We don't just build new website from scratch - we can also rebuild your existing website and optimise it for search engines, freshen up graphics and text copy and provide extra admin tools to allow you to update your content. We specialise in converting ecommerce websites which are hard to maintain - if you dont have online admin for products then get in touch and see what we can do for you.
Website Hosting and email
We can host your website from just £10 per year with your own email address @ yourdomain. We typically do not need to transfer in domain names if they are already running - we just need to point to our hosting and away you go with full FTP access to manage your files. If you havent already bought a domain name then we can help you with naming ideas and places to buy your domain names from. Pricing for hosting is based on website traffic, the amount of data space used and complexity of the website.
All our email and website hosting is provided by Zen Internet who have been voted best business ISP for quite a number of years now. They provide excellent customer support and a great hosting service.
Product Photography
Need to show your products online but don't have any decent photos? We can produce professional digital photos for ecommerce, for window displays and advertising usage. From designer clothing to designer handbags. We have access to a range of local models for location or photo shoots in our studio and we have light tents setup for small products. We can also do 'green screen' photoshoots and add in custom background or provide with an alpha channel for use in flash.
We do all post production and retouching and can add custom logos, watermarks and branding. Images can be supplied via ftp, email or on CD or DVD as required.

Digital media conversions for web and DVD
We can convert your existing photo or video resources into the best format for the web. Do you have old promotional material on DVD you want to put on Youtube ? Or a range of photso and video you need reformatting for DVD? We can covert virtually any source material into a range of web formats - Windows media (and HD versions), Quicktime, MPEG, Real media, flash video and playable SWF files. We can tailor the compression formats to suit the website from HD material for Vimeo.com or veoh.com to best formats for your own website, Youtube or facebook. See some of our example video encoding on our clips page
We can also use video and stills for creating custom flash animations too like the example above - this is made using a 3d model with custom vector based graphic design (the tattoo), edited in Final Cut and produced as a Quicktime movie and converted into a playable flash swf format.

We can convert from virtually any photo and video format into web ready media - for Chilli TV we created all the Quicktime and windows media video files for the website, most were either from DV tapes or DVD and some were pre-formatted for mobile phone playback. With some clips we had to do basic top/tail editing and add watermarks.
