Our Services
There are five simple steps to getting your website online. The Web Foundry can help you through the entire process from start to finish.
Domain Registration
Choosing the right domain name is a bit like choosing the name of your business.
A domain name is a unique name that identifies an Internet site. Domain names have to be registered with a company called a registrar. We can help you by:
- Advising you on which name to choose
- Finding a registrar
- Managing the registration process
Design
Whether your business is already operating online or just testing the water, having a well designed website will undeniably increase your business opportunities and help boost your profile locally, nationally, and globally.
There are many factors which have to be considered when designing a website. The Web Foundry can help you to choose a design that will be accepted by visitors to your site, complies with all current legislation, and remains within your budget.
Development
Development is the process of taking a design and turning it into a website. The length of the development cycle depends very heavily on the complexity of the design.
We use a number of industry standard tools and processes to create your website. We include a rigorous testing procedure within the development cycle to ensure that your website works first time, every time.
The result of a development cycle would be a set of files that make up your web site. These files are then ready to be installed on a web server.
Hosting
Once built your website will need to be installed on a web server. The website will then live on the web server and your domain name will be configured to direct visitors to the web server.
The Web Foundry can provide you with a number of hosting solutions depending on the size and popularity of your website. Our hosting solutions come complete with email, webmail, and statistics tracking.
Maintenance
There is nothing worse than reading an out of date web page. It is vital to update your website at regular intervals in order to keep the content fresh, visitors interested, and customers returning.
The Web Foundry can provide all your website maintenance requirements, from simple updates to full scale redesigns.
