Every business needs a website these days - it's as essential as a business card and headed paper. We design and build websites of all flavours and will tailor your site to your specific business needs. Whether you want a simple online presence, a full e-commerce website or just an elegant way to present your products, services or ideas.

We design and build static websites, dynamic data-driven sites, Flash animated sites and content-managed sites. We also offer the full range of web services - see Technical Services and Website Add-ons for more details.

The key to a good website is being sure about its purpose and its audience: what is it for and who is it for? Is it meant to entertain, to sell, or to encourage people to contact you? We discuss this with you before we start any work on building your site.

Organisation is also essential from the outset. To be effective, your site must be simple for anyone to understand and be easy to quickly find the information they need. We've all seen those websites with hundreds of different links and pages that seem to scroll down forever, making it almost impossible to find the one item you want. We've also seen websites with annoying animations every time you try to open a new page. We help you organise the way your information (text, pictures, prices etc.) is presented so that visitors can find what they need, they enjoy the experience and will visit again in the future.

Most websites need to be updated at some point. In some cases updates are needed every day while for others once a year is enough. Depending on your technical skills and how often you want web updates made, we can build your website with or without a Content Management System (CMS). With a CMS you can easily make updates as often as you like without any clever technical skills. Alternatively, Leaf Media can manage your site and make updates whenever you want us to.

Our brochure-style 'starter' websites are built using either HTML or Adobe Flash and include a 'home' page; a 'products/services' page; an 'about' page with details about you/your business; and a 'contact' page with a contact form (call the pages anything you like, of course).

Leaf Media's bespoke websites offer the full range of web services. You can have a full Content Management System, online shopping, picture gallery, private client login area, animation, movies, mp3 juke box, forums, blogs, downloads, feedback forms and much more. Please see Website Add-ons for more details or contact us with any questions you have.
