Cape Town Media - Website Design & Development - South Africa

WEBSITE DESIGN

Many people believe that design consists only of what you see – but we at Cape Town Media believe in creating a cohesive whole between design, available technology, and usability. This ensures that our websites are not only visually appealing, but highly functional and easy to navigate or use – and, through this cohesion, ensures that your website stands apart from the millions that are on the Internet today, enhancing the experience that your client has while interacting with your brand.

Cape Town Media believe in partnerships and relationship building – which is why, once we have worked with you from the inception of a project to its completion, we will always be proactive in looking for new ways to increase the value that you receive from your web solution. This consultative relationship will ensure that your business remains at the cutting edge of technology – keeping you ahead of your industry.

We specialise in the development of Internet brands; however, our consultants are highly skilled and experienced in design and communication across a host of marketing media and market sectors – allowing us to assist you with your brand from scratch, or to transfer your existing brand onto the web.

Whatever juncture your company is at, Contact Cape Town Media to give you a clear and unique presence on the Internet.

 

SELF CONTENT MANAGED WEBSITES
Be in control of your website - update it anywhere and at any time with a custom content management solution. As long as you have access to the Internet, you can log into your website editor (for which you will have access using a username and password), and make small changes without having to pay a design studio to make simple changes – which can often take many days to complete based on their workload.

At Cape Town Media, we focus on developing custom software that is functional, yet easy to use. This focus enables us to bring technology to our clients – making it an accessible and viable option when developing their online presence, and create a maximum return on their investment. You deserve a content management system that suits you – not one that you are forced to adapt to – and Cape Town Media strives to produce a solution that is so user-friendly that it becomes a part of your everyday operations.

For more information on content management systems that will change the way your business manages inventory, your sales force or information, Contact Cape Town Media today.

 

WEBSITE DEVELOPMENT

Your company is nothing like other companies – so why should your website be? An “out of the box” solution may seem like the best option – but will that really set you apart from your competitors?

Definitely not.

This is why we at Cape Town Media ensure that we are able to harness the latest technologies and software in order to facilitate the best possible service for each of our clients when it comes to original website design, social networking, mobile, custom web development, blog design, in-house content management systems and eCommerce facilities. Each service centres on you, the client, and is unique to your needs and the needs of your target market.

By evaluating these needs, Cape Town Media will advise you as to how the Internet can best improve your business online – and we will compile a strategic web development solution that has tangible and quantifiable results.

No matter what your ultimate goal is, Cape Town Media can help you reach it. Contact us today to find out what we can do for your business.

CUSTOM APPLICATION DEVELOPEMENT FOR ONLINE MEDIUMS

There is so much more to the Internet than its use as an advertising medium – and unless you utilise it, you are losing out on the potential growth and development of your company. In order to maximise the use of the Internet, Cape Town Media has assisted many clients in developing custom web-based applications to assist in solving business challenges, and to advance performance through the improvement of operations, technology and creative design.

Each web-based application is universally accessible, and incorporates the latest technologies to ensure long-term functionality of the application. To complement this service, we provide high-speed web hosting for our business clients – allowing for complete backup, recovery and security of information.

“Custom” need not be synonymous with “expensive” – and we pride ourselves in offering professional custom applications that are within the grasp of small to medium-sized enterprises. Contact us today to see how we can change the way you look at business online.

 

WEBSITE USABILITY

Navigating through your website should be a pleasant experience for your client. If they cannot access the information they want, when they want it, they will leave your website with a bad impression of your brand as a whole. This means more clients for your competition – which is something that you can’t afford to happen in the current financial climate.

User interaction is therefore paramount – which is why Cape Town Media has conducted extensive research into how the average user interacts with the Internet and websites. As a result, we are able to compile a website that still utilises complicated technology – but is easy to access. There are many ways in which we can make your client’s visit to your website a pleasant experience, including an effective site structure and navigation, uncomplicated e-commerce systems, fast download times, and enticing copy.

 

ONLINE CONSULTING

The team at Cape Town Media does not only consist of Internet, design and development specialists; but we are a group of businessmen and women who can offer advice regarding the most effective online marketing strategy for your business through our Internet business consultancy.

The services we offer include a critique of existing work, and strategising and development during the conceptual phases of your project. We can either assist you in the above, or implement the entire project for you – our level of activity is entirely up to you.

Contact us today to see how we can assist you in moving forward with your online marketing strategy. 

 

MICRO WEBSITES

You may have a company website that contains all the information possible about your company and the products or services that you offer – but what happens if you have a special offer or a new product that you would like to highlight? If you add the information to your current website, no-one will want to wade through all the other information to get to that content – which would waste a valuable opportunity to generate new business through this new service or product.

