Website Development

In addition to designing web sites for clients we also work with other design companies to develop functioning web sites from their designs. This process involves taking the completed design documents and building a complete functioning site, including navigation, embedded features such as photo galleries and optimisation of the structure and content to the target market.

A Case study - Kitchen Irons

Kitchen Irons is a small kitchenware company that handcraft bespoke wrought iron kitchen racks. After operating the company for some time they were able to better identify their target customers and engaged the design company Holy Cow to create a new web site design that was clean, simple, upmarket and elegant.

The Ideas Forge took the design and built the navigation, the photo galleries and the custom ecommerce elements. The development objective was to ensure that the site remained simple and intuitive to use.

We have worked with Richard Fishenden of Kitchen Irons for a number of years now and over this time have built up an understanding of his approach to his products, the attention to detail and his objectives. We try to reflect these values through the work we do on his website.

Hidden from view are all the little things that make a site work well, like Site maps to tell search engines about the pages, clean HTML coding ensuring page is delivered quickly and with no errors, and error handling to ensure useful pages are displayed in the event of errors.

Richard comments: "I was recommended The Ideas Forge by a client of mine and have used them now for over 3 years. In that time they have looked after all of my SEO and website requirements.

I feel that they are a step above the rest because of the personal service that they offer. They are a firm who actually care if you do well or not. and more importantly you deal with the same person all the time, they really get to know you and your business needs.

If you are looking for value for money, personal service then these guys are the business! "

Update:

Kitchen Irons has spun off a new business making hand forged iron curtain poles - Curtain Irons. The branding used is completely in line with the Kitchen Irons look and feel.
