress website to be optimised and display content when viewed on a mobile or tablet device in a more natural way and offers more accessible content for users on the go.
Grafix Garage specialises in tailoring your WordPress website to stand out from your competitors and creating content that drives business to you.
