Web Site Design
Moonshine Design believes that every web site should
be as unique as possible, we don't use a template page and just fill
in clients details, we discuss various topics - the web sites goals,
target audience, layout, design, keywords and much more. After consultation
we start with a blank sheet / screen and perceive the sites structure,
navigation, content and design, during this development stage search
engine friendliness, accessibility and any other specifications agreed
on are built-in.
Once we have produced the draft site its published on the internet for
private viewing, any adjustments can then be implemented, after clients
approval the complete web site is transferred to their Internet Service
Provider (ISP). Clients are supplied with a CD of the site and we keep
a back up copy for security. Complete web site maintenance services
are available with various levels of site updating and search engine
submission
Web sites can be built incorporating Flash, Gif animation, WAP, database
integration, e-commerce etc.
We offer tailor made solutions to fit ALL budgets, contact us now to
discuss your unique requirements.

Web Site
Hosting
Our Hosting Service is very flexible, we don't require
customers to take out more web space and bandwidth than required. Extra
bandwidth and web space can be increased as and when the need arises,
they can also be purchased separately, creating maximum flexibility.
All hosting packages come complete with a web panel to view site statistics
and logs, unlimited e-mail forwarding ie. anythingyouwant@yourdomain-name.co.uk
If you are using one of our hosting packages, .co.uk & org.uk domain
names can be transferred to our server free of charge*
domain names can also be transferred away from our server free of charge.
We believe this is probably the best package on offer anywhere.
* Excluding all NIC renewal fees as and
when due.

Web
Site Accessibility
There are many issues covered under this heading,
all of which affect your web site:
1. PC's (Personal Computers)and Mac's (Apple Macintosh).
Both of these computers will view your web site differently, most web
sites can be viewed by PC's, some will appear different on a Mac, worse
still some will not be visible at all.
Although the PC way out numbers the Mac, they still make up a sizable
amount of potential customers ( 3.5% of operating systems used on the
net in Nov. 2000 were Mac
- source: websnapshot.mycomputer.com )
We use both to design and check viewability on the web.
Browser Compatibility:
The main two are Internet Explorer and Netscape (
IE has 75.2%, Netscape 17% of the browsers used on the net in Nov. 2000
- source: websnapshot.mycomputer.com ) these browsers can view
sites completely differently, with Netscape being unable to see certain
pages at all.
We recommend compatibility for both, or at least the building of a mirror
site to be viewed by Netscape.
Access for all:
There are 8.6 million people in the UK with some
form of disability, including 1.7 million who have some form of visual
impairment, from mild to severe.
In May 1999 the government launched the Web Accessibility Initiative's,
(WAI) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines and according to a report
from the Royal National Institute for the Blind (RNIB) of 17 high street
companies web sites, none fulfill all of the basic criteria required
for making them accessible to the visually impaired.
Don't lose out on all these customers, speak to us about making your
site accessible to all.
Are your Designers Aware - of all these
issues?

Domain Name
Searching
We offer this service to clients who are finding
it difficult to find a suitable domain name. It's a fact that nearly
every word in the dictionary, all three letter combinations and a vast
amount of dynamic names and phrases have already been purchased in .com,
and .co.uk.
Even if your company name is available i.e. jyzx.com, it can also be
beneficial to purchase a more generic name e.g. if your company JYZX
sell shoes it might also be useful to acquire a name such as shoes.com
or something similar and catchy like shoes4u.com (both names taken).
Let us do the hard work, Moonshine Design can undertake the domain name
searching for you, we have designed a system that can turn up a large
variety of available domain names on your chosen topic/theme, we can
then purchase one, some or all of the names for you, or you are free
to purchase the names independently, the choice is yours.

Search Engine Submission
& Optimising
High ranking in Search Engines and Internet Directories
are a very important part of marketing on the Internet, if a web site
is not listed in a high enough position, most surfers will be unaware
that it exists. Over 80% of new web site customers come from the first
three pages of results returned from the search engines.
Moonshine Design specialize in search engine optimising and submission,
we understand the complexities involved in achieving a high ranking.
Through dialogue with our clients we agree on certain keywords and phrases
they want to be found with, we then visit their web site and recommend
any changes required. Some sites can require a little tweaking or a
makeover, while others may necessitate a complete redesign.

Moonshine Design takes guessing out of the equation.
We personally submit clients web sites to the most popular search engines,
unlike some companies who use software programs to do this - certain
search engines ignore web sites submitted by such programs. We will
monitor the positions achieved and make any adjustment required, notifying
clients by e-mail of its progress, results can take some time and may
involve creating and submitting a "gateway" page numerous
times i.e. pages designed to suit a individual search engines ranking
criteria. The way search engines rank sites is continually changing,
web sites need to be up-to-date with any changes, if they want to stay
ahead of their competition.
