web design information

Without an astute manipulation of facts

Our web designers are responsible for your layout, visual appearance and the usability of your company website. Using a combination of graphic design skills and technical knowledge in web designing our work involves.

  • Liaising closely with our customer/client at the design stage and finding the answers to questions about why your website is needed, who the target audience will be, who your leading competitors are.
  • Producing a design that will be attractive to the target user, has a logical navigation system and has all the features required.
  • Writing web pages in a combination of codes, such as HTML and XHTML, CSS, Javascript, Actionscript and Flash or using code generating programs, such as Adobe Dreamweaver.
  • Deciding on how images and other material will be digitally optimised and presented for the web;
  • Ensuring that material on the web site is accessible to all groups including those with disabilities;
  • Testing the site for functionality in different browsers and at different resolutions;
  • Fixing errors.

Web designers will have knowledge of graphic design packages such as Fireworks or Photoshop in order to produce basic layout and manipulate images. Skills in e-commerce and server side technologies, such as PHP and .Net, and internet security are also important. As users gain faster access to the internet via broadband, web designers with skills in multimedia and interactivity are likely to be in greater demand.

Qindex have put together a low cost and free website design package aimed at the smaller businesses who may find it too expensive hiring the services of the top ranking professional web designers. Qindex offer a low cost designing service providing your company with a basic yet attractive web presence.

economical web design

Our design process is designed for speed so as to create for you an economical fixed price website of only £300. Our own Qindex website example design standard is very high, economical, low cost. These low priced websites are not reflected in our work.

graphic design

Art work can be very time consuming, driving web design fees up, Qindex have a large collection of images available which we edit very efficiently.

The head area of this page features Kirriemuir with Peter Pan and Tinkerbell and was completed in one hour. Although a little less that perfect by professional standards these cost cutting edits save your business money.

flash design

Adobe Flash is well known as the name labeling on animated websites, Flash is the designers choice for animating in all Flash website designs and to some it will remain a firm favourite.

With the long learning curve in the mastery of this fantastic Flash software I personally thought it would be quicker picking pink pixels from the screen of an HD wide screen television. As with many things we have a quick and a slow way for any task.

So what's the point ? Flash is priced very high and these costs need to get transferred over to you, so that is one point. Flash has abilities way beyond the necessary in website designing would be our second point.

In presenting rollover fades in images and text effects hardly justifies the need of such an amazing piece of Flash software.

An intercepted conversation captured no doubt with perhaps super duper spy functions or something in Flash we guess ...

Dear Mr Flash web designer, I have too much money and would like to share this with you, can you please use your overly complicated and outrageously expensive Flash web design software to animate the head area of my website ?

Dear Customer, This is super news to receive as I am still making payments on my Flash software, I should point out that I still don't have a Scooby how to operate it but we can make 3 images roll over and do a bit of text dash around if you like ?

Animation

At Qindex we have not got a clue how to operate Flash, but with simple basic and very low cost software we found results were sufficient for most web sites. We produce animated Flash web designs with a small £50 swf producing splash page program.

What can we offer you ? Over at Graphia we can create an animated site for a fixed price of £500, www.graphia.co.uk. We now also offer Flash web advertising on one page for only £300. Flash splash pages as seen on the main Qindex introduction are an example, we have more to follow later as time allows..

Flash splash designing can produce as much web page information as we like on one page, ideal for advertising.

Your free domain name

Another area you can make a small saving in is domain names, .co.uk domain names are the low priced compared to .com, so we make no charge for this with your design. After one year the domain name renewal cost will be £10 per year.
