"How will a website help your business?"
Between the year 2000 and 2008 there has been a growth in internet users in Ireland by over 200% and growing. Most people now use the internet to find products and service and why not, with search engines being able to find information faster then you can scan a phone book and returning detailed information on a company website. You can imagine how much it would cost to advertise that level of information in a directory!. Whether you are a small or large business the internet is an effective way to showcase your products and improve business.
Design of a web site is not just about how it looks, while being important; its also about analysing the need for the site and how it can be best used to improve business, every business has different objectives and its important to the build the necessary functionality into the site to meet the required objectives.
The look and feel of the web site design needs to be appropriate to the business and reflect the business image. Design is also about ensuring usability of the site and the functionality of the layout, while all the time ensuring the design is accessible and standards compliant.

"The nuts and bolts behind design"
Many people fail to understand the meaning of the term development in relation to web design, in one sense it is the nuts and bolts that brings the design to fruition, its about making the design function in the way it was intended.
Modern web sites now have a much wider variety of tools to give a greater degree of functionality to a website, as a result website design not only needs graphic design skills it also requires programming skills and its in this area where development usually applies. Development therefore uses a variety of coding methods to bring the design together, delivering a website that looks and functions in a way that was specified in the design.
An example of development is a solution that will enable you to update content on a website with ease. These systems are know as CMS or 'Content Management System', which can be developed around any website. They enable anyone in your company to update your website content without the need of having extensive web design skills.
