web application design.

Require a custom web application to assist with the operational needs of your business?
Having an automated web-based service is often simpler and more cost-effective than paying an employee to do repetitive and time-consuming tasks.

We work with companies to develop online business platforms that manage accounts, manage projects, manage documents, send notifications, mass-email, and more.
No two businesses are alike and consequently an off the shelf, one size fits all application won't solve every business requirements. Our software applications are tailored to suit the individual growing requirements of small and medium enterprises.

Custom Web Applications to suit your business needs.
At Warkeys Web Design we can develop a custom Web application to suit your business needs. Our teams of website design and application developers are experts in designing and implementing large complex, data-driven custom applications designed specifically for individual business.

We provide a full range of custom web applications.
From full featured ecommerce storefronts, websites with features such as online calendars, and member only access, content management systems for easy access and content updates of your website, to Intranet and Extranet development to facilitate business to business communication both externally and internally with vendors, partners and employees.

mobile sites and apps.

Your customers are more likely to search for products and make online purchases using a smartphone or tablet than they are on a desktop or laptop.
We can optimise your homepage for mobile devices, ensuring visitors enjoy a tailored, device-specific browsing experience when they find you on the mobile web.

A mobile landing page.
A mobile version of your homepage which features condensed content, a restructured layout and optimised navigation for usability and quick loading times.

A mobile ecommerce store.
A smaller, more user friendly online store that allows users to use the click-to-call function and personalise the site to suit their device and preferences.

A mobile app.
A step beyond a mobile version of an existing website, an app is a standalone application that users download, install and customise. They're great for online retail.

web development.

We are experts in web development and customised CMS development having built 100s of websites since 1997.
Web development is the process of taking a website design and programming this to display properly in a browser. This involves programming the HTML and CSS in-line with web standards and then integrating this code into a content management system (CMS). Custom web development is then undertaken to fill any of the functionality gaps before thorough testing is carried out across the website.

Web development requires a very different set of skills to web design.
In web development the focus is on functionality and usability. Our approach to web development is to bring together the web design aspects of website creation and integrate these with the latest technologies and frameworks that we have at our disposal. This web development process ensures your website is functional, usable, achieves your marketing goals and looks great!

smart ecommerce.

Electronic commerce is a rather broad topic.
As the name suggests, it is commerce, or business, by electronic means. That does not exclusively mean business done on the Internet. Nonetheless, as a web design and development company, we will stick to what we know and focus on ecommerce and its relationship with the Internet.

Ecommerce has changed the world. An enormous statement no doubt, but the evidence is resounding.
Prior to the Internet boom of the late 90s, the Internet, or World Wide Web, was really just a huge information resource - 'the information super-highway'. However, business-people soon began to foresee the immense possibilities of doing business online. Money began to pour into the development of these hubs for business, or ecommerce websites as we know them now.

So, why does ecommerce matter to a start-up or small to medium business like yours? One word: money.
Small to medium businesses do not have much money to spend on enlarging their market through expensive advertising. Nor do they have much money to spend on hiring extra salespeople or opening new stores to sell their products and services in multiple geographic locations. However, with an ecommerce website you can achieve all these things with a return on investment that blows out any other form of marketing. But an ecommerce website is more than just marketing. It is a sales channel. It is your store, or salesperson, to the world!

Ecommerce with Warkeys Web Design.
Our focus with ecommerce websites is two-fold. Return on investment; and your customers. You need your ecommerce website to make you more money and to do that it needs to appeal to your customers. It is no different to designing and building a new store, or training and developing a salesperson and pitch. Our experience in developing online product catalogues, shopping cart systems, online ordering websites, and stock / inventory management systems should give you confidence that we will deliver an ecommerce website that will grow your business.

content management.

Making content changes on your website shouldn't be a hassle.
That's why a lot of our websites are built on top of a robust content management system (CMS). If you're familiar with word processing software, you can simply and easily add images and edit text on your website ... the way it was meant to be.

A static website is built in HTML code and can only be updated by a trained web developer.
In contrast, a website that uses a content management system (or CMS) can be edited, expanded and updated by regular users and administrators.

Most good content management systems work by organising the text, images and files for your site within a database.
Changes to your site can be made through a special database interface. Each page of your web site is then programmed to link to the CMS to retrieve the appropriate content for the page. Every time a page is visited it checks the database for its content, so any updates that are made to the CMS are immediately visible on your site. No special software is required for visitors to view a content managed web site because when the web server sends your web pages to the visitor they are sent as plain HTML, so it looks and works just like a static site.

