Services
We can create your web-site and Corporate Identity from the ground up. If you've already invested in a strong visual styling we can match it and compliment it with our design. If you're looking for a fresh start we can do logo design, stationary and business cards to match.
Site Design
Your web site isn't a billboard and it's not a TV ad. If it can be compared to any traditional media, it would be a magazine article. Not an ad in a magazine, but a glowing article that makes you want to track down the company.
With that in mind, we focus our artistic eye on leading your customer to the content you want them to see. We don't distract them with bleeding edge animations, we don't show off the brand new javascript effects that won't load on half your audience's platforms. We design clear, clean pages that compliment your business and your message.
Search Engine Optimisation
There are two ways to do this. The right way and the wrong way.
Black Hat SEO involves finding tricks, abusing loopholes and then finding more tricks when the loopholes close. It requires constant attention and if the search engines find out, they will delete you from their lists. Is that the cost you want to pay to get on the first page?
Here at Civicnet we wear a white hat and understand that the time that could be spent trying to fool the search engine spiders can be better served making your site easy to find and full of useful content. If humans like your site then so will Google.
Recent success stories include the 'North Queensland Lattice' distributors who jumped onto the first page for these keywords or the 'Chemical metering and mixing' company that landed at number 5 in the world for these keywords.
WC3 code
We code our sites to be compliant with the 'World Wide Web Consortium' standards. Not only will it make it easier for search engines to find your content, users with visual impairment can find what they're after. Did you know that 480,000 people in Australia have a visual impairment in both eyes? Would you turn away one in every 40 people from your store for no good reason?
Logo Design
Your logo is the face of your business. We have experience in creating branding for a variety of businesses and a knowledge of what to say and how to say it. Your logo will be designed to catch the eye and appeal to your potential customers.
Stationary
With over a decade of experience we can provide letter heads and business cards for your company that impress. Our designs have covered cards, folders, shirts pants, vehicles and been projected in theatre venues. With the one designer there exists a consistency through your public face.
Mobile Devices
In this world of immediate access the internet can appear on all manner of devices. For a very modest amount you can have a handheld device version added to your site. With the sensible structure of WC3 code this addition is a very small jump.
Spam Obfuscation
Spam spiders scour the internet looking for e-mail addresses. We obscure your e-mail address so that spiders can't find it but your customers still can.
Hosting
Not only do we design and code your site, we can also host it. We take our site hosting very seriously and recommend that our clients host with us for the following reasons
- We know our server back to front and so all the development we do for your web site will be completed faster thus saving you money.
- If anything goes wrong with your site or email you do not need to worry about whom to call (your hosting provider or us). We handle it all (except your actual connection to the Internet which is handled by your ISP)
