Visual design, content management, accessibility and usability expertise, retro-fitting and web hosting. Maybe podcasts, RSS feeds, video downloads?
Creative yet responsible web design and development takes good planning, communication and hard work. The Internet is formed upons shifting sands, and every day new methodologies, techniques and guidelines come into effect. At Erskine we understand that it can be difficult to keep track of this mad new world, but we're here to help.
We love what we do, and it shows. Our process is simple yet thorough. We'll hold a design workshop for you and your team, set up a web-based project management area, map out your project, work our socks off, run usability testing and train you or your staff.
Your site will be ready for two weeks prior to your launch date, so you can live with it for a while and run a fine-toothed comb over it. On deadline and on budget, we'll launch your site when you are 100% happy with it.
Content management makes website administration easy. No more running to the web designers and paying stupid money to have a new page created or a phone number changed. Manage all your content - sections, articles, images, podcasts, RSS feeds, anything - with a powerful content management system.
Primarily, we use Expression Engine for our "back-ends", due to its flexibility, infinite plugins and modules, ease of use - and price. We are wizards with EE, and Simon has even written books about it!
We don't like to think of ourselves as "consultants", but we are experts when it comes to creating sites that are accessible on any viewing device, and by any user. With new laws coming into affect all the time, we can help you ensure that your site complies with the latest guidelines, and we can even help you set your own accessibility guideline.
That said, even accessible sites are not necessarily usable, and we can help you maximise your site's usability, ensuring your visitors understand the aims and objectives of your site, and that your information is clear and upfront, and falls into a visible hierarchy.
We love designing the visual approach to new websites, whether as layered Photoshop files or complete HTML/CSS documents (we have also written books about CSS!). Take advantage of our visual art backgrounds and let us loose with the art materials.
This has nothing to do with 70s fashion, but everything to do with bringing your website into 2007. Perhaps you shelled out a not inconsiderable sum of money to have your site revamped, but still it isn't up to scratch. Perhaps it isn't adhering to web standards and your visitors are unable to access some of the content. Let us loose on your site and we'll issue an action report for a small fee, before getting our toolbox out and tightening all the screws. Email us for more info.
If you need a custom package to host your website, or you're just tired of paying through the nose for a myriad of additional services that you don't actually need, then give us a call. We can put something simple together especially for our clients.