In this situation, microsites come to the fore – offering a website that is singular in its focus of content, function and implementation, concentrating on a single market, proposition, campaign or promotion. Visitors to the microsite will be presented with a complete and multi-layered, well-designed website that is full of information tailored to presenting your client with information that is only relevant to whatever attracted them to the microsite initially. For example, should you have a promotional emailer or banner advertisement that shows a new product or service that you offer, and then the microsite will only present information relevant to that product or service. Your client is therefore immediately satisfied – because the information they want is immediately on hand, instead of having to wade through your main website to reach the information.

Microsites have many uses, including:

• Enhancing your Pay-Per-Click campaigns
• Harnessing your newsletters and creating a hub of information
• Enhancing information - becoming a community of network professionals
• Product or brand promotion
• Gathering market-related information and to build databases

Can you afford not to create a microsite for your next project? Contact Cape Town Media for more information.

 

INTRANET DEVELOPMENT

Until you have implemented an intranet for your company, you will never really understand the impact that it will have on the way your company functions. It increases efficiency, streamlines business processes, and correlates all vital information into a central system that is accessible from anywhere in the world using your login information – which, in turn, allows your company to expand and develop.

Essentially speaking, an intranet is a private computer network based on the communication standards of the Internet. It is smaller version of the Internet that is accessible only to members of a company. It is a powerful tool that enables any enterprise to organise, share and manage its data, and communicate quickly between relevant staff within the company. This information can even be shared externally with suppliers, customers and partners – in the form of an extranet where functionality is extended beyond staff – enhancing the efficiency of the company in terms of client assistance and queries. The functionality of the intranet and extranet can be as simple or as complex as required by the needs of your company, with features ranging in scope from data archives and a corporate directory, to broadcast and bulletin boards.

All you need to access the intranet from anywhere in the world, is an Internet connection. This amazing flexibility allows for an efficient and cost effective way in which companies can operate over large distances – making staff members such as remote staff, support teams and sales staff more productive and in-touch with the company. Each user can be acceded various levels of clearance to certain sections of the system – dictating what they can alter or view – which allows for increased security without hampering information sharing.

Each of the systems that Cape Town Media develops is custom-made to suit your individual needs. Our skilled team of software developers has a background in business and technology – which has given them first-hand experience that allows them to create an intranet that will transform your corporate data from a management challenge into a valuable corporate resource. Because Cape Town Media is known for creating complex corporate intranets, we have a reputation of quality, consistency, detailed project management, and timely delivery within budget.

FLASH DESIGN & DEVELOPMENT

With the ever-increasing speed of Internet connections, aspects such as multimedia in the form of Flash are being incorporated into more and more websites to add depth and interactivity. By adding multimedia such as a company video with sound effects, you attract and then engage your client – making them want to spend more time on your website, and, effectively spend more time learning about your company. We offer various options within the multimedia sphere – including Flash animated websites, music and video inclusions, and interactive presentations with 3D graphics and sound.

The potential is limitless – and if leading companies such as Coca-Cola, Disney and General Motors are trying it, shouldn’t you? Contact Cape Town Media today to discuss how we can improve your online brand with our multimedia solutions.

 


EMAIL MARKETING
Online marketing comes in various forms – not many of which are as flexible, fast, cost-effective and easy-to-use as email marketing. No matter the size of your business, you can specifically target your ideal market instantaneously – delivering your message directly and efficiently. The most important aspect of email marketing to your business is how much information you can track and manage – from the number of emails opened, to the number of bounced emails or click-throughs in your email – providing you with the best possible return on investment. Contact Cape Town Media today – we will help you to create and execute an email marketing campaign that reaches and appeals to your target market.

HOSTING PACKAGES

No matter how informative and high-tech your website is, it is all irrelevant if you aren’t hosted on a stable platform that can guarantee that your website will be online at all times. At Cape Town Media, we offer three different types of hosting plans that cater to the individual needs of businesses of all types and sizes.

Standard Hosting
Intermediate Hosting
Extrme Hosting

 

CD-ROM DESIGN

Our interactive, CD Rom Design and CD Rom Development services include integrating multimedia presentations of text, sound, animations, music, video clips, Flash, PowerPoint presentations, searchable databases, and/or PDF files.

The final interactive project can be delivered on a CD ROM, DVD, the Internet, or a combination thereof and can be programmed to run on PC, Mac, or both (hybrid).

 

MOBILE DEVELOPEMNT

Developing a mobile strategy that is creative yet impactful is often difficult to achieve because of the technological and execution difficulties that the mobile device provides. Unless you have an in-depth understanding of marketing and mobile technology, no matter how creative your concept is, you won’t have the desired impact.

At Cape Town Media, we have this understanding, and couple these three elements – marketing knowledge, creative brilliance and mobile technology knowledge – to compile a mobile strategy that works for you.

Contact us Cape Town Media today to find out how we can develop your mobile strategy to further the reach of your company.
