About
Most people write a lot of unquantifiable, unsubstantiated jargon on their about page, we thought we’d just answer some of the common questions we get asked and some others we just made up! Hopefully by the end you’ll know a little bit more about us.
So you’re a web design company right ?
No! We’re more than just a web design company! A whole lot more!
What does “A whole lot more!” actually mean ?
Good question! Well put it this way, web design is just one part of the overall web ownership/development process. A good web designer will have knowledge of aesthetics and usability but beyond that he won’t be able to provide much more.
Our team is able to provide all the bits and bobs that not only launch a website but also keep it running and growing for many years to come. Why we’re experts in this field is directly related to our years of experience in the field of online publishing. We’re managing real life, profitable websites on a daily basis and it’s this know how that we can bring to your project (small or large).
Do you also program and code websites ?
Absolutely! Our team can handle both the design and programming part of your project. In fact we wouldn’t be a complete web development studio without that ability. Whether you need a freshly baked bespoke application, customisations done to an existing website or an exotic plugin for some of the webs most popular 3rd party scripts (e.g. wordpress, joomla, vbulletin, phpBB etc) then we’ve got the skills to help you out.
Most of the sites we develop for clients are PHP & MySQL based. If you need development in any other language we can usually offer that too.
Excellent so where are you located ?
Well the main business is based and registered in the UK, that’s where it all started back in 2006. However as time has passed we’ve added new members and new skill sets to the team all of whom work remotely from their respective locations (mainly the UK and USA).
It says you also do online publishing, what’s that ?
Online publishing is identical to conventional book or newspaper publishing except that it takes place over the internet. We run a number of online magazines, forums and informational resources for which our writing team publishes new content on a daily, weekly, monthly basis. That at it’s heart is what online publishing means to us. It represents a major part of what we do hence details of it are listed on the site.
What do you achieve with online publishing ?
The goal of any publishing setup is to interest and engage their userbase with cool articles and relevant information related to the subject that interests them. Readerships develop into followings, and if successful develop into online communities.
We absolutely love building communities and engaging our users, a by product of which is generating thousands of visitors per day. Turning this targeted traffic into income is achieved by unique advertising relationships which we’ve built up over the years. In short we provide users with cool free content and in return make something back via advertising.
How many sites are in your portfolio ?
It fluctuates but at any point in time we usually maintain around 100 websites. We’ve had more in the past but have found that 100 is just right for our team size.
It says you buy and sell websites ?
Yes a major part of our business is buying and selling websites. If you’d like to sell us a website or simply seek advise on a future sale or purchase, just drop us a line.
