We work to a simple 3 step website design process......

  Step One - Consultation, design concept and content....

This is probably the most important step. We get to know you and more importantly, you get to know us. yan-tan aim to provide you with a website that will not only look good but will really work for you. We use this time with you to really understand what it is that you wish to achieve with your new website. We can work with your existing graphics and transfer them into digital images for use on the web. We can develop what may even just be an idea in your head or on a piece of paper. We will interpret your ideas and transform them into an exciting, simple to use and yet technically advanced website that will impress your clients and in return, generate new business.

At this point we will give you an easy to understand competitive quote with no hidden extras and our guarantee of satisfaction. Once we are both happy with the direction we wish to take we can move forward with the design concept.....

  Step Two - Site design, hosting and e-mail re-direction set-up.....

This is where our artistic and technical know-how get to work. Depending on the size and complexity of the site, the design stage can take between a few days and a month. At all times you will be kept up to date with the changes to your site and given every opportunity to get involved at every stage of development. At this stage we also set-up your websites hosting and important e-mail redirections and security settings. As well as the visual work that you see, we're also busy ensuring that your new site is optimised for Search enquiries and will rank well in all the major Search Engines like Google, Yahoo, AOL and Virgin.

When the design is ready to go live we will give you a final proof-read of the site to make any last minute tweaks. We can time the launch of your site to coincide with a business launch or maybe to target seasonal customers or a time-limited event.

This is not the end of our working relationship. yan-tan still have a lot of work to do on your behalf to make sure that your new website continues to work for you. You can have the best website in the world but if no-one can find it you're wasting your time and money!.....

  Step Three - Site optimisation, updates and maintenance......

For a website to work well requires a great deal of technical know-how and time. yan-tan are supporting you all the way to ensure the success of your website. Search Engine Optimisation (SEO for short) is critical and must be kept on top off throughout the year. Updates to the site may also be necessary and can be built into our support package. What this gives you is piece of mind knowing that we are working with you to make sure your website is working for you 365 days a year.
