Web Development Services

Many people increasingly look on-line for services and products, and that trend is forecast to increase. Indeed, people now expect businesses to have a modern, effective web site, a shop window that is open to customers all day, every day.


New Forest Web Services, based in Lyndhurst, can develop and implement an effective web site for you. A full, personal service is available, tailored to meet your needs, and including:

      •   Advice to help you decide exactly what you require

      •   Help, if required, with text production

      •   Web site design and development

      •   Hosting facilities to make your site available on the Internet

      •   Registration of your domain name - your web site's unique identifier

      •   Search engine optimisation (SEO), to help ensure that your site is seen by          potential customers

      •   Submissions to Google and Yahoo

      •   Provision of usage statistics to keep you informed about numbers of web site visitors

      •   On-going changes to content

Images are important, too
Directly relevant, high impact images can be provided; for after all, strong images are worth a great many words.

Images can be produced specially for you, or they can be drawn from an extensive image library.

      •   New Forest landscape and wildlife pictures can be provided that illustrate the beauty of this             magnificent area - here are some examples, just click on the thumbnails.

      •   Choice of formats include wide angle and panoramic images that help emphasise the            spaciousness of interiors and gardens.

Alternatively, your own images can be used.
A scanning service is available to convert your prints and transparencies to digital, web-ready formats, using for transparencies a high quality Nikon Super Coolscan 5000 scanner. An enhancement service is also available - here are recent some examples.

Then whatever the source, your images can be used to best effect. For example:

      •   Collages can be created to tell your story - here is a banner heading example.

      •   Rolling slide shows can be incorporated - here is an example.

      •   Mouseover slide shows are equally useful - take a look here at the bottom of the page images.

Managing your content
Facilities can be provided that enable you to make on-going changes to your web site, although as this adds to initial costs, you might prefer that these changes are made on your behalf. Provision for an amount of time or number of updates can be agreed in advance, or updates can be charged at a standard (and modest) hourly rate.

Or maybe you simply want your current web site to work harder
Does your web site appear high enough in Google and Yahoo search results to be effective? If not, why not ask about a service that will help boost search engine rankings and increase the likelihood that your site will be seen by potential customers?

And please be assured, these services will always be:

      •   Responsive to your needs

      •   Straightforward – we believe in keeping the web simple, using designs that are pleasing            to the eye, and easy and intuitive to use

      •   Friendly – there will be no jargon-laden discussions, just conversations using plain, everyday            English

      •   Competitively priced - for example, a moderate complexity, 4-8 page web site would cost            around £35 per page. (VAT does not apply). Domain name registration and annual hosting fee            would cost around £30

      •   Well-supported - by over 30 years I.T. industry experience in a variety of senior roles

      •   Professionally provided, always

Recent assignments

Check out this example of a recent assignment completed for green dimensions, an Environment, Conservation and Recreation Consultancy.

Phil Lomax, Director, green dimensions, says:
'I was involved in every stage of the web site design and no stone was left unturned to ensure I was completely satisfied with the outcome. I was provided with sound professional advice throughout and first class technical support to overcome problems with my web host. And with the superb photographic images I was given as part of the package, I now have a company image on the internet of which I am very proud.'
