GILESTECH BUILDS SITES THAT WORK FOR YOU
Ultimately, a web site is a tool. It has a function. It communicates. It interacts. It represents you when you cannot be present. You want it to be effective.
The first thing a visitor experiences on your web site is the design. The second thing is the utility. Both these elements must come together to create a positive effect. Only then will your site work effectively for you.
DESIGN IS CRUCIAL
Since it is the first thing the visitor to the site experiences, our designers work very hard to deliver the best. And good design is not easy to do. Our designers sweat over their work. They are creative and they are careful. They ensure that the navigation is intuitive and that the site loads quickly and cleanly. Different types of sites require different thinking and a different approach. They design a site to suit the mood as there is nothing more jarring than a web site design that is out of place for the occasion. A corporate site requires a very different feel than one for a heavy metal band.
OUR GRAPHICS ARE EXCELLENT
This is an important element, as there must be a fine balance between the need for clarity and sharpness and the need to
be fast loading. Even with improved bandwidth in many parts of the world, visitors appreciate fast and efficient sites. Our web designers and graphics people can deliver any requirement you may have. They work in a wide variety of
media, from hand sketching to Flash and the latest multimedia developments.
CONSTRUCTION IS IMPORTANT
In actually fact, a web site is a long string of coding that tells the web browser how to display a page. This coding needs to be well done, with no extra code or unnecessary frills. Hand coding is the best and gives you solid, reliable sites with the lightest possible footprint and best performance. All our sites are hand coded - using HTML and DHTML coding, and Java scripts.
PROGRAMMING MUST BE SOLID
Modern web sites are getting increasingly complex and interactive. We can provide specialty software programming for a broad range of web related solutions. Our programmers work in ASP, JSP, CGI/Perl, CFM, PHP, Flash and more. We can also work with specialty languages, like ColdFusion or InstantLogic. This programming must be cleanly coded, and extensively tested, and that is an GilesTech speciality.
DATABASES REQUIRE PLANNING AND UPKEEP
If your web plans include incorporating a database, no matter how simple or complex, talk to us about developing it, maintaining it, and getting the most efficient use from it. Careful planning the database structure in advance and meticulous maintenance on an on-going basis are vital to the health and efficiency of your site.
HOSTING AND MAINTENANCE
If you require it, GilesTech offers economical web hosting for smaller sites, or can help you acquire and maintain a server of your own for a larger site. Regular and competent maintenance is necessary to keep a web site running efficiently.
YOUR OUTSOURCING PARTNER OR PROJECT MANAGER
Sometimes you may have requirements for workers for a special project or you want to maximize the value of your staffing budget. GilesTech can arrange for dedicated workers, supervised on our premises, who will work with your design or content people to deliver the quality coding or the superior graphics you require. Due to time zone differences, our workers can deliver the goods overnight. That is great news for rush projects or demanding schedules. We can supervise the project, or help with the GUI or other design requirements, or just get you reliable information as to what is going on with your project. It really helps to have a competent friend on site and we can do that for you.
