Website Design and Development

Dixcart designs, develops and maintains websites, from static web brochures to database driven portals.

Database driven websites: We offer extensive expertise in the area of database driven websites. Increasingly, websites need to fulfil a multi-functional role to be as effective and cost-efficient as possible. The development objectives for such websites are not just to design an effective website that works for those visiting it, but to also integrate functionality to make the website operate as a project organiser and work tracker for the owners of the website.
Content-management systems: Functionality is key. We develop content-management systems, enabling clients to control and add content. This ensures that the websites we develop remain dynamic. Clients can be in charge of their own site, saving time and money as they do not need to constantly return to the developer to implement changes.
The approach to website development: Clients deal with one project manager to co-ordinate everything, from the initial concept, to briefing designers, developers and programmers, through to the final website. Additional elements of the website package include the ability to host websites in a secure environment, with 24 hour monitoring facilities and the marketing of websites to search engines.
Marketing: A website is part of the promotional communication package of a business. It should never be considered in isolation, but as part of the marketing mix. To work most effectively a website should reflect the identity of the particular business it represents, both visually and through its text. A website may be the start of a new approach for a business and it may therefore take the strategic lead that other marketing elements need to follow. The approach needs to be cohesive and integrated to be of maximum benefit. This means that we sometimes work with existing designers and/or the advertising agency or PR agency of a client. On other occasions we provide a design team to generate a new approach, confirming a strategic change in direction for the business.
