Web Design Darlington
Website Design
Website design is about expressing yourself and creating the right image that you want to portray to your customers. If you want your website to become successful, it has to be both intuitive and easy to use for any user. MDS Solutions are a web design company that can help you achieve these goals and all of the services we offer are completed in house rather than outsourcing to other companies.
As a Darlington Web Design company, we'll initially work with you to get the right design and layout for your website, then we'll move onto items such as navigation, content, usability and accessibility. As we build your site up, we can look at what features you want to offer to the users of your website, and make any design decisions based on the outcome of these discussions.
We see website design as a partnership, and that's how we like to promote our services. We'll work with you for as long as you want or need our business web site design services, and provide you with the assistance you need to help make your website successful. For website design in Darlington, we hope that you'll want to create this partnership with us and we look forward to helping other local businesses achieve their goals.
Website Builder
Using our very own custom built content management system (CMS), you can keep your website up to date, adding new pages, editing existing ones and even changing the overall design of the site.
Don't worry though, we'll still do all of the hard work up front, like getting your requirements for the website, designing it to look just how you want and even setting you up with your own domain name and email addresses.
Our Website Builder uses its powerful database and front end to allow you to create dynamic websites, utilising features that other Darlington web design companies can only dream of providing you. We will help you make your website a success with features such as blogs, forums, shopping carts, image galleries, ticket systems, custom forms and much, much more.
We even cater for other professionals who want to take advantage of our website builder; all styles on our system are overridable, and web designers have access to full CSS control meaning you can create a completely custom website design. Have a look at some of our sites in our portfolio to see how we've managed to create visually different websites using this completely customisable feature set.
Search Engine Optimisation - Darlington SEO
SEO is about the process of improving your website to achieve better rankings in search engine results (e.g. in Google, Yahoo, MSN etc).
We'll help you and your website by optimising web page content, it's structure, meta-data and incoming links. We'll help perform monthly analysis of your site and look at how users are visiting your site, where they are coming from and how they found you. With this information we can help you tailor your site to the market and increase the traffic to your website.
Since our formation, our SEO has helped local businesses achieve results with their websites, with unique web design, search engine marketing and SEO strategies. Along the way we have ineviatably gained invaluable experience in SEO and knowledge of what works online and this is what we offer to you with any website we create. We see SEO as an ongoing process that needs a lot of care and attention, and if you go into business with us we'll treat this as a on-going partnership that needs regular care and attention; after all the better your website does the more likely you are to be happy and recommend us to others which is a great incentive for us to do well!
E-Commerce
The Internet has created a new marketplace for both buyers and sellers by creating the opportunity for businesses to deal with customers they may not have reached before. Furthermore, e-commerce websites are a medium that often arouse a customer's interest; it is a quick way of making a purchase that is both convenient and cost effective.
Where we come in is by providing you the means to reach these customers. Our e-commerce shop is natively built into our Website Builder and allows you to control your product range and manage orders directly. You can control the categories that products belong to, any descriptions and images that show off your products as well as well as set any custom attributes that your products have (e.g size, colour etc). You'll even be able to track all of your orders and customer details for any purchases that are made and these can provide you a complete history of how your business is progressing online.
Our Website Builder will even help you sell your products! When you add, modify or delete a product we'll take the information you've provided and create an XML file with details about the product, taking it's price, title and direct URL which you can then provide to Google's product search to help them provide direct links to products that people are searching for.
Social Networking
Social Networking is a fast growing means of keeping in touch with people you know, providing updates on what you are doing and also meeting new people. These services can be accessed from anywhere that has an internet connection, from a wide range of technologies meaning that you can provide frequent updates at any time of the day from any location.
Taking this idea, innovative businesses can utilise this network and turn it into a great marketing tool. From social networking websites such as Facebook, Twitter, Digg and Reddit to online blogs of friends, family and colleagues they all share the same advantage of being able to reach an enormous amount of people.
We've taken this approach when designing our ever evolving website builder. It will allow you to create online blogs where you can showcase any articles or thoughts you may have and your users can subscribe to receive these blogs via the built in RSS feeds that your site will automatically produce. You'll even be able to follow in the footsteps on some of the big names (such as Dell, Samsung and Ford) by providing regular updates to your customers. These tools are just another great way of how we'll help you promote your site by creating as much interest as possible.
Support
Supporting you with your website is the key to us forming a good relationship. We want you to help and support you with your website whether that is with web design issues, marketing advice, search engine optimisation or technical help and we've come up with lots of ways of provide this.
We have an online ticketing system that customers can use to log any issues with us, with email alerts to inform you of our responses and the ability to track and discuss any help you may need. We also have a knowledge base that provides answers on frequently asked questions from how to use the Website Builder to how products can be displayed in your online shop.
We can also provide quick and easy support via MSN Messenger and email, so please view our contact page for these addresses (it helps us cut down on the amount of spam sent to us by not displaying the email addresses in text format!). We also like to think that providing you with regular updates on what we are doing will help support your decisions on what you are using your website for.
