Several graphic design agencies in Manchester have very good web design skills, but few have in-house expertise in web development and web server technical support.

This was the case with the website for the Expert Patients Programme. Our web design and web development teams took the existing web design and developed it into a fully functional website with an easy to use content management system (CMS), which allows the client to update the website themselves.

The new web design is now hosted on a Linux server and we provide routine maintenance including installing patches to the CMS system, Linux server software updates and patches and website traffic reporting.

In addition to providing web design services for the Tullis Russell Group, we also provide web hosting and website support services.

Part of this work has recently involved updating their website with additional product information and stockist information. We also carry out routine maintenance on their Linux web server including downloading and installing the latest server software updates and patches. We now also provide Google analytics consultancy.

We look forward to our continuing our web support services for Tullis Russell in 2010 and to increasing visitors to their website through our search engine optimisation (SEO) and SEO copywriting services.

As part of our continuing service for the Tullis Russell Group, we  are now providing web hosting and support for the Tullis Russell website, which is now hosted on one of our dedicated servers.

As well as transferring the current website to our servers, we have also integrated the new web design for the Papermakers section of the website, gradually bringing the look and feel of the site up to date.

After 25 years of successfully selling toys to over 25,000 shops in the UK, BJ Toys goes online with a new ecommerce website design developed by Pixel8 in Manchester.

Pixel8’s ecommerce website solution is a sophisticated website that seamlessly links their stock management system with the website, ensuring that the products are available at the time of order.

Payment and delivery detail management is also automated making the whole fulfillment experience part of the main business. Fully managed and hosted on a dedicated server, an SQL database was set up with web services enabling seamless interaction with the main business data warehouse.
