We believe in building long-term partnerships that are mutually beneficial, and our goal is to develop a website that serves your immediate needs and also supports your Parish Council’s future growth and objectives.
Our approach to website development encompasses cutting-edge technology and design with a focus on accessibility, security, and scalability. We understand the importance of maintaining transparency, adhering to industry best practices and following relevant regulatory guidelines. Rest assured, our team is equipped with the knowledge and expertise to create a website that meets the highest standards of quality and compliance.

When it comes to website development, navigation plays a crucial role in ensuring a seamless user experience.
Our approach to navigation design revolves around simplicity and clarity. We carefully craft menus and graphical links that are intuitive and easy to understand, ensuring that users can quickly find the information they need. By organising content into logical categories and subcategories, we help users locate relevant pages and navigate through your website with ease.
We also prioritise accessibility in our navigation design. We adhere to web accessibility standards, ensuring that individuals with disabilities can navigate your website using assistive technologies. We implement proper heading structures, provide alternative text for graphical links, and ensure keyboard accessibility, allowing all users to access and interact with your website’s navigation elements.
To create better navigation, we employ techniques such as dropdown menus, breadcrumb navigation, and search functionality. Dropdown menus provide a hierarchical view of your website’s content, allowing users to explore different sections effortlessly.
Breadcrumb navigation helps users understand their current location within the website’s hierarchy and provides a convenient way to navigate back to previous pages. Additionally, our search functionality enables users to quickly find specific information by entering relevant keywords.
By implementing these strategies, we aim to enhance the overall user experience of your website. Our goal is to create a navigation system that is both visually appealing and functional, providing visitors with a smooth and intuitive journey through your website’s pages.
Data Migration
Depending on the access provided to your current site, these are the ways we can migrate your content.
- If we can gain admin access then we can export your current site and import it to your new one.
- failing this, if we can get FTP access then we can migrate your website entirely.
- If the above two methods are not available then it’s down to old fashioned copy and pasting – this is the most costly in terms of time.
We allocate 2 days to create your new website, and we will add as much contents as we can in the time available. Any further work can be purchase at £35ph or £240per day, or just provide a budget. Alternatively, you can continue adding more content after your training.
