A CMS, or content management system, enables the website owner to make changes to their own site. This is a very popular request as many businesses wish to make website updates without the use of a web designer.

When building a cms website I use a piece of software called WordPress. The Wordpress platform has become extremely popular all across the world from small sites to huge corporate companies. It's easy for the client to use and offers a range of options depending on your package including adding pages, editing pages, adding video and images, running a blog and more. I specialise in customising Wordpress to meet the needs of each project, so no two sites are the same!

You can visit the CMS page to find out more information on Wordpress. Take control of your site with Ransome Design and Wordpress!

Web design is the core of all services I offer. There are also numerous useful extras to consider...

• Static design and build (this can have a CMS built in)
• Design only - with a PSD or PNG file upon completion
• Build only (to your specification or a pre-made design)
• Contact forms - secure and built to your individual requirements
• Embedded media such as video and audio
• Embedded google maps - custom sizes and map pointer for your business
• Email campaigns with a bespoke email template
• Social media integration such as twitter and facebook

Search engine optimisation, or SEO for short, is the process of optimising your site for the search engines. Often, the majority of visits to a website will be generated through search results from the major search engines Google, Bing and Yahoo. A well optimsed site will rank much higher than a site with no or poor optimsation. I use a number of techniques to improve a website's ranking. All SEO work that is undertaken can be monitored via a Google Analytics account.

If you have a website made by me from scratch, a standard amount of SEO is included - sometimes this is all you need. However, you may wish to enter a more competitive market or increase the ranking of your website in general. I can help you by making pages which target specific keywords and/or territories, optimising your website's code and optimising your content. I also submit any new work to google (bing and yahoo are optional) to ensure you see the results as soon as possible.

My Logo Design ranges from simple and elegant text-type logos, to full-on custom graphics drawn in the latest design software. A new logo is often a good accompaniment to a new website or a re-branding of your image. I do offer logo design as a stand alone service too, with prices starting from just £100 for text-type logos.

Any Logo(s) I design will be available in multiple sizes and a format of your choosing. When designing a new logo I will take into account your company image, industry, colours and application. A good logo will work in a variety of situations, from a letterhead to a sign-written van. Call today to find out more about logo design or visit the Logo Design page.
