Web Site Design in Surrey & Hampshire

Cyan Shiner has years of experience in providing efficient, striking and logical solutions to web site design. We believe that a web site should be easy to use as well as visually appealing, after all how many times have you visited a web site only to quickly click away after not being able to find what you were looking for?

Our clients include a wide variety of companies ranging from smaller businesses to large corporations and have even encompassed building web sites for individuals such as Richard Branson’s Global Traveller web site which catalogued his attempt to circumnavigate the world by hot air balloon.

Search Engine Optimisation

All of our web sites are designed and built with the search engines in mind and fully optimised to make the most of your search engine ranking from day one. When we commence with your web site design we provide comprehensive documentation which helps explain and demystify how search engine ranking works, how to write content for your site to improve your ranking, and how to build on and imporve your search engine ranking over time.

Content Management Systems – Updating Your Own Web Site

All of the web sites we build are integrated with an easy to use content management system which allows you to change the text based content of the site, images displayed on its pages, its menu, footer and to add new pages and sections to the site.

For smaller web sites where you may have a more limited budget we use the highly respected Adobe Contribute. For larger web sites which contain more information and require more complex features, such as secured download areas, we use WordPress or EzPublish.

Other CMS systems which we have experience in designing and site building for in the past include WordPress, Droople, Mambo, Joomla, X-Wiki and bespoke CMS systems.

What Kind of Web Site Do You Need?

Large database driven web site design solutions

For larger corporations or companies that have very specific off the shelf web site design requirements. These can include more complex CMS driven sites incorporating secured back end areas for clients and downloading materials, large Flash driven presentations, blogs, CSS news feeds, user tracking and marketing data collection etc.

Medium sized web site design solutions

When your company requires slightly more complex features included in your web site. These could include such things as Flash animation, online galleries, animated presentations, news sections, forums, e-commerce functionality etc.

Small brochure web site design

These are perfect for smaller companies with limited budgets. They allow a simple internet presence with roughly the same content as a promotional brochure. This can also save money as you can direct a client to your web site rather than sending them an expensive printed brochure.  

What Our Clients Have Said About Our Web Design Services

How does a business go from nowhere to top Google listings with a small outlay and a little home grown effort, helped by Cyan Shiner? Here's how.

We started our photography business eight years ago with hope, our skills and a simple designed by a friendwebsite consisting of a single page, a few photographs and our contact details.

To our surprise, we attracted business and started slowly to grow. It took time to cover our start up costs and develop our product. We knew little of sales and marketing, and to be honest, most of our hard earned profits quickly disappeared in the print advertising we needed to attract clients.

Friends who were more established in the business suggested we consulted with Cyan Shiner to work on our brand and improve our website. It was the best business decision we ever made.

They visited our studio and worked patiently with us to focus on how best to present ourselves to a discerning clientele. Taking care of our business stationery and marketing materials and ensured that the 'look' of our website matched what we are about. They advised on the content and style of advertisements we still were placing in national magazines. We moved up to the next level of business.

Finally, as we reached a stage where we had a little more time and IT capability - and the technology was there - Cyan Shiner advised that we took complete control of our website. They gave us training in Adobe Contribute and designed webpages we could create and edit at will.

Cyan Shiner wrote and gave us a helpful booklet on White Hat wizardry which meant we were able to identify key search terms which gave prominence to our website. We now regularly come top or near the top in the search engines for clients looking for our type of service.

These are difficult times for most businesses. Clients are increasingly demanding and competitors are after our place in the market. It's no time to be complacent. A hard working, attractive website is essential to our survival and growth and thanks to the Google Analytics Cyan Shiner added to our website's coding we can track all visitors to our site and evaluate what they are looking for. We can do all this in the time we have available and at no extra cost.

Our business is now completely turned around. We spend very little on print advertising these days and don't need to spend a great deal of time on working our website, our main shop window. We attract an international clientele, with bookings ranging from couples in Toyko to Atlanta, Georgia. We offer links on our website to other suppliers we can genuinely recommend and this brings us valuable word of mouth business.

We recommend Cyan Shiner without reservation.
