Web Design

As mentioned in our introduction we always aim for the highest standards of service, quality of work and value for money, this area of work is where we believe our strong questioning and listening skills really come to the fore. With our skills and your knowledge in your chosen area of business we can work together to formulate a website that will make an impact in your business area.  

Our websites can range from a static "brochure" website through to an e commerce site selling thousands of items or services anywhere in the world. 

All of our websites are all built to grow with your business. They are developed in frameworks that allow your site to be altered, extended or new features added to a high standard within a short period of time. A text editor is included in each of these websites so any updates that you wish to do can be done quickly and simply through the admin system, it's not difficult and full training is given with each website that we build. 

Because each website is unique, yours will be specifically developed for the market in which you work. The basics of the website should include exactly what your business has to offer visitors. The site's navigation should be clear and concise as to ensure that it is user friendly, contact options are clearly displayed, if your business offers multiple products the most important ones are in prominent positions, if your site has an online shop the buying process is simple and clearly understood, just as importantly the text should be both inviting and easily read. 

Every visitor to your website is a potential customer so you need a website that ensures that every interaction counts…Ice Maiden Design will build you that site!

Copywriting 

Know what you want to say but finding putting your thoughts into words difficult? 

Mistakes can be made so easily but for a website that you have put so much attention into these mistakes can mean the difference between gaining a new customer and losing them to a competitor. The little things that are missed can be seen as a lack of care or attention and not project your company to its full potential.  

The text is the most important element of any website so let our copywriter's compliment the website you either currently have or are in the process of having built. The website could be everything you wished for but after all that effort would you want to jeopardize its success by not using a professional copywriter? 

Our copywriters will take your thoughts and ensure that they are written in a way that is not only easy for the website visitor to understand but keeps them interested in your business and what you would like them to do next. The text will be easy to read but as importantly search engine friendly to help with your page rankings. 

All text is written with internet marketing in mind so let us fulfill your website potential.

Please contact us to discuss your thoughts and needs. 

Photography

Well written text describing a product or service in invaluable, however, complimented with a high quality clear picture really gives impact to the well written words and enables the potential customer to see exactly why they should do business with you.

Internet Marketing 

Fantastic website, well written text and perhaps even some high quality pictures that show your business to its full potential… now how do we go about getting potential customers to look at it? 

Google Ad Words !

Ad words is the first choice because up to 75% of all searches are carried out via Google, however, Yahoo also has a strong presence in the UK and if your budget allows is a good avenue for advertising also.

Our internet marketing can develop and even run Google Ad words campaign for you to ensure that you will appear on the first page of Google for your chosen keywords. 

This is achieved by using the "pay per click" sponsored listings that are found on the right hand side of each page. This is a development that allows any business to appear on the first page within hours of their website been listed on Google.

The beauty of this method of advertising is that unlike conventional methods you only pay when someone visits your website and as you are always in control of your budget you decide when and how often it is available. 

We can take all of the worry or uncertainty you may have regarding this effective way of marketing, let us work together to maximize the potential of your website within a set budget determined by you and your business.
