Web Design Services

A website is perhaps the most powerful tool available to all levels of organisation and businesses today and if you aren't making the most of it then you are potentially losing business with each day that passes. That is why we believe it is important, for small businesess and charities in particular, to make the most of this potential.

Given the current financial climate it has become even more important to make sure that your website works for you and brings in money rather than costs you it!  Our web design services are all fairly and tranparently priced whilst still remaining extremely competitive and we are happy to work to tight budgets.  Our studio can handle everything from initial designs to page builds to server configuration, hosting, database and CMS configuration, search engine optimisation - basically every service that you could possibly need!

Take Control Of Your Site!

Arcas are proud to be specialists in the Joomla 1.5 open source content management system.

What is it?  Simply put this is a free system which allows you to quickly and easily update your website without any web design knowledge whatsoever. It is developed by a community of people across the world, therefore it is not proprietary and all the information on how to use the system is freely available on the Internet.

There is also a vast number (currently over 4500!) add-ons for the system to allow the basic functionality to be extended quickly and easily - for example image galleries, ecommerce systems and forums.

The Design Process

We believe that our clients should be actively involved at every stage of the design process to ensure that you get a site that you are happy with. Unlike some other studios we will not force a design on you - though of course we will be happy to use our experience to guide you as to the best route to take for your site.

Search Engine Optimisation

With an ever-increasing number of websites appearing on the Internet it is now not enough to merely have a website - you have to make sure that it is as appealing to search engines as possible in order to ensure that your site is ranked more highly than you competitors.

The process of changing a site to make it more appealing to search engines is called search engine optimisation and you can  find out more about it here.
