Web review & design services
How effective is your Web site?

There is growing awareness that an effective Web strategy does not simply put the company brochure on-line. As part of our e-Commerce consultancy services, the Web site review is a specialist service aimed at evaluating and reviewing the effectiveness of a Web site in relation to the business objectives of an organization.

The expertise of our team of specialists ranges from the development of Web site requirements to full e-Commerce systems implementations. We can provide you with an objective review that includes analysis of the following areas:

  • How easy it is for your potential customers and suppliers to locate a Web site
  • Ease of navigation within a web site - are potential customers failing to find relevant Web pages?
  • Site design in relation to the target market
  • Potential of the Web site to generate consumer information
  • Implementation of e-Commerce solutions in organizations
  • Impact of the Web site on business processes
  • Consumer loyalty - are site visitors encouraged to come back?
  • Use of appropriate technologies to deliver information.

The success stories of the World Wide Web are those sites that are consumer-focused and developed as integral rather than supplementary to business goals and expectations. A Web site review can determine where Web sites are failing to meet these objectives, serving as a series of guidelines for the development of revised business e-Commerce strategies.

Developing effective web sites

To maintain an effective Web presence, a site needs regular review, something in which our independent specialists have substantial expertise.
Should you require aid in redeveloping your Web site as a result of our review, or if you are considering developing a new Web site, we can provide a Web design service to suit your needs. This is performed by specialist consultants who have an understanding not only of the technologies and their applications but also of the business and information needs within organizations. By guiding your staff or by acting as an interface between you and Web developers, we can help identify the appropriate solutions to meet your objectives in integrating your Web site into business systems.

Examples of relevant consultancy experience include the design, development and maintenance of 20 Internet Web sites for a major educational PLC; the design and development of an Internet Web site for the International arm of a professional practice.
