Web Design & Development
In today's world, everyone knows how important it is to have an online presence, whether by having an own website, blog or even a profile on a social networking websites such as Facebook®.
Having a website online is like having a brochure which can be viewed from anywhere in the world, at anytime throughout all year.
Moreover if the website is created using a CMS, this gives the ability for the website owner and / or editors, to edit the content at anytime they want.
We can help in developing your idea into a fully functional website, which looks good but more importantly reaches your goals. That is why from the analysis stage of web development the client and developers must know what the website is going to communicate and who will be the target audience. A good website is done by using good coding practices and taking care of accessibility, user friendliness and being search engine friendly.
After a website is launched the next thing a client wants is for his/her site to have top ranking in the major search engines.
This is where SEO comes along. Here is a list of simple tips to keep in mind to help your site being successful (not in order of importance):
- Choose a domain name that relates to your business name or website's content. Keep it simple so that anyone could remember it but try to avoid abbreviations.
For example if an IT company is called, "IT Market Malta" you can use itmarket.com.mt or itmarket.com but I wouldn't recommend using:
a. itmm.com.mt - ITMM can be an abbreviation for something else rather than IT Market Malta
b. itmarketmalta.com.mt - the .mt at the end of a domain name itself suggests that the business is located in Malta so there is no need to repeat Malta twice!!! - Link exchange - One easy way to boost traffic into your website is through link exchange. This means exchanging links with other websites (partners), normally having much of the same content.
- Adding the site to the major search engines such as Google™, Bing™ and Yahoo®.

PSD to XHTML/CSS conversion
If you already have a design, we can convert it from .psd to XHTML and CSS so that you will have a website design that works. We can also create Javascript rollover effects for images and navigation menus. On special requests we can implement Javascript image slideshows and other effects you see on the web today. We are familiar with popular frameworks such as MooTools and jQuery.
If your website should require any kind of forms, we can implement any form for you and include client side validation, so that you will have more control over the data you receive from these forms. For example we can implement required field validation, where the user has to fill in specific fields in order to submit, e-mail validation where the user has to provide a valid e-mail address such as somename@company.com and other validations.

SEO and analytics
SEO is the process of fine tuning a website to increase the number of visitors. Typically a highly visited website has a high page ranking in search engines such as Google™, Bing™ and Yahoo®. Good quality content is what make a website successful.