What is a good Content Management System?
A good CMS should not require you to install any special software on your computer and you should not need to learn HTML or other coding languages. Your CMS should allow you to use HTML (if you want to), and to change fonts or layouts. Finally, but importantly, a good CMS will be fast, secure, simple and easy-to-use.

Content Management - The Warkeys Web Design Way.
We are passionate about content management and for several years the provision of Content Management Systems (CMS) has been a cornerstone of our services. Our content management systems empower our clients to perform a range of tasks for which they previously needed to hire professional developers (like us).

However, the main reason that we are so committed to content management is that our clients love to be able to update their own content.
Our commitment to making CMS affordable and successful for our clients has led us to develop content management systems that end up being cheaper than static sites.

life saving intranets.

Look at a staff survey of any business with more than around 10 people and you'll discover it's an all too common fact that many businesses are not very good at internal communications.
The good news is that, provided your staff have access to a PC with links to the internet, poor internal "communication" can be a thing of the past ... all you need is an intranet or extranet.

By definition, an intranet is a private computer network that is accessible from within an organisation. An extranet on the other hand is accessible from outside an organisation.
Nowadays, both are used to describe the same thing with just about every intranet being accessible from outside an organisation in some way. For simplicity, we always refer to intranets when talking about these types of business systems.

Just like a website, there needs to be a purpose for implementing an intranet.
An intranet can achieve a lot of things. Broadly speaking, the majority of intranets are implemented to share information across an organisation.

Extranet is similar but allows controlled access from outside a company or business.
Most extranets use the Internet as the entry point for outsiders with limited access to a website.

Extranet is mainly for business-to-business transactions and file sharing.
Introducing extranet to your organisation is beneficial if your work requires collaborating with others outside of your organisation and the ability to share information or files with partners. Warkeys Web Design has the capability to set up Intranet and Extranet depending on your organisations requirements or circumstances.

search engine marketing.

When some people start talking about 'internet marketing' they are really only thinking about search engine optimisation (SEO).
The next person you speak to might be single-minded about banner advertising or pay-per-click campaigns, like Google Adwords. In reality there is no silver bullet - there are many techniques and each of them can be productive in the right circumstances. The most important thing is to make sure that you are employing the most effective strategy for your business.

Help your customers find your website with Pay Per Click (PPC) campaigns.
Also known as 'cost per click' and 'pay per performance', is a flexible advertising platform that allows online advertisements to appear alongside traditional, "natural" search results. Your ad can be tailored specifically to the search term requested by the internet user, giving you direct control over your marketing message for specific products and services. We can help you get there with campaigns that typically include hundreds of keywords with carefully designed text ads for each product or service group offered by your business. This achieves very effective results, allowing potential customers who are already searching for the products and services you offer, to find you.

Google Ad Words is the most commonly known and used Pay per Click advertising method.
We can set up and create your Google Ad Words campaign for you. With Google Ad Words advertising you decide what you're willing to pay for each click on your ad and you can place a limit on what you'd like to spend each day (there is no minimum spending requirement).

You only pay when people click on your ad, which means you're investing in definite leads not hit or miss advertising.
Before you create your Google Ad Words campaign you need to know what are the keywords that people use when searching for your particular product or service.

We will research the keywords that are most relevant to your business.
Then we will write your ad campaigns using the keywords to attract customers who are searching for your particular products or service. Your Ad Words campaign appears immediately on page one of Google's search pages under sponsored links. This increases your opportunity to get qualified leads resulting in paying customers!

Google Ad Words is a much faster way to drive visitor traffic to your site than traditional, organic SEO methods.

search engine optimisation.

Search engine optimisation, or SEO, is the process of making a website rank higher in search engines.
It is an area that is full of over-priced consultants spouting smoke and mirrors to hide the fact that search engine optimisation is not rocket science. There is a process to it, and in many ways it is an art-form, but the vast majority of work that we do for clients in SEO, is tedious and time consuming.

85% of online internet users use search engines like Google, bing or Yahoo to find what they are looking for.
Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) can help your business stand out from your competition and get more visitors who convert the visit into sales.

We offer complete SEO services that are affordable and will help you improve your search engine rankings.
We work hard to find the right key words and phrases that will convert the visits into sales. Whether you are a start up that needs to position itself in the market or a large, successful company with an existing online presence, we can help you get more traffic and increase your conversion rates.
