Piccante Web Design - High impact, low cost. We aim for 100% customer satisfaction from consultation to publication and to make the process as simple for you as possible.
Piccante Web Design is an established internet design business that specialises in producing customised websites for small enterprises. Each website is handmade and therefore unique - with as much (or as little) design input as you - the customer want to provide.
If you are completely new to the internet then Piccante can take you through the entire process - from securing your domain name (your business 'address' on the internet) to full hosting services (putting your website on the internet) and email.
Piccante Web Design is building its reputation on customer satisfaction and is not a here-today-gone-tomorrow business. We do not outsource any web design work to third-parties as this could compromise design quality and our relationship with you, the customer. Some of our customer referrals can be seen here.
Design Philosophy
Piccante web designs are based on the following principles:
Visual impact - provided by the effective use of graphics and images, text placement, colour and layout design.
Consistency - pages within a website maintain uniformity for a consistent appearance and ease of useability and navigation.
Simplicity - designs are well thought out and uncluttered. The use of complex background images and unsuitable bright colours are avoided producing polished, professional images.
Compatibility - all websites are tested on Windows and Mac computers across several major internet browsers, including Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Opera, Netscape Navigator and Safari (Mac only). Websites are also tested for appearance in varying browser window sizes and with different text sizes.
Fast download - internet users with slow internet connections become impatient waiting for complex websites to download. Piccante ensures that graphic content will download as quickly as possible and tailors your website to your target market.
Search engine optimisation - Piccante will work with you to identify keywords applicable to your business which will assist major search engines locate your site. (Google, Yahoo! and Alta Vista, for example, are 'search engines' that many internet users will use to locate websites via keyword searches.
Respect for internet users (your customers) - text (font) sizes are able to be increased for those with poorer vision without disrupting the layout and visual appeal of your website.
Respect for copyright and intellectual property ownership - Piccante uses only fully licenced software in the production of its websites. Images used (or the rights to use images) are either owned by Piccante Web Design, our clients (for use in their own websites), or acknowledged in accordance with copyright requirements.
