WEBSITE DESIGN
A company's web site is often the first point
of contact for any prospective customer; it is therefore a vital
asset to any business or venture. Here at The Solutions Factory
we believe that the design should be simple, clear and easy to
read and navigate. We also believe that the design should be
customer led. Your brand is unique and your website must reflect
that.
The Solutions Factory develops websites on PCs using HTML, PHP,
ASP and .NET. Programs used include Macromedia Dreamweaver, Macromedia
Fireworks, Macromedia Flash, Adobe Photoshop, and the open source
content management system Joomla!. Joomla! will need to be hosted
on a server that has PHP, MySQL and Apache. Facilities that require
pages to be generated automatically such as emails in response
to contact requests are created using Active Server Pages. The
site must be hosted at an Internet Service
Provider who can support
this.
For more insight into our website design philosophy and how design
is an ongoing learning process, even for us, see
our blog.
Here are some examples of the websites that we have
designed over the years.
Modal Group Ltd: Transport Planning and Consultancy
The website uses the open source Joomla! content management system which is easily updateable from any web browser by the client. As part of the package, the site will be made as fully optimized for search engines as possible.

Honeybuns
Honeybuns is a bakery based in Dorset. They use a graphic
designer who designs all of their branding, that is their
packaging and stationary. Using her designs we created this
website. It is very colourful and has a lot of graphics,
so it was a quite a challenge to make into an efficient site.
Updating is mostly done by the client using Adobe Contribute.
This site also includes an e-commerce shop, for more information
