			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We designed the original site for <a href="http://www.grantonyouth.com">The Granton Youth Centre</a> several years ago now and they are ready to make some site updates and additions/deletions which we are only too happy to do for them.</p>
<p>They have had a slight rebranding and have become a limited company so are semi-relaunching themselves in order to let a wider audience know who they are and what they do.  We will therefore be adapting their current site to suit this new information and will probably be rebuilding the basic layout using CSS rather than its current tables-based layout.</p>
<p>We&#8217;ll post a link to the finished site once it has been completed.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.actinic.co.uk/index.shtml">Actinic</a> is a piece of software that can allow you to have a fully-featured ecommerce store up and running quickly and easily.</p>
<p>It allows us to develop the look and design of your website and then upload this to a web server which you can then use a piece of desktop software to connect to, to update and administer your website and the orders that you receive. It allows you to run special offers, discounts, add categories, edit products, assign product attributes (such as sizes for clothes, colours etc) and all without having to know a single piece of web design code!</p>
<p>Although it comes with built-in layouts these are for the most part very simplistic and we would strongly advise you to come to us to allow us to develop a custom look for your site that includes your own logos/colour schemes and images so that it best appeal to your potential clients.  As well as providing you with the basic design of your ecommerce site we can also help you get used to the software and train you on some of the more advanced capabilities that it offers.</p>
<p>If you are interested in setting up an ecommerce site and are operating on a tight budget then why not <a href="http://www.arcas.co.uk/Contactus.html">get in touch with </a>us to find out more?</p>
