About Creare
& Our Approach To Web Design

About Us

Creare began almost a decade ago as a directory-advertising consultancy. Since then we have rapidly evolved and expanded. We are now proud to offer our clients the complete service spanning web design, website development and search engine marketing.

At Creare we have over 150 employees from varying backgrounds and disciplines who are dedicated and passionate about the services we offer to our clients. Our combined expertise and knowledge means that you can rely on us to ensure that your project is completed to the highest of industry standards.

Our main aim is to improve the online exposure for all our clients via innovative designs and online marketing campaigns that simply work.

All of our design work is bespoke, made in the UK and nothing is outsourced. This means that you can liaise with your designer during every step of the project to create a website design that represents your business in the most effective way.

Web Design

The design of a website is fundamental towards attracting the correct target audience. Whilst being bespoke and individual in style, Creare always offer a solution that is both relevant and appropriate in design, to allow an instant recognition of content genre.

Our workflow is simple and accommodating to allow the very best experience for all our clients. Our processes towards designing and developing a site are organised and well structured. We begin with a sketched, wire-frame version before moving onto a homepage mock-up, designed to demonstrate a style and layout that best represents the business requirements.

The initial website design is then presented, discussed and refined accordingly before being signed off, coded and set live.

Our web designers work with the very latest, industry standard authoring tools. All of our design teams are trained and experienced with Adobe’s powerful Creative Suite which includes programmes such as:

  • Adobe Photoshop
  • Adobe Dreamweaver
  • Adobe Flash
  • Adobe Illustrator
  • Adobe InDesign
  • Adobe Fireworks

By sharing designs, ideas and inspiration, we have developed a dynamic design team who passionately produce websites in a creative environment.

Website Development

When it comes to developing dynamic websites, there are a variety of options available to every web design company. Some companies choose to use their own in-house software to create websites; however this limits their compatibility with other systems and also dramatically impacts their website's longevity.

Here at Creare we prefer to develop our dynamic websites with PHP, MySQL and Open Source platforms.

We also develop bespoke systems from scratch, where needed, which are also created to be fully compatible with Open Source packages like Wordpress and Magento. This allows us to be flexible when it comes to development and build a site most suitable for our clients needs.

We've chosen to use Open Source solutions for one very important reason – they are the most cost-effective web development strategy around today, which means that you, as the customer, pay less for an established, powerful system.

It also means that we do not hold the rights to your website – the rights to the design, development and coding belong to you. Should you wish to leave to another provider, you are free to migrate your website in its entirety.

We at Creare believe in providing more than one solution to our clients and allow them to decide which direction they want to go. This is why we don't insist on contracts, and believe in our services enough to ensure our clients receive the most for their money.

Website Usability

The websites we create at Creare not only look great; they are also built to adhere to all of the latest industry standards and guidelines for website usability.

Building our sites with accessibility in mind, we include as much real text as possible to help users with screen readers and impaired vision experience the same view as those without.

We also label every image with appropriate ALT tags, and lay the HTML coding out in an easy to understand manner, so screen readers can access the content in the correct order. We believe everyone should have the same online experience regardless of their unique requirements.

Here at Creare we consider ourselves at the forefront of web design & development and are dedicated to building all of our sites to the latest standards.

This includes W3C compliant semantic coding on all of our websites, as well as clean and efficient coding which helps improve page-loading times and provides a seamless online experience.

With so many Internet Browsers out there, it is vital that your web design performs and displays correctly in all of them. If this isn't the case, you are alienating customers and thus missing out on potential sales.

Every website we create is thoroughly tested in all the major browsers, to ensure compatibility regardless of whether the user is on a brand new Mac computer, or a 15 year old PC.

SEO

With the steady demise of printed media and the constant evolution of the internet, having a successful website design has never been a more important marketing tool.

Of course it takes more than an interesting design to succeed online. Fortunately, investing in SEO from Creare can help your website reach thousands of people a day.

A website is a tool to attract customers and convince them through text, images, video and media as to why you're the business to choose.

A website allows you to provide concise and technical knowledge in additional documents, for those customers keen to do thorough research before making a decision on which business to choose.

There are two types of SEO; Organic and Pay Per Click. We specialise in organic SEO, which is the process of strengthening websites so that they rank highly in the search results. We do provide Pay Per Click campaigns, though we consider this a short-term option and not the most cost effective option for our clients.

We have been developing and evolving our SEO skills for over 5 years. As the major search engines are constantly evolving their algorithms, our dedicated SEO team are always researching and adapting their approach.

In fact, we have so much faith in our SEO services that you won't be asked to sign a contract; we know that we can do for your business works. If you disagree, you can simply walk away!
