A sensible and structured approach
Your website plays an important part in shaping customers perception of your business. For a business to succeed in todays competitive market you need to be different. Your web site is the 'public face' of the business and often the first place customers will look.
A website needs to be practical, designed to provide useful information and a tool for building a relationship with your customers.
Sensible Web Solution will deliver a fully managed solution which includes the following key components.
- Design and testing of a layout
- Standards based implementation
- Domain registration and hosting
- Maintenance service credits to keep the site fresh
Layout design
A website is there to serve a purpose which is to play a key part in generating business. This goal is kept in mind when designing the layout. As a client you will receive secure login access to the Project Management portal. The portal provides a number of key benefits:
- You can view the website in construction within the 'sandbox' area
- Provide immediate feedback on any aspect of the site which can be incorporated into the development
- View a current list of action items and who they're assigned to
- Gain visibility of the key requirements so we don't lose focus of the end goal
Standards based implementation
Sites are built to ensure they are compliant with the latest coding standards. The site will be checked to ensure it adheres to CSS and XHTML standards. Compatability with Microsoft Internet Explorer versions 6, 7 and Mozilla Firefox is guaranteed. So you can be sure that your customers can access and use the business website.
Domain registration and hosting
Make sure your final web site stands on a solid foundation. Sensible Web Solution uses Fasthosts the largest hosting provider in the UK. This ensures your customers are not kept waiting for pages to appear on their browser and the site is open for business 24x7 throughout the year.
Maintenance and after sales
A web site needs to contain fresh content to encourage customers to visit often. Special offers and promotions can be advertised to drive sales. Every Sensible Web Solution includes a pack of 8 maintenance credits. You can use these during the first year to request any changes that you'd like to make.
Changes are requested by logging into a secure site and raising a change request ticket. Service credits are used to purchase development time. Each service credit provides 30 minutes of maintenance work; so you only pay for work you need. Additional credits can be purchased in packs of 10.
