Bespoke web design is paramount at The Neon Hive. Every brand is unique and, therefore, deserves a website that reinforces its own individual image. Off-the-shelf templates just don’t cut it in such a notoriously competitive market.

We are passionate about seeing your online business grow and make a difference. Our web designers and developers work hand-in-hand to breathe life into your brand.

Accessibility

Our websites are built for accessibility and are in compliance with W3C (Worldwide Web Consortium) guidelines and best practices.

What does this really mean?

W3C compliant means an you reach out to an increased audience, acquire better search status, establish improved brand credibility, keep website maintenance and can kick back safe in the knowledge that there are no legal gremlins hiding just around the corner.

Usability

The Neon Hive do not follow usability trends, trends can become redundant. We take the full navigational structure of your website into consideration before we set about the design let alone the build. All of our websites are subject to rigorous testing before its official launch to establish usability – the user experience must be intuitive, enjoyable and never hard work!

Search Engine Optimisation (SEO)

SEO, like accessibility and usability, deserves its fair share of attention. Our developers factor in SEO from the offset not add it as a simple after thought. Well, what good is a beautiful, functional and intuitive website if nobody gets to see it?!

Content Management Systems (CMS)

In our experience, CMS features high up on our clients’ “Most Wanted” list. Our bespoke online solutions enable our clients the ability to edit their website content in a self-sufficient manner giving them the control. The advantages of bespoke CMS are abundant, far out weigh off-the-shelf solutions and are often more affordable than many maverick agencies or independents would lead you to believe.

The benefits of CMS include:

* Quicker to add / edit content
* More self sufficiency / less reliance on your developer
* Lower support and maintenance fees
* Increased website stability
* Fully integrated SEO
* Web based remote access via secure log-in + tiered admin functions
