Introduction

Web development (and software engineering in general) is based on a company's business processes.  The functionality of the website greatly depends on the type of business it is used for.

A photographer might want to make extensive use of photo galleries, while a lawyer would typically require a download section for standard forms and other legal information.  And so each and every website vary according to the type of business it serves. 

We design and develop our custom websites with the client in mind.  The result is always a unique and individual website with the exact functionality that was required. 

All our websites have the built-in ability to be updated via the browser (no additional software required).  After logging in with your username and password, you will see extra functions for editing.  The website reflects the changes immediately. 

Feel free to play with our demo page at www.webtopia.co.za/Demo.aspx

Some aspects of a website do not change on a regular basis.  Therefore these areas do not allow for editing:

  • The menu system
  • The logo
  • The layout and style of the website

Content

In order to create the content of the website, we require information about your business.  The following may help:

  • Any sales letters, brochures, articles, interviews, forms from your company will help me to understand your needs.
  • Any pictures, photos or PowerPoint presentations can be used in the design and communication of your products.  Pictures speak louder than words.
  • Your company logo

Due to our clients' wide variety of expertise, we cannot always verify the accuracy of content supplied.  We require the client to verify all content before going live.

  

Quality guarantee

We develop reliable, secure and intelligent websites.  The functionality of your website will be thoroughly tested before the final handover.  However, if at any point you discover that some of your requirements are not being met, I will rectify the matter urgently.
