Web Design and Development

At ATP Online, we develop web sites that are stylish, fast loading, straightforward to navigate and search engine friendly. Just as each company is different, so are the web sites we create, with each one being tailored to your business' specific needs.

Whether it's a simple brochure web site, a full e-commerce solution or a Content Management System, we have the knowledge, technology and resources to handle your project from initial design concepts to launch. Whatever your web design requirements and budget, we'll be able to find a solution to fit.

We design each web site through a step-by-step development process and series of client consultations:

•  Step 1: Analysis

We begin with an analysis of your business and brand in order to set the design tone and style of the site. Existing corporate colours, fonts, logos etc will be incorporated into the web design to keep continuity with the rest of your literature or marketing material. We will discuss the aim of the web site with you, for example, whether it is intended to be an online brochure to provide information, drive sales, and capture visitor data, or an e-commerce shopping site. We also look at your target audience so we can create a design ‘look and feel' that will appeal to your customers. We will ask you about the day-to-day management of your site and establish whether you will require a Content Management System for you to control on-going amends and updates, or whether you are happy for this work to be undertaken by a third party.

•  Step 2: Site Design, Build and Testing

We will present you with concept designs for the look of the web site as well as a site plan to show the proposed structure. Your feedback is vital at this stage and we will amend the plan and design visuals to make sure you are 100% happy before going any further.

After your approval, we will build the site, incorporating a Content Management System or Flash animation if requested. We promote accessibility in all our design work and ensure our web sites are validated to meet current web standards. We also place huge emphasis on ensuring a web site is search engine friendly. This is particularity important for ecommerce web sites. A high Google ranking means more sales!

Finally, we do comprehensive testing of all our web sites across multiple browser and platform combinations to ensure compatibility. When we are confident your site is functioning well from a technical perspective, you will be asked to sign off the web site before it goes ‘live'.

•  Step 3: Launch and Hosting

We are happy to work with a web hosting company of your choice. Alternatively, ATP offers a very competitive shared-hosting service, with a flat rate product designed to accommodate all your bandwidth and security requirements. Hosting if provided by Leeds based hosting company dedicore.

•  Step 4: Promotion

We recommend a comprehensive Search Engine Optimisation strategy to support your web site build and ensure your site reaches its desired audience. We also recommend Pay Per Click and Link Building campaigns to accompany the SEO. Please refer to our sections on Search Engine Optimisation, SEO Link Building and Pay Per Click Campaigns for further details.

Brochure Web Sites

Do you have a company brochure and are looking for a simple web presence? We can use the branding, imagery, text and overall content of your brochure as a basis for an eye-catching online web site design. Your web site will look great, support your brochure and reinforce your corporate branding. It will also be developed according to the best practices of web design, for example, ease of navigation, accessibility and Search Engine Optimisation. We recommend all our sites contain a data capture facility so our clients can build up an internal database for email campaigns. Please refer to our section on Email Marketing for further details.

Ecommerce Web Sites

At ATP Online, we use a bespoke ecommerce solution which has been custom designed to be exceptionally powerful, yet easy to use. You'll find it incorporates every feature you will ever need from an online shopping system. All our ecommerce sites begin with a professional and eye-catching site design and are then tailored to fit our clients' specific requirements and budget.

Our bespoke ecommerce sites can include:

• Content Management System with user–friendly admin panel – allows easy editing and updating of copy, products, prices, descriptions, images etc
• Unlimited number of products or images per product
• Automatic mouseover zoom function on product images
• Product search facility and advanced search facility, including category drill-down search feature
• Automatic bulk price adjustments
• Special offer creation
• Flexible payment options – allows easy customer payment via multiple merchant accounts & payment gateways
• Self learning feature for cross-selling products – "Customers who bought this also purchased..."
• ‘Tell a Friend' facility
• FAQ section – for customers' questions directly to you online
• Customer discussion forum
• ‘Request a product' facility
• Customer service management tool
• Easy to use tools for tracking and presenting sales conversions, orders, profit analysis etc
• Full stock control including reports and alerts
• Compatibility with accounting systems eg Sage – allows easy integration with existing company set-up

We will build you an ecommerce site that the search engines love. But, to maximise your search engine potential and product optimisation, our ecommerce sites also include:

• Tool to automatically generate product description keywords
• Google shopping feed generation – automatically creates product files to be uploaded

At ATP Online, we believe that regular ‘aftersales' communication by email is a hugely important marketing tool. Our ecommerce sites manage customer data and generate mailing lists for email marketing campaigns, such as a newsletter or special offer promotion. Emails to an internal database can be dispatched directly via the web site, removing the need for an additional email marketing facility.

Website Content Management Systems (CMS)

Do you want to make sure that the content on your site remains up-to-date without having to pay a web designer to make the changes? If so, you'll need a Content Management System (CMS).

Our bespoke Content Management Systems give you control over your web site content and appearance in a completely user-friendly way. Simply log in on the control panel with a username and password and you will be presented with a simple interface that allows you to amend the menu navigation, add pages, delete pages, edit text and delete or add images.

The layout and tools of the system mimic those found on word processor packages such as Microsoft Word, so you should find it straightforward to use. You can:

• Add your own additional pages and menu items
• Quickly and easily add multi-tier drop-down menus
• Format text with range of available fonts
• Add hyperlinks
• Upload images and files (eg spreadsheets, PDF documents, MP3 files etc.)
• Add and edit tables
• Easily email forms

Website Security

Our web sites are developed with a high level of built-in security.

We use a Human Validation technique (“Type what you see in the box”) to prevent spam and fake orders being placed onto a web site. We also have a password protected control panel on our Content Management Systems and have a multi-level user function, allowing different access levels to different site administrators.
