Web design
Quite simply we love web design.
It is our central tenet, our raison d'être, our mode and modus,
our stock-in-trade, we get a real kick out of it. You get the picture!
We believe that good, solid, standards-compliant websites that are simple
to navigate and look incredible should be affordable and available to everyone
regardless of whether you’re an individual or a corporate.

Professional web design is a skillful equilibrium of both coding and design skills.
When one of these is missing the results can be at best plain and unbalanced,
at worst, substandard. We also know that a well balanced website should not
simply be about the product, it should also be about the experience!

At aoimedia we like to think we don’t just build you a website, we create an
outstanding online presence for you with loads of style and plenty of substance.

Whether you go for one of our plush preFab packages, are looking to create
your web presence from scratch or it’s simply time to redesign your existing site,
we can do it all for you and so much more. We use only the freshest and most
up-to-date ingredients and techniques available so that your site is not only
functional and intuitive but performs flawlessly and looks beautiful.

preFabs
'Choice is good.'
With our preFab packages you’re involved in the design process from the
moment you visit our showroom. Choose from over one hundred designs.
Visualise how you’d like your site to look before you even contact us.
Choose a preFab, any preFab, then we’ll fully customise to your heart’s
desire. We’ll make the site exclusively yours.

Anything can be modified to suit your requirements.

Width.
Layout.
Colour.
Navigation.

Custom hand-coded XHTML and CSS.

All of this is included in the price with no hidden costs or extras.

Of course you may not see anything you like in the showroom (aren’t you the fussy one!)
and decide to go for a full custom solution. If you wish, we can hand-build you a beautiful,
bespoke fully compliant XHTML/CSS design from scratch. Contact us for details and a quote.

SEO
‘How will others find me?’
There’s no point in getting a website online if no one knows it’s out there.
That's where Search Engine Optimisation comes into play.
All our sites play nicely with Google, Yahoo and myriad others. We also
submit your site to all the major search engines free. However this is only
a very small part of overall SEO strategy. With this in mind we also offer
complete advice on SEO techniques and best practice plus Google
analytics completely free to all of our clients. This includes both preFab
and bespoke solutions. Together we’ll make sure your site ranks highly
and prominently.

Planning for every eventuality
'It’s always good to have a contingency plan.'
Your entire site and assets are not only backed-up but if you wish can be
stored securely off-site. We guarantee that your precious site, assets
(and all our hard work!) are always available. This service is completely
free to our customers.

Of course your website and all assets belong to you, they always did!
We simply hold them for you for the purpose of site updates and
maintenance should you require it. If you wish, everything can be
returned to you on CD-ROM at any time (please allow 24 hours for availability.)

Graphic design
We design graphics for just about any purpose you can imagine.
From smooth, digital-domain vectors and highly detailed bitmaps
to traditional paint on paper. Contact us with your requirements.

Corporate identity
New business, need a new look, something that reflects you and
your company? Or are you firmly established but need to strip that
tattered wallpaper and redecorate with a fresh coat of glossy new
paint? Let us transform you.

Design for print
‘Rumours of my passing have been greatly exaggerated.’
Yes, print is still very much alive and well. We design for paper too.
From beautiful business cards, stationary, letterheads and
compliment slips to punchy promos, advertisements and flyers.
Check out our price list for details.

Icon and interface design
Built a nice new website and need some navigation symbols?
Maybe you’re launching a new application and need an icon to
represent it. We are skilled in both HCI (Human Computer Interaction),
interface design and the use of modern symbology within information
architecture. Contact us for further information.

Digital photography and image manipulation
‘The camera never lies’... but images can sometimes tell little fibs!
Need something photographed or an image or document scanned?
How about something digitally enhanced, cleaned-up, manipulated
or completely obliterated? Contact us for details and pricing.

Flash development and deployment
Flash is that animated stuff that looks really neat on websites but
if badly coded and designed can suck up bandwidth faster than a
cat does fresh cream. We design lean and mean Flash based
products that are light on their feet and beautiful to behold.
