First things first - the most important thing to know about Balance is that we listen. To you. Next, we think. About what you have told us. Then we produce innovative, cost effective solutions to help grow your business, solve your problems or to assist your customers to communicate with you. What can we do for you? We can design or redesign your web site - its what we excel at. Making websites that look great and function perfectly...more>> We can assess your sites useability. Useability is our principal concern. Good design considers the user before anything else and we don't think anyone can design anything properly if they can't think like the person using it. We can audit your website. More years than we care to think about of using websites for just about every aspect of our lives means we know what works and what doesn't. We can write a report for you that analyses every aspect of your site, tells you what's wrong and how to fix it. We can speed up the downloading of your site. Most sites are not taking effective advantage of the latest technology and are slow to download. We know our stuff and can recode your site to download faster as well as use better image compression to cut the size of your graphics and further improve download speed. We can give you control of the content of your site. Total control. Our content management tools are sophisticated but easy to use and have a proven track record of more than three years real world use. They give our clients total control of site structure and content. Site owners can change every word on the site whenever they wish and can add pages and even whole sections into their sites, without needing to pay another penny. We can help you to improve where your site ranks in the major search engines. We know search engines back to front and keep completely up to date with how they change their rating criteria. We don't do automated submissions, which are next to useless, we make every submission manually and craft the pages that we are submitting to rate well. We can take your non-ranking site and make it rank where it deserves. We can help you effectively use the online world to market your services...more>> We can maintain your site. While most clients want to make use of our content management tools, some prefer to have Balance do the job for them. We assess the most cost effective way to do this and provide real time maintenance. If we are given a change to make it is done the same day, usually within an hour. We can provide you with multimedia, print design and corporate identity. With 18 years in the design business we can still do all that old stuff as well.
