Our Services In Detail...

– Visual Design

We offer expertise in website design that blends aesthetics with usability and functionality. Working with our client, we assess their unique requirements, desires and tastes, to create a design that attracts, informs and lasts the test of time.

– Accessibility

The web is a rapidly changing medium and while in days gone by it was easy to ignore notions such as accessibility, in today's modern web that is no longer an option.

Users with disabilities are a growing online demographic and a market that no business can ignore. Indeed government websites in many countries are required by law to cater fully for users with disabilities.

Abecto creates websites that adhere stringently to coding and accessibility standards to ensure that every website we create reaches the widest possible audience in the optimum format.

We don't leave accessibility as an after-thought, we put it front and centre in all our work.

– HTML / CSS Frontend Coding

Closely related to accessibility, our HTML and CSS coding adheres to strict standards to ensure that all our websites validate to W3C Standards. By doing so, document structure and semantics remain fully accessible and the information communicated by each web page remains intact.

By using CSS (Cascading Style Sheets), website presentation and visual layout is separated from the actual content of each page.

In plain English, each layer of a website is kept strictly separate so that it can be delivered in the optimum format for each user depending on their chosen platform (web browser, mobile phone, screen reader, PDA etc).

– Backend Development

Abecto uses the latest technologies to create feature-rich, dynamic websites. From bespoke content-managed websites, to e-commerce online stores and 'Web 2.0' applications. We have the knowledge, expertise and track record to meet your requirements.

Abecto has been sub-contracted by several design companies for our development services and we are continually keeping abreast of the latest trends in the industry - including technologies like AJAX and Ruby on Rails.

Companies Abecto have been sub-contracted by include DCoy Design and XMI Design.

– Hosting

Once a website is created, it needs a home. Abecto will help you choose the best solution for your website, be it hosting with a reputable third party, or on one of our own servers or on a dedicated server which we can configure for you.

We have extensive expertise in website deployment, with a proven track record hosting and optimising large high traffic websites, including RedCafe.net which serves over four million page views, and 100 gigabytes of traffic, a month.

– Search Engine Optimisation

Closely related to our Accessibility and HTML / CSS Frontend Coding services, search engine optimisation is an essential step in the creation of any website. If search engines cannot find your website, then neither will your target audience.

By adhering to best coding practices and standards, our websites are guaranteed to be optimised for search engine indexing and ranking. We don't perform any magic or tricks to try and fool search engines, those days are long gone. Instead we describe web page data using properly structured semantic code and let the search engines do the rest. It shouldn't be any more complicated than that!

We will also assist you in requesting links to your website from other sites in the same market. This can help your search engine ranking with the likes of Google.

– Ongoing Maintenance & Support

Our involvement with your website does not end after it launches and the champagne is long drunk.

We offer ongoing maintenance and support services to continually update and improve your websites. We understand that a website is organic and continually growing. As its needs continue to grow, our services will be on hand to meet those needs and ensure your website continues to prosper.
