web development service for business

The Directors of Inspire Web Development, David Dwyer and Martin J Smith, have worked together for nearly 10 years. It is their professional experience and unique vision that has led directly to the success of the company. Under their direction Inspire remains customer-focused and dedicated to making sure their clients get online, stay online and get value from being online.

Inspire’s experienced, professional project management ensures that your work will be done according to agreed specifications, on time and to budget. We use industry-standard PRINCE2 guidelines for all our projects, no matter what the size or scope. All our clients have a named, accountable Project Manager (PM) to work with them before, during and after the development of their site.

At the very start of your project, a member of our Business Analysis team will sit down with you to discuss your business model, your particular needs and your web development budget. After fully understanding your business he or she will examine competitors’ sites, make suggestions, document and agree with you the requirements for your new site and match them with what the web can deliver. If budget is an issue, your analyst can design the site so that it will be easy to expand in future.

Working with great graphic designers is an essential part of web development. Our creative team has qualifications in art and design from Glasgow Caledonian University. From website storyboards and banners to letterheads and logos, our multi-talented designers can give even the smallest firms an eye-catching, professional and unified image.

Inspire’s developers work in today’s most dynamic and powerful languages including PHP, .Net and Flash to make your site come to life. They follow a structured development process, with input from your Project Manager and the Business Analysis and Graphic Design teams. Only when you have signed off the requirements for your site do they begin building it in our test environment. They also make sure your site is fully tested before passing it back for sign-off.

Only when a site has been built, tested and approved by you is it ready to go live. Our Implementation team takes the site from the test environment to the live environment, making it available to the public on the Internet. At this stage your site undergoes ‘commission testing’ and further checks to ensure it looks good and works as it should.

Our work isn’t over when your website goes live. After the launch of your site your Support and Maintenance team will ensure that email and server queries are dealt with quickly and efficiently. Your Account Manager will consult with you about any tweaks that need to be made, or work with you to gather requirements for any long-term development. Semi-annual site reviews are included in our all our packages to ensure you get the best value from being online.

Great web copy isn’t the only thing you need to make your website visible to search engines. Our experienced SEO team will audit your web presence against Web best practice, evaluating what signals it is sending to search engines. Our ‘On-Site’ team reviews the signals sent by your site while our ‘Off-Site’ team reviews and designs strategies for improving how the rest of the web views your site.

Experience has shown us that many marketing agencies or web development firms want to expand their business, but simply don’t have the capacity in terms of funding, staffing or experience. As a result, they often miss the opportunity to take on extra work, or add an important client to their portfolio. Our Outsourcing team works with such firms to understand their temporary needs, and provide them with a managed service of a Developer and Project Manager.

e-Marketing really is a team effort. Our graphic designers work with our programmers, business analysts – and you – to design the most effective promotional campaigns for your business and your clients. Our e-Marketing team works with social media like Facebook and Twitter, email, ‘pay-per-click’, Adsense, surveys, and all other forms of direct communication to make sure your clients are engaged and get your message.

Stuck for words? Our copywriter can help. An expert in copy-editing, proofreading and editing too, our writer can work wonders with existing text, or create new web copy based on your drafts and ideas. Our copywriter also works with our SEO team to identify and use keywords for maximum visibility.
