Why choose us?
Many Internet design companies do not stay in business for very long. It is therefore wise
to choose a web design company that is well established.
Our web designers have been designing business web sites for over 10 years
and with this wealth of expertise we
can get your business online quickly whilst making the whole process easy for you.
Choose a less established web design company and you may find that they no longer exist
when your web site needs updating.
We are a team of web designers and programmers based in Gosport near
Portsmouth & Southampton on the South Coast in
Hampshire. For those of you who are unfamiliar with the area, we are nestled between
Fareham and Portsmouth, just down the road from Southampton.
Our web design & hosting company was established by Jane Renfree
over 10 years ago and has grown to become a company with clients who
have been trusting us to look after their business websites for many years.
We are computer programmers as well as web designers.
Jane has a long history of programming and systems administration experience - she began
as a Cobol mainframe computer programmer and spent 15 years programming complex statistical
systems in Oracle RDBMS on Sun/Unix boxes.
Check out our help page for other considerations to
take into account when choosing a web design company.

What you need to do
Decide what you would like your web pages to convey about your company.
It needs to contain sufficient information for potential clients to give you the edge
against your competitors.
Think about the main topics for your site and calculate how many separate pages you will need.
Then go to our designs page and choose the layout
& colour scheme for your business website.
"If you don't understand me, I'm not doing my job."
Confusing technical jargon is a sign of insecurity, not intelligence.
You may telephone us to ask questions on 023 9236 0528 & you can be sure
that the conversation will be devoid of 'techie talk' unless you
specifically ask for technical information!
Alternatively you may complete our
online form
or email us.
We ask you to email us sufficient information for just a single page draft design. This
may be viewed 7 - 10 days later with no obligation.

June 2009: Biomimicry: why the world is full of intelligent design
Forget human ingenuity - the best source of ideas for cutting-edge technology might be in nature, according to experts in 'biomimicry'.
We humans like to think we're pretty good at design and technology – but we often forget that Mother Nature had a head start of 3.6 million years. Now, the way that geckoes climb walls, or hummingbirds hover, is at the centre of a burgeoning industry: biomimicry, the science of "reverse-engineering" clever ideas from the natural world.
Such efforts are, in a way, nothing new. Joseph Paxton's designs for the Crystal Palace that housed the Great Exhibition of 1851 were based, in part, on his observations of the structure of giant water lilies. George de Mestral, a Swiss engineer, came up with the concept of Velcro after observing the way burdock seeds clung to his clothes and the fur of his dog.
Yet as we become more and more concerned about the environmental impact of our behaviour, biomimicry is becoming fashionable.
"Imitating natural systems is about trying to mimic the amazing effectiveness of ecosystems, where the waste from one system or animal is used as the nutrients for another," says Michael Pawlyn, the director of a sustainable architecture firm and one of the designers of the Eden Project in Cornwall. "Often, by applying ideas from ecosystems you can turn problems into solutions that are better both environmentally and commercially."
Suppose, for example, you want to avoid the expense of cleaning a building. Scientists noticed that lotus leaves grow in muddy environments, yet remain pristine: the plants are self-cleaning. On closer examination, the researchers found tiny ridges and bumps on the leaves that stop water from spreading across the surface; instead, droplets slide away, carrying particles of dirt with them. They used this to come up with a paint that retains tiny bumps in its surface when it dries, copying the self-cleaning mechanism of the lotus.

June 2009: 'Millionth English word' declared
A US web monitoring firm has declared the millionth English word to be Web 2.0, a term for the latest generation of web products and services.
Global Language Monitor (GLM) searches the internet for newly coined terms, and once a word or phrase has been used 25,000 times, it recognises it.
GLM said Web 2.0 beat out the terms Jai ho, N00b and slumdog to take top spot.
However, traditional dictionary makers are casting doubt on the claim and the methods behind it.
GLM, based in Texas, makes its money telling organisations how often they are mentioned in new media, such as the internet, but it can also track new words and expressions.
Once a word has been used 25,000 times on social networking and other sites, GLM declares it be a new word.
The terms Jai ho and slumdog originate from the hit movie Slumdog Millionaire, about India's slum dwellers.
But N00b comes from the gaming community, the company said, explaining that it is used as a disparaging term to describe a neophyte in a particular game.
It is also the "only mainstream English word that contains within itself two numerals", GLM said in a statement posted on its website.
However lexicographers doubt GLM's claim, says BBC arts correspondent Lawrence Pollard.
Dictionaries have tighter criteria about what constitutes a new word. For example, it has to be used over a certain period of time.
Lexicographers say the exact size of the English vocabulary is impossible to quantify, but if every technical term or obscure specialist word is accepted then we are already beyond one million, according to our correspondent.
And if the inclusion of specialist slang is restricted, then there are possibly three quarters of a million words in English.
All of which is way beyond the 20-40,000 words a fluent speaker would use, or the few thousand you could get by with in English.
But with 1.5 billion people speaking some version of English, it is small wonder it is the fastest growing language in the world, our correspondent adds.
