ORCA Web Design Ipswich

The Internet is a virtual world where perception truly is reality. No matter how large or small your business is, your online presence (website) must be stronger than the competition's. If your site does not look the part, it will not convince visitors to do business with you. Big brands understand the importance of positioning themselves in a way that appeals to their customers. We understand the principles that these brands use - we simply apply them to smaller businesses and give our clients' websites the WOW! factor that they deserve. Whatever business you're in, an ORCA website will make all the difference, helping you to explore and exploit a whole world of new revenue generating opportunities.

What We Do.

We put the personal touch into the Internet and always meet face to face with our clients. By finding out as much as possible about your business, your competitors, your sector and your goals for the future, our highly experienced designers are able to create visual representations of how your website could look and feel.

We Put Our Money Where Our Mouth Is.

You are under no obligation whatsoever at this stage, as we believe in putting our money where our mouth is. We will recommend the functions your website will need to ensure it delivers all your expectations and will talk you through everything in a way that makes sense to you and your business.

A Business Tool.

A website should be a business tool - a tool that you are in control of.

Our user-friendly technology and User Guides have been designed to ensure that complete computer novices are able to quickly get to grips with managing and maintaining their site in just a few short hours. And don't forget, your ORCA Website Consultant is always on hand to offer any support you need absolutely free of charge, be it face to face, over the telephone, or via email.

Search Engine-Friendly Sites.

Our search engine friendly sites ensure that you never miss an opportunity to fully exploit the benefits that the Internet has to offer. We make it quick, extremely easy, and most importantly, affordable for you to have a professionally designed website that truly does justice to your business and pays for itself in a matter of weeks.

Added Value.

We believe in giving every ORCA client more for their money and that's why every ORCA website is fitted as standard with many functions that other web design businesses would charge extra for.     

Content Management System.

Our unique Content Management System puts you in control and enables you to update and maintain your website quickly and easily. Most ORCA websites allow you to add new pages, upload images and add and amend copy anywhere on your site.

Web Statistics.

Your website will be designed to help you achieve your business goals. This tool will help you to monitor just how well it performs and how much business it generates. As with all ORCA technology, it is extremely simple to use and provides information about the number of visitors to your site, the number of pages they viewed, the time and day of the week they visited, how long they stayed on the site for, where they came from and much more. 

Search Engine Optimisation.

In order to maximise every opportunity, it is essential that your website is easy to find and that it lists as highly as possible on all search engines. Your site will be equipped with the very latest search engine-friendly technologies and will be built in accordance with the most recent search engine guidelines. We will also submit your site to the major search engines on your behalf.

W3C Compatibility.

The W3C (The World Wide Web Consortium) provides best practice standards and guidelines for the World Wide Web. Their mission is to lead the World Wide Web to its full potential and to ensure that web technologies are compatible with one another. Their standards cover everything that is web-based, including search engine optimisation, web code and web accessibility. All ORCA sites are built to meet W3C standards and are regularly checked to ensure continued compliance.

Hosting & Support.

Your site will be hosted in our state of the art, extremely secure data centres. It will be monitored on an on-going basis and any issues will be dealt with promptly and efficiently by our highly trained Support Team. We run a cluster of servers (which are load balanced) to reduce any downtime, and monitor peak traffic usage to ensure that extra throughput is always available. All sites are password protected and we utilise the latest Cisco PIX firewalls in our data centre, along with other security mechanisms such as VPN access to sensitive areas. Data is stored in a storage area network which utilises high grade security protocols such as SSH, SCP and VPN's. 

Links.

Links are a vital function of any truly effective website. When clicked, a link can transport a website visitor anywhere on the site or on the Internet. Most ORCA websites have a dedicated links section contained within the footer navigation to enable you to easily add links using the content management system. Having links to and from reputable companies is of enormous benefit to your search engine listings because Google, for example, uses this as one of its criteria for listing you higher. We build in the links function as standard because it enables you to establish strong relationships with your suppliers and other related companies. In turn you can therefore request that they set up links to your own site to help boost your search engine listings.

Contact Form.

Your new website will be designed to win you more business and it is therefore essential that business contacts can get in touch with you at a time that is convenient to them. Over 86% of website traffic is attributed to business related research and a huge amount of this is conducted in the evenings when most businesses are closed. Your site will be fitted with a contact form that is personalised to your needs to ensure that your customers can contact you at any time, meaning that you never miss a business opportunity.

Site Map & Google Sitemap.

Your site will be equipped with a site map that updates automatically each time you update the content. This feature also improves your site's performance on the search engines.

Email.

You can have as many email accounts as you wish and we will set them all up for you. You won't face any restrictions when it comes to sending emails either as ORCA websites can handle large scale attachments.
