Web Design
Code 9 is an experienced web design consultancy that can offer a wide range of web and digital services that can be tailored to suit your business.We believe that in today's digital market place having a website is extremely important, and that website needs to be right for your business. Your site needs to reflect the values and personality of your company, whilst delivering your information in a way that is clear and easy to understand. If potential clients do not understand what you represent, they will most likely go else where. At Code 9 we make a point of understanding your business, what services you offer, your unique selling points, and the culture of your business.Usability Testing and Accessibility PlanningWe believe in building sites that are easy to use and accessible to all. Planning is key for a website to become successful, we have the expertise and experience to help you identify and organise the important elements of your website with the following techniques:Site Mapping and ScopingWe can help you define the key elements of your site, and organise them into sections - this is an effective way of understanding the layout and structure of your site. While it may be obvious and unnecessary for smaller sites, it becomes extremely useful when your site contains information that is relevant to different users. With larger sites it's important to consider the user journey and how they are going to navigate through your site without getting lost or overwhelmed.WireframesA wireframe is basically an outline of your site - we use wireframes to layout the most important elements of your site, like call to action buttons, navigation menus, and the placement of text and imagery. This is the quickest way to define how your content will be positioned, without any distracting design features - so you can clearly see how users will view your page and how well the content will flow.Web Standards and New TechnologiesThe internet is constantly evolving and at Code 9 we invest a lot of time in research and development. We use new technologies that are supported by industry standards such as HTML5 & CSS3, and seek to avoid older platforms and languages that are in decline, to ensure that your site remains supported and optimised for many years to come.All of our sites comply with the latest web standards, and we perform rigous browser testing to ensure that our sites work with the current industry supported browsers. The build quality is very important to us and we build our sites to be organised and super efficient, which not only make this site fast and responsive, it's also easy to maintain, which makes it cheaper to update in the future.Our ApproachWebsites can be expensive to build just like building a house and they require planning, project management, design, and construction. Again like building a physical structure website costs depend of their size, level of complexity to build, usage, building materials, and cosmetic decoration and technologies. Multiple locations like in the real world will have their own costs and challenges too.We offer a consultancy approach where we can help you manage your budget to achieve your goals in the most effective way. We can plan out your site and provide you with several options at different price points that we think will work for you, and explain the pros and cons of each approach. We feel by talking through the options and possible alternatives, we can provide the services that are best suited to you and your business, and even reduce costs by excluding services that are not required.
