What is Web Design?
Web Design in the simplest terms is the creation of pages that can be viewed on the internet. BUT
Web Design is much more than this; it is the considered and carefully planned creation of a solution
to meet a requirement and achieve its targets and goals. That may be a way of creating an online
community, creating your personal portfolio, a way to sell your products 24 hours a day or simply to
promote yourself..... the possibilities are endless.
Our Philosophy
MAD Webs'™ philosophy is simple. We aim to provide a quality web site that you will be proud of, at
a reasonable cost and to get it online and working for you in as short a time as possible. We've been
working in an expanding industry since 2003 & even now the K.I.S.S. principle (Keep It Simple
Stupid) still holds true.
Our web site builds promote your company into the area of interactive business. When we build your
web site we take into consideration accessibility and usability issues. We also make sure that it is
search engine ready, using site optimisation techniques to make sure that you receive quality traffic;
visitors that want to look at your site. We offer a broad range of internet, graphics, programming and
imaging services which include; Web Design, Graphic Design, e-Commerce, Dynamic Web sites,
Shopping Carts, CMS's (content management systems), Logo Design, Internet Marketing, Search
Engine Optimisation / Promotion, Domain Name Registration and Reliable Web Hosting Services.
How much?
The question we get asked most often is 'How much is a web-site?' This is rather like asking how
long is a piece of string! The cost of your site depends on many factors - the complexity of the design
and total number of pages being the main considerations. We will build your site to your exact
requirements, you will be involved throughout the design of your site, from the initial discussion of
how you would like the site to look (often achieved by reference to other sites you like) through to the
final item and beyond. We never forget that it is your site and should reflect your personality
throughout.
Beware of very low quotations for a new web site! These are highly likely to prove to be costly
mistakes. To produce a quality web site that is of a professional level visually, and coded using the
correct methods for the search engines, takes a great deal of work and time. In most cases, web
sites are created to an amateur level, done quickly by cutting corners to get to your money fast. Even
sites that look visually good are very often coded completely wrong for the search engines. So, if you
get a low quotation, be cautious... As in any purchases you choose to make, you will get what you
pay for!
We treat each of our clients individually and therefore we do not offer set prices on web design. To
help us to better understand the requirements of your web site, please supply as much detail as
possible. Web design quotations are free and you are under no obligation to accept our offer - so
what are you waiting for!
Our web site design prices are very competitive for the standard we achieve. We make sure that your
site meets all of the specifications and guidelines set out by the World Wide Web Consortium
(www.w3.org). This means writing the code (or mark-up) for your web site in XHTML (Extensible
Hypertext Mark-up Language) and using CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) to apply styles.

services to the world! Web Design and Artwork Creation has been our business for over nine years
