website design


Our website design services provide you with an affordable, professional website, designed to reflect your desired company image.

We provide our clients with quality web sites that are developed with function, user friendliness and information as the foundation for the design.

All of our websites are tested on multiple operating systems and a variety of web browsers before being distributed - ensuring your message is delivered in the desired format to as many people as possible.

Websites can be developed around your existing corporate style or a new look can be designed. Contact us to learn more.


website hosting


Our website hosting service is a tailor-made solution to meet your needs - what people want and need varies greatly and our service adapts accordingly.

Various factors affect the hosting requirements including; bandwidth requirement, number of email accounts, technological needs of your website and the target market of your products and services.

Personal email accounts are setup as part of our hosting services. Contact us to learn more.


updates and maintenance


Is your site in need of a makeover?

We know how time consuming running a business is. And we know how easy it is to let the company web site become out-dated. That is why we promise to deliver as smooth and as fast and as complete a service as is possible.

Generally, a site overhaul is a lot more straight forward than implementing a new site. Because of this having a site revamped is usually quicker and less expensive than having an equivalent site developed from the ground up.

Do you require information on your site to be periodically updated, either on a scheduled or an 'as needed' basis?

Allow us to take care of this for you - leaving you free to give the running of your business your full attention.

Our maintenance services can be paid for on an hourly basis or updates can be arranged periodically - leaving no surprises. Contact us to learn more.


content management systems


A content management system (cms) allows website owners to update their website from the comfort of their own home. Available in varying degrees of ease of use and editing ability, a cms is perfect for the updating/editing of the text and graphical content of a site.

Devon Web Services' own cms; webFertility™, has been designed from the ground up to be as easy to use as possible. If you are interested in a cms site please Contact us. Alternatively, to learn more about webfertility™, click here


domain registration


Choosing a domain name is a big decision. Especially now that the Internet has so many businesses trading on it.

Good domain names are the short, easy-to-remember ones. The name should be related to the services or goods being offered and be as generic as possible.

Choosing a suitable domain name is harder than it sounds; there are a lot of businesses trading on the Internet, it is likely some of these will be trading in your field. A good idea is to make a list of possibilities and be prepared to compromise. You can find out if your desired names are available at a WHOIS service like freeparking.com.

We are happy to register a domain name on your behalf. We provide this service at cost + £15 administration fee. However, you can save yourself some money by shopping around and registering a domain for yourself here are some popular websites offering domain registration:
freeparking.co.uk
net2 internet services
Nominet.uk - the UK Internet Names Organisation
Contact us to learn more.


search engine optimisation


For your site to attract business it needs to be recognised by the major search engines e.g. Google and altavista.

However, to get better ranking in the results returned from these search engines, your site needs to be optimised for relevant search terms. Contact us to learn more.


copywriting service


The majority of websites are used to deliver information. The majority of this information is written information.

Therefore having clear, concise, effective copy is of paramount importance.

Our professional copywriting service provides you with an excellent method of gaining hard-hitting copy on your website.

We develop effective copy at competitive rates, we also offer checking of grammar and spelling. Contact us to learn more.


flash development


We offer development of flash animations, introductions and banners.

With about 95% of web users being able to view flash files, compatibility is not the issue it once was.

Flash animations can make websites more interesting by integrating moving parts into a website e.g. menu buttons that change shape.

Inclusion of flash in a website can add appeal, however, in most cases we recommend very careful (if any) use of flash. Contact us to learn more.


banner design


We develop marketing banners; both static and animated, to customer spec.

In general banners are used to advertise your goods or services on other sites linking to your site. However they can be used to point a visitor of a site to a different part of that site e.g. to a tutorial or promotion. Contact us to learn more.
