Custom Web Site Design
Each web site is individually tailored to suit the client or business. The branding of any web site is crucial to a corporate image and for this reason we only offer custom web site design services. Every site is individual and unique. Our emphasis is on clearly presented, fast loading, easy to navigate, smart and contemporary design. Your website is your shop window to the world and can be accessed by anyone anywhere at any time. It is your flagship, your online brochure, your representative - 24 hrs. a day. For these reasons it is crucial to give your clients a good impression with a well-designed, user friendly website.
Cost effective
Compared with the price of advertising in the press, a website will prove to be far more cost effective and provide you with worldwide exposure. There is no other way that you could reach a global audience so inexpensively. Advertising in the press is a scatter-gun approach and most people will not look twice at your expensive advert. The difference is that if people find your website, they must have been looking for it in the first place. That gives you the edge.
Cheap websites usually end up costing more!
Some client websites that I design and build have first been designed and built by a 'cheap' web design agency elsewhere, as clients find that their website are not representative of their image, doesn't bring in work, doesn't get found in Google and is full of errors they realise that they would have been better off by getting it done properly in the first place. No, The Design Guru is not the cheapest; I am realistic and honest as are my prices! The long term advantages of having a site that works makes the initial outlay a lot less costly in the long run. Cheap web design agencies come and go and clients are often left wondering what to do when they can't find their original web designer, The Design Guru has been running since 2005 so you have the assurance that someone is always at hand to help you when you need it.
Latest Web Technology
I design and build websites using the most effective technology available, currently this means it will be built in XHTML and CSS with appropriate use of Flash* (*if requested), this means you can be sure your website will be up to date with current W3C standards and compliant with all current browsers.
Accessibility with XHTML and CSS
Separating the code that describes the visual appearance of your website from the content is now possible with XHTML and CSS, this means that search engines such as Google and people with disabilities can find and navigate the content of your site a lot more easily, it also means that your site is a lot easier to update and can be seen on other devices such as mobile phones and PDAs. In fact it is now a legal requirement for most websites in the UK to comply with accessibility standards. The Design Guru has plenty of experience in designing and developing websites that comply with these standards.
