A website is first designed as a 2D graphic and after client approval is gained the design is developed into a fully functioning website Although this is something you can do yourself we are happy to check the availability of your preferred Domain Name eg: www.yourbusiness.com.au and purchase it on your behalf. Sometimes your business name does not make the best domain name! We are also able to advise and suggest a domain name that will work for your business We are often approached by clients who have websites which need updating. If your existing website was built correctly this may be possible to do in a cost effective way. However we often find that starting over with a website built exclusively by Smashing Time Web Design is the best way forward If you already have a contract with an Internet Service Provider (ISP) we will liaise with them in all matters relating to your website We can advise on what content is suitable for your website. This could mean making your existing publicity material internet friendly or creating new content from scratch We have a comprehensive testing lab with more than 50 common web browsing hardware/software combinations. We can test your existing website and provide a report highlighting any presentation or functionality problems A website without visitors is useless. We submit details of your website, on your behalf, to the most important search engines (such as Google) and directories at no extra charge to you We build your website with care and follow the strict guidelines provided by the major search engines. This ensures that you have the best possible chance of getting a top listing in these search engines which means new customers will find you more easily. The websites we build have an extremely high success rate in obtaining the best search engine positions After initial discussions we start to build a clear picture of your website requirements so we are in a good position to provide independent advice as to the most suitable web hosting features you require Our graphics team are expert in image creation and manipulation, whether it's 'cleaning' existing photographs or creating graphics from scratch we can help. We also have access to vast libraries of images that will be suitable for your new website Banner adverts are a great way to generate income from your website. We can create  EYE CATCHING  animated banner adverts for your business or for your advertisers Just because some of your customers don't have access to the Internet does not mean they can't enjoy your website. We specialise in making websites that can be easily converted to CDROM, this means that they can be given to any customer who has access to a computer. Our CDROMs can be used on PCs, Apple computers and Linux based computers If you need to do something non-standard on your website you'll need a top class programmer. We have experts in Javascript, Perl, PHP and DHTML who can program some amazing effects and features into your website If your company sells products or services then you can, and should, have a website. The web is becoming the most cost effective way of getting your message to millions of new customers We have many clients who are artists or art galleries and these ventures are very well suited to a visual medium like the Internet. Galleries can extend their reach to international customers and artists can have their work seen outside of the normal gallery circuit If you provide a free service to the community you'll appreciate that this service is far from free for you. A website can substantially reduce mail and telephone costs and assist in attracting extra funding by increasing your profile If you have the contacts but not the time or skill to provide a website for your clients, use us! We have sub-contracted our services to many Marketing companies and Design studios who have used our expertise to build the very best website for their customers Some of the most interesting websites on the Internet belong to enthusiastic individuals who are experts in their field. We can tailor a website package to make your website look as good as the content it provides We take the time to understand your needs, this means you get a website that meets not only your own needs but those of your customers We understand that not everyone has a broadband Internet connection so our pages are designed to load as fast as possible to avoid client frustration. When high quality (slow) images are required we make sure they are worth the wait If a visitor gets frustrated trying to move around your website the chances are they'll soon leave. Our websites are designed by human interface experts, so your customers will never even notice how easy your website is to use! Animation and multimedia look great but when used inappropriately they can frustrate people with slower computers. Our designs always consider this balance between usability and entertainment We have a testing lab compromised of over 50 different hardware/software test combinations. All this ensures that your website will not only look good on all existing browsers but it will look good on the many old browsers still in circulation and typically those still to come! We are very pleased to say that the websites we build have an extremely high success rate in obtaining the best search engine positions. This is a result of excellent programming practices and careful observation of the trends and techniques employed by the search engine suppliers
