Website Services
Introduction
Here at Aardstorm we can provide you with a variety of website design, implementation, testing, hosting and management services. Which of our services is most appropriate to your needs depends on your requirements:
Are you a freelance professional, consultancy, or other small business or organisation?
Do you want a simple, easy to use website to effectively describe and help you promote your business or organisation?
Do you want as little involvement in the day to day running of your site as possible, so that you can spend your valuable time on your main business activities?
If this is you, then our website Design Service, and associated Hosting and Management Service will be of interest. We will provide you with a simple, easy to use website that is compatible with the major internet browsers and search engines, and designed to match your existing promotional materials. We will then also manage your site for you on a day to day basis in order to minimise your involvement with the running of your site.
Or:
Are you a creative professional, such as an artist, designer, or photographer?
Do you want a simple, easy to use website to help you promote your work, or design such sites for others?
Do you want full control over the visual appearance of your site, but don't want to be involved with technical implementation issues?
Do you want as little involvement in the day to day running of your site as possible, so that you can spend your valuable time on your creative activities?
If this is you, then our website Implementation Service, and associated Hosting and Management Service will be of interest. We will convert your detailed visual design into a fully functioning website, test it in a range of different browsers, then host it on our servers and manage it for you on a day to day basis. Please see the relevant pages of this section for further details.
Or:
Are you a website designer?
Or have you created your own website?
Or have you had a website designed for you?
Do you want assistance with checking and testing your site?
If this is you, then our standalone website Testing Service will be of interest. We can check the content and test the functionality of your website in various ways, and provide you with a report of our findings. We can also help you to correct any problems that we may find. Please see the relevant pages of this section for further details.
The remaining pages of this section describe our website design, implementation, testing, and hosting and management services in more detail. Please note, however, that our design, implementation and testing services are alternatives - you do not need to commission them in combination: our testing service is a stand-alone service for testing the work of others, while our design service automatically includes implementation, and our design and implementation services both also include relevant testing. Our hosting and management service is intended to follow on from our design and implementation services; it is not a stand-alone service: we will not host or manage sites that have not been designed or implemented by ourselves - although we will be happy to take over an existing site by redesigning or reimplementing it.
