Website Design Aberystwyth, Wales

Pixelwave Web Design is pleased to announce that INTRtri now have a fully bilingual, Welsh and English website.

After building an English website based on a CMS for them that went live last October, I was asked to make the site fully bilinugual in February. I soon had the outlines of the Welsh version ready for them and then the arduous process of translating all of the content began. I also used this time to train the translator in the use of the Content Management System so that now that the Welsh version of the site is live she should be able to keep it up to date and in line with the English version.

It’s always good to promote the Welsh language and to provide better accessibility for visitors to websites. Adding a Welsh version to any website for businesses or organisations within Wales is always a good thing and provide first language support for many people using the site.

I’m pleased to announce that Pixelwave Web Design has just released a brand new website for Brodie Communications, an educational publisher in Wales.

Their new website is a bold, colourful eye-catching design that I’m quite proud of. Better still, the client seems to like it was well. Most of the site is a simple, static, brochure-style website that is easy on the eye, professional yet fun and engaging too. Built in standards compliant HTML5 it works well across all modern browsers and degrades nicely on older versions as well.

In addition to informing the visitor to the website about Brodie Communications and their services, there is also a small online shop where customers can buy their publications. The website also features a latest news section with an easy to use Content Management System that allows staff at Brodie Communications to update their website free of charge whenever they wish.

The website went live last week and the clients spent some time with me earlier this week receiving some training on the use of the Content Management System. They have since added some news items themselves and are excited about their new wesbite and the prospect of keeping it up to date with the latest happenings within their company.

Pixelwave Design wish them well with their business and hope to work with them on maintaining the site and adding new features in the future.

Pixelwave Website Design is just about to start work on a brand new website for Geoscience Wales.

Geoscience Wales Limited is a not-for-profit company based in North Wales that supplies a diverse range of services and products in the petroleum, mineral, geotechnical and sustainable energy sectors.

They approached me earlier in the year asking for a new website. After an initial consultation with one of their members, an evaluation of their previous website and some emails, I produced a proposal document outlining what I thought was the best approach for their new web presence.

The proposal was well received with responses such as:

“This should get a very positive response. No obvious stones unturned!”

and

“Thanks for the proposal document. I agree with Patrick and Eddie that it looks like just what we want, thanks”

I’m therefore about to start work on their new site. It will be a Content Management System based website so that secretarial staff at their offices in North Wales will be able to keep the site up to date. They’ll be able to add and edit pages within the site, organise the pages and update the latest news section. All of this will be achieved through an easy to use admin panel allowing them to keep the site updated as often as is necessary.

As well as designing and building the website, Pixelwave Web Design will provide training in the use of the CMS along with some best practise tips on writing for the web, editing and maintaining web content, I will of course also provide them with ongoing support should they need it.

Here at Pixelwave Web Design I’ve recently started work on updating and managing an old fashioned website built by someone else for Nick Sanders. Although the site looked very nice, the coding behind it was very old fashioned and had been created by a WYSIWYG editor so was horrible to edit and major changes to the site were becoming quite time consuming.

After discussion with Nick it was decided to update his site and rebuild it using modern, standards compliant coding and a nice new Content Management System so that he can add news stories and other updates to the site himself. In the long run this should save him considerably as updates to the site will be quick, easy and for the most part free.

On top of this the site will load quicker, be more compatible and much better optimised for search engines.

I’ve just started work on the new site which will where possible retain the aesthetics of the old site but will be completely re-developed from the ground up. Look out for it to be released soon.

Pixelwave Web Design is pleased to announce the release of a brand new website for Inside Edge Training.

Inside Edge ‘provides an exciting array of creative solutions and initiatives to support your people development agenda’. They offer management training to individual, teams and organistaions and provide services for

• Team and Organisational development
• Management Skills programmes
• 1:1 Coaching

Their new website is a brochure style site that outlines the services they offer, their experience and the benefits their training can provide. The site itself is easy to navigate, accessible and easy to read with a bright, colourful, positive feel.

Inside Edge Training is led by Gary Morgan who seems really pleased with the final results – and has even offered to send me some beer as a thank-you for my help with building the site – along of course with the final payment!

I’ve just finished the Welsh version of the Morris & Bates website. It’s taken a while to get the translations checked but it is now live.

Bilingual website are important to the welsh speaking community in this part of the world, and although they do add considerably to the cost of building an maintaining a website, they can be essential where many of your clients are welsh-speaking.

It’s therefore good to see that thanks to Pixelwave Web Design Morris & Bates Solicitors now have a full bilingual website.

Pixelwave Web Design has just started work on a new project for Brodie Communications.

Brodie Communications write, design and publish for the educational market and have a range of products which they sell worldwide through their website.

Their new website is to be a bold, eye-catching site that show-cases their various product lines and highlights the services they offer. In addition to the brochure style website, it will also contain a latest news feature driven by a robust content management system that will allow staff at Brodie Communications to keep the site up to date and inform visitors of new products and promotions.

I’ve already made a start on the basic structure and design of the site. I shall now start testing this before liaising with the client for feedback on the design. All being well, once the design is signed off I shall soon have the website live for all to see.

Pixelwave Web Design has just started work on a new website for the Machynlleth Advice Centre.

Their old website was looking a little dated. I didn’t build it in the first place but I recently took over the hosting and maintenance of the site and now they have decided that it is time for a revamp so I’ve been tasked with building a new one.

The new website will be a fairly simple brochure style website outlining the services they provide.

I should have mentioned this here a while back, as the website I was building for Event Eateries went live quite a while ago. However, I was just in the process of updating my Pixelwave Web Design Portfolio when I noticed that I hadn’t  mentioned the fact that it was now live.

In fact the website has been up and running for quite some time and has even had several updates made to it since then. The website for Event Eateries is a bright, eye-catching website outlining the new companies services and background and providing information for event caterers.

Pixelwave Web Design has recently started work for world renowned motorcyclist Nick Sanders.

I’ve done a considerable amount of work on his website for him now, updating many of the pages with his latest news and adventures, and have been producing printed material for download such as application forms and FAQ sheets for people about to embark on a motorcycling adventure with him. I’ll soon be working on some SEO for his website too.
