Website design & development
From microsites to database driven web applications, creating first class websites is what we do best. The initial concept for webfire was to focus solely on website design and development services and today it remains our primary business activity. Some companies specialise in design, whilst others focus on technology; we believe that these disciplines go hand in hand when it comes to creating successful websites.
We believe that good design is more than just making things look visually appealing, it's also about making things easy for the people who will eventually be using the site. We aim to create simple, functional websites which reflect your brand, work flawlessly, and adhere to web standards. Successful design starts with analysing your business and your brand, we usually produce a couple of options and you can refine the design as you see fit.
Once approved we turn these designs into standards complaint, search-engine friendly webpages which are optimised to load quickly, and work across all browsers and platforms. If you intend on selling products and services online we can implement a secure, robust e-commerce shopping cart system for your website. We can also provide a content management system for your website which will allow you to manage the content yourselves rather than relying on a web designer.
We have experience creating social networking websites which allow members to login and post content online, interact with each other, and collaborate on projects. We can also build more complex web applications which can be linked into your existing infrastructure.

Streaming media
webfire has been fortunate enough to share office space with Joose TV; an award winning video production company that specialises in streaming media solutions. We frequently collaborate on client projects to deliver video in new and ever more engaging ways. Many of our clients find that video is by far the most popular content they publish online so where appropriate we encourage clients to consider using video on their websites.
We can track what your visitor's watch, where they come from, and how long they stay. We can also introduce other elements into the mix such as running a Power Point presentation alongside a streaming video; this approach is particularly useful for conferences and public speaking events. There are also ways of allowing users to answer questions as the video plays which is particularly good for online learning.

Content management
With the right content management system (CMS) you can change your website faster without the help of a web designer which lowers your costs. Your content will be fresher and more regularly updated which will help your site's all-important search engine ranking.
There are many choices when it comes to implementing a CMS for your website; your requirements will determine which approach is right for you. We can recommend a product or build one from scratch - the decision will come down to your needs and budget. Key to our success is using products which are intuitive and easy to use, backed up with telephone support to ensure help is always at hand.

E-commerce
We ensure that our e-commerce sites are quick to load, glitch-free and professional looking. Each of these factors play a crucial role in determining the success of your online shop. With so much choice, customers can afford to be picky about where they spend their money so we try and make sure they have no reason to go elsewhere. For our clients, getting the shopping experience right first time is critical and this is why we spend time testing and re-testing to make sure it works on all types of computers and in different web browsers.
