Q: What is good website design?
A: Design that generates results. Results happens when individuals skilled
in business and brand strategy, information architecture, and graphic
design produce a website design solution that is customized to meet a
particular client's business objectives. Good web design is a means to
an end, not the end itself. The end is increased revenues for the client
and a positive return on investment. Click

Q: What is your web design process?
A: Research, plan, architect, design, and build. Those are our five primary
steps. Research and planning means learning about our client's business,
identifying the target audience, defining what we want them to do on
the client's website, and creating a plan to measure whether they are
doing what we want them to or not.
To architect means "information
architecture" which means developing the structure, form, and functionality of the website.
This is done by creating a visual sitemap and then a working prototype
of the website. A prototype is created so that changes in the structure
and/or functionality of the website can be implemented quickly and easily
before a design is applied to the structure.
Only when the structure and functionality of the website are clearly
defined do we start to design. We generally provide 2-3 designs for the
client to review, and once a design is selected we go through a process
of revisions until the client is satisfied. Once the various page designs
are completed, our expert HTML/CSS programmers build out the site. Back-end
programming, copywriting, and other services are provided where needed.
Q:
Have you ever done web design for my type of
company?
A: As our client list grows so does our experience. We have worked in
many industries and with many different types of companies, from law
firms to bed and breakfasts, from technology to tourism, and from medical
to magazines. Chances are we have done work for companies like yours,
even if you don't see it on our client list, which only represents a
selection of our clients. However, even if we haven't worked with a company
like yours the principles and the process we follow enable us to deliver
great results which we have done time and again for clients who were
the first of their kind to come to us.
Q: How is PH different from other web
design firms?
A: Most firms focus on doing good design. We focus on doing good design
that helps our clients make more money. To that end, we provide a host
of other services that can add value to a good design such as search
engine optimization. Not only do we provide these other services, but
we know how to do them well. We have experienced staff with skills in
HTML, CSS, PHP, .NET, ASP, W3C, MySQL, Linux, 508 compliance, information
architecture, internet marketing, webpage development, Javascript, Dreamweaver,
Photoshop, Fireworks, and more.
Q: What if my company is not in Northampton,
can PH still meet our needs?
A: PH is a Northampton web design firm, but we have clients across the
UK in places like London, Wales, Scotland, France, Spain and Italy. Between
travel, phone, email, and our online project management system we can
provide a working relationship that is 99% of what you would get if we
were located down the street from you.
