Twynetics Web Design, Tewkesbury, Gloucestershire, West Midlands

At Twynetics we use industry leading software packages to create professional website designs, and we also have our own in-house programmers. We provide a professional, affordable web design service covering all aspects of web design - style, image, content, graphics, search engine optimisation, ecommerce and internet marketing.

Getting started ...

Registering a website address and creating a "holding page" is often the first step towards creating a new site. It will help with business registration and directory listings if you can quote your new site address. Creating a holding page with your contact information will allow you to print your website address on product labels, business cards, brochures, catalogue entries, etc. from day one - and you won't need a re-print once the new site is ready.

Professional, affordable web design - a new site or site redesign

We create websites to suit all budgets and are happy to provide a free quotation for a new site or site redesign - simply complete the on-line form or get in touch and we'll provide an outline of the website and a breakdown of the costs.

To create the website we need to understand your website objectives, target market and the desired look and feel. Then we create a structure, style and colour scheme for your new site. Alternatively, if you know what you want your web site to look like we can work to your brief. We can either supply full copy writing, graphics and photography services or we can work with your copy and photos.

The scope for a web site redesign will depend on the structure and coding of the existing site - we're happy to have a look and let you know if we can work with the existing website or if we'd need to create a new site. If you'd like a quote for a site redesign, please get in touch or complete the on-line quote request form.

Search Engine Optimisation

When we create a new site it's designed to be search engine friendly. For most businesses there's little value in having a great looking website which no one can find. Our proven search engine optimisation techniques help with search engine ranking and deliver better search results without the need for additional pay-per-click advertising or directory listings. In very competitive markets and markets served by big brands with big on-line marketing budgets this may be more difficult and may require of mixture of search engine optimisation and internet advertising. Search Engine Optimisation involves a number of content, design and copy writing techniques to achieve better search results. Some of these techniques can be easily incorporated into existing sites to improve search engine rankings without requiring a complete site redesign or a new site. To find out how we can help you get better search results for a new site or your existing website please get in touch or complete our on-line enquiry form

If you've created your own site but need help with optimisation techniques to get better search results, our help with website performance - training course will give you some of the "tricks of the trade".

Web marketing and web site promotion

Getting visitors to your website is the first step but once they've arrived you want to maximise their visit and encourage them to return. You may also like to find out who they are so you can market to them in future. We can help with website marketing, suggest ways to collect customer information and help with web site promotion both on and off-line. We can also run pay-per-click and Goggle adwords campaigns for you.

Databases and e-commerce, PayPal ecommerce

Our in-house database programming provides complete flexibility for creating on-line catalogues and shops - whether you've 10 products or thousands of products. We provide payment processing interfaces to suit all budgets and levels of sophistication. If you're looking for a low cost, low risk way to sell on the internet we can create a PayPal ecommerce website to process credit and debit cards without any merchant setup fees. We can equally easily provide interfaces into the major merchant services providers if you already have card processing facilities.

We have over 15 years experience in databases, ecommerce and on-line payment processing systems. We've created and managed ecommerce websites ranging from single page order forms to multi national, multi-currency shops with thousands of products and created on-line shopping malls and auction systems. Using this ecommerce knowledge and experience, we're happy to advise and provide help for businesses interested in selling on the internet.

On-line shops / selling on the internet

If you're not sure about selling on the internet and whether it's right for your business we can provide a simple on-line order form. You can offer a mail order service and sell on the internet but process the order and the payment off-line, manually. If that suits your business longer term - great, if it proves a concept and you need automation to help with business volumes we can upgrade the ordering system and add secure, on-line payment processing.

Digital photography and image processing

Good photography and images are very important for websites and make a big difference to the overall look and feel. They are especially important if you're selling on the internet and need customers to see a product, sample or design. It's equally important to make sure images are optimised for the web. If you use photos taken directly from digital cameras, without optimising them, the images are likely to slow down the loading of your website. We can provide digital photography and image processing services and are happy to process your own digital photographs and add graphics / create special effects if required. We can also source good quality, low cost photos and graphics on your behalf.

Software development

We use industry leading design packages for our web site design and development - most of the time they're great and allow us to create exactly what our clients needs. However, there are occasions when something different, unusual and more complex is required. In these situations our in-house programmers can develop bespoke software which meets your business needs without having to compromise to meet parameters of a pre-designed software package.

On-line booking systems

Not only is the internet used for research, visitors to websites now expect to complete transactions on the website - they're happy to make bookings and confirm reservations. Using in-house database programming skills we can create on-line booking systems for your website. Our systems provide you with the right level of control and flexibility for your business - whether you're a Training Consultancy, B&B, Hotel, Tourist Attraction or Event Organiser. Get in touch and we'll be happy to discuss your requirements.

On-line appointment systems

Our on-line appointment system is a great help for small businesses like beauticians, hairdressers, consultants, vets and . In many small service businesses booking an appointment, site visit or consultation means interrupting a current appointment or returning a call left on an answering machine. Our on-line appointment system handles bookings for you. You set the parameters, appointment times, duration and available days in advance and the customer simply makes the appointment on-line and receives an email confirmation. It's a great way to improve your efficiency, provide better customer service and get on with the job in hand - without interruptions

Our website training courses will show you how to improve your search engine rankings, customer experience, web marketing and website accessibility.

Website accessibility & Legals

The Disability Discrimination Act covers website accessibility. We can help with website accessibility to make your website more compliant - and accessible to this market of over 8 million people.

If you're collecting customer data you may need to consider compliance with the data protection act and publish a privacy policy to advise visitors what data you're collecting and how its being handled. It is also good practice to include a set of website terms and conditions on your site. We can help with website accessibility, privacy and terms and conditions for both a new site and existing sites. And we make sure your website is compliant with the UK's website and ecommerce regulations eg. your company registration and VAT numbers should appear somewhere on your website.
