Services We Provide to Help Build Web-Sites
The Design Process
The Gendec Design team has many years experience at creating user-interfaces. These skills are applied when working with Clients to provide the most appropriate and pleasing web-experience for their visitors. Where necessary, we work with our sister-company to perfect the aesthetics and ensure that the highest standards are maintained.
Hosting Services
For clients who require high bandwidth, with very little down-time, we work closely with Jumba to provide Hosting Services. They have an excellent record for reliability. A client can choose to deal directly with Jumba, or we can handle all support issues, and liaise with the Jumba team when appropriate.
Flash Development
The Flash plug-in is near ubiquitous in the Browser world. Used with restraint, this provides an excellent method to draw attention to the the important facets of a web page. However, Flash development is not for the faint-hearted. For menus and banners, many good templates are available quite inexpensively, and we can tailor these to suit a given situation.
Third Party Add-ins
Many services are available from third-party suppliers − Shopping Carts, Blog Databases, Search-Engine Optimisation, etc. At Gendec Design, we can advise where these products offer the best value. Whatever products are chosen, there will inevitably be a degree of customisation required.
Technical Aspects
An important part of any web-site implementation is to ensure that full functionality is delivered on the majority of Browsers currently in use. Depending on the level of market-penetration chosen by the client, we test all sites we develop to cover that market.
The baseline for all sites is coverage of over 90% of the market with support for IE6, IE7+, and Firefox2+. In an earlier section, we mentioned the inverse relationship between web-site complexity and the ability of Browsers to deliver content without problems. This is a balance we work hard to get right.
