A smart, accessible and usable website says a lot about your organisation; whether you want your website to support your existing business activities, or generate new ones a Website from Wessex Networks should be a priority. Some of the main issues surrounding web development and our approach to them are outlined below.

As a general rule of thumb, a good site has to be pleasing to the eye. If you don't have a website or identity, we love the blank sheet of paper and this is where our most creative ideas come from, our blank projects have been some of the most successful. Alternatively, if your company has a corporate identity, or your product already has a brand, Wessex Networks are expertly equipped to ensure accurate reproduction of that brand, theme or image on the web.

For most of our clients in the SME market, the procedure and cost of keeping the website up to date can almost be as important as the initial build. Wessex Networks use a range of open-source content management systems that allow any member of your organisation to keep the website up to date using little more skill than that required for Microsoft Word. This keeps long-term costs down, and helps achieve ROI in a shorter time-span.

You will often hear the quality of building jobs referred to as quality of finish. We believe strongly that one of the marks of a great website is it's quality of finish. If your website is built by Wessex Networks, rest assured it will be one of the best in the business.

Wessex Networks are a firm believer in open, ratified standards which enable websites to look the same, and behave the same on all computers and all browsers. 90% of the world uses Internet Explorer, and all too often a web design agency will label the other 10% as "insignificant". With the advent of alternative browsers such as Mozilla Firefox, and the growing Apple Safari, there is no excuse for ignoring these minorities. Adherence to accepted web standards ensures this does not happen.

Just as some web agencies do not know about life outside of Internet Explorer, many do not acknowledge disabled or visually impaired visitors despite it being a legal requirement. Adherence to open-standards and accessibility guidelines ensures these visitors receive the same positive user experience as every other visitor, and are not discriminated against.

An online quotation system or a content management system are both examples of dynamic applications that you might want to integrate into your website. Wessex Networks are experienced developers of bespoke internet applications, as well as integrating and extending existing solutions.
