Online marketing begins with the initial concept and design of your site. This is far more than just reflecting your marketing strategy. Your site design is an integral part of the marketing process. This is achieved by incorporating direct response techniques; relationship marketing and consumer psychology in to your site. This results in a third generation site that will; entice visitors back again and again; build a community; develop brand loyalty and nurture a long term relationship that will turn a regular visitor into a valued customer.

Whereas most agencies are only interested in making your site look good, HardyWeb set higher goals. We design sites that not only project a professional image but also serve a specific marketing purpose. This is achieved by combining cutting edge design with advanced marketing and relationship building techniques.

E-Commerce Solutions :

The most productive use of your web site is to be able to accept orders online. This is known as E-commerce and covers a number of different areas. These include the software & development; security and processing. However at its core, it is the harnessing of database technology to establish commerce online. Our e-commerce team have developed a large number of sites ranging from simple shopping basket operations to large bespoke solutions requiring complex programming for major UK clients. Whatever your requirements our team can develop the perfect solution.

Online Marketing :

Online Marketing is a very broad area covering numerous methods of promoting your business through the Internet. It covers both free and paid for advertising methods. The most well known is search engine promotion. However HardyWeb can also arrange to establish reciprocal links, direct email campaigns, banner advertising, press releases, ezine marketing etc.

We provide a complete online marketing service covering the above areas. Our integrated package is the theme site which comes complete with the marketing techniques mentioned above and really harnesses the full potential of the Internet. It comes in a basic and advanced package. We can also employ any of the above methods individually.

MultiMedia :

Multimedia on the web is the use of video, sound and animation. There are several technologies used to achieve this, however the most common are Flash, Shockwave, Real Video and Real Audio. Each of these requires the use of an extension that has to be installed on your browser called a plug-in. In the past this has inhibited the growth of online multimedia. However, Flash which is the most popular and effective of all the technologies, comes pre-installed on most browsers and has a user base covering 95% of Internet traffic. HardyWeb have a specialist team of multimedia developers who can create dynamic presentations for your site, using any of the above technologies.

Web Development :

This describes the programming and scripting that is done on the server to create dynamic sites. For the most part it usually implies the use of a database, which is linked to the web pages to serve content on the fly. We have a specialist team of very experienced programmers, with extensive experience of building dynamic and database driven sites. Whatever you need they can develop the most effective solution for your requirements. Although we can develop in any of the above technologies, HardyWeb recommend ASP as the best solution.

Applications Development :

This is simply the programming and development of software applications. It normally provides far more powerful solutions than normal web applications, which are typically limited. Full applications on the other hand can be created as components on the actual web server, which provides full programming capabilities the same as any complex software solution. Effectively full application development allows you to do anything possible through programming without any limitations of web technologies.
