Web Design

MEGTEK have always been at the leading edge of Web technology. We've developed enterprise-grade Web and e-commerce applications for Blue Chip clients, and have extensive experience of all aspects of web design and development. We're now delighted to offer the same high standard of Web design to small and medium sized businesses and personal clients.

MEGTEK can particularly help if you want more than just a simple website - you might want to be able to update your website yourself, but don't want to have to worry about things like servers, HTML or FTP. With the power of Java, Linux and XML database technology, MEGTEK are proud to offer "Alchemy" - the combination of a custom-designed website with a Web-based administration page where you can update your site, e.g. add new text or images, via easy to use Web pages with no technical knowledge required. If you can use eBay or Amazon, you'll have no problem with Alchemy - and because each site is designed uniquely for you, we can make it do exactly what you want.

Alternatively, you might want enterprise features such as e-commerce, shopping carts, online ordering, etc. Whatever you want, we will use the very best Open Source technology to make your dreams a reality.

Accessibility

You want your website to cater for all visitors, so it's worth spending some time to make your site as accessible as possible. Blind and partially sighted people often use screen readers to browse the Web. This means that any images you have on your site should always have a text description as well - particularly for images used for navigation links. MEGTEK take accessibility very seriously and will ensure that your site reaches the widest audience.

Search Engine Optimisation

Good search engine placement is critical if you want to attract visitors to your site. At MEGTEK, we're skilled in the use of META tags and other search engine optimisation best practices to give you the best possible search engine rankings.

Browser Compatibility

While the latest web browsers offer some very powerful features, especially in terms of graphics and animation, you want to guarantee that your site will work (and look good) on as many browsers as possible. A MEGTEK-designed website will use the power of software such as JQuery to add rich functionality (including animations, slideshows, fancy menus, etc) to websites in such a way that the site will work perfectly well (but not as pretty) if your browser does not have Javascript or you have chosen to turn it off. Likewise, we will ensure that your site will work well in text-based browsers such as Lynx.

Standards Compliance

MEGTEK design websites with the aim of complying to all applicable W3C (World Wide Web Consortium) standards - particularly those for XHTML and CSS. Having a compliant website will pay dividends in both accessibility and browser compatibility, and make your website stand out as one that's been professionally designed.
