A web site to meet your needs

You know your business needs a web site, but where to start?  Are you intimidated by the jargon, baffled by the range of prices and services on the Internet, uncertain what design you should adopt, wondering about integration with social media…

Or maybe you simply want to find someone you can trust to understand your business and its needs, and get on with developing an appropriate platform?

Perhaps you already have a site, but feel that it doesn’t meet your business needs? Maybe you want to have more direct control over the content, the ability to update as and when you wish…

Dovedale Design is here to serve clients with such needs.   Through a career in journalism, stockbroking and investment banking, I have spent years analysing business models, and seeking to convey them effectively in words and images.   Web design skills learnt some years ago by developing our own holiday business’s site, have been put to use and developed further on a range of clients’ sites.

Making your web presence work

Working WITH clients is what we do.  Initially by understanding the client’s needs and wishes, and implementing them;  and then by working with them in maintaining an up-to-date, relevant and effective web presence.   Sites are designed individually.  We can design ‘brochure’ sites, or sites that allow clients to develop content via blogs or Content Management Systems.

Search Engine Optimisation is an integral part of that design – it should NOT be an optional extra – and we work to refine results over time.   Out of date pages, dead links, an ineffective site – these are a bad advert for us, as well as no use to you.  In short, we wish to work as partners, not a one-off provider of cheap and cheerful designs.

Styles and platforms to suit your requirements

The examples of our work shown on this page below demonstrate several different styles of site. Simple brochure sites, sites built around a blog, or based on a Content Management system: all are available and can be tailored to your needs.
