S&P Technology

Website Design

We offer website design, development, support and hosting for small and medium sized businesses and for individuals. We can work on a one-off basis or on an on-going support contract.

We believe that most website visitors prefer a clean uncluttered appearance, fast page loading and clear navigation. Our website design services follow this belief, so you won't find Flash animations, huge images, Java applets or lots of client-side scripting in our websites. We build websites based on common open-source technologies such as Apache, PHP and MySQL, and avoid proprietory technologies such as Frontpage and Flash.

We ensure that our websites are fully compliant with web standards to ensure cross-browser compatibility. All websites are tested on a variety of browsers and platforms (including Mac OS-X and Linux) to avoid unpleasant surprises for your visitors and loss of potential business for you.

We can offer eCommerce solutions based on the JShop Server eCommerce software. If we will be hosting the completed website and taking care of the maintenance and updates this can be done on our Developer license. Alternatively if you wish to take full control of the completed site we can offer a package including your own JShop license.

We can work in static XHTML and CSS, possibly with a small amount of PHP for menus etc. This is the prefered option when changes are infrequent and would be handled by us (this S&P Technology website is built that way).

Alternatively we can offer Content Management System (CMS) based websites where we complete the website design and you take care of the content changes and additions through a web-based interface. Our preferred CMS is Website Baker which is free open-source software and has a user-friendly interface.

Sometimes the only solution is custom written code for your specific needs. We can help with this too, if PHP and MySQL are appropriate technologies. Generally the custom code would be for specific aspects of the website, with the rest built using one of the options mentioned above.

Please take a look at some of the sites in our portfolio to appreciate our standard and style of work, then contact us to discuss your needs.
