Services - Overview
Arrow Webservices UK provides the following services:
With experience in a number of web and software languages and related technologies, Arrow Webservices can provide the above at a competitive cost. In all cases, the industry standards are complied with and where supported the latest technologies are used. This ensures that your solution will be long-lasting and scaleable.
Consultancy
Your current circumstances will probably fall in one of three scenarios:
- You do not have a web presence and this is your first foray into the Internet.
- You already have a web presence, but you're not getting the intended results from your website, perhaps due to poor design or poor usability.
- You already have a web presence and now you wish to expand the website into a number of areas (e.g. add an online shop, set-up a marketing campaign, advertise and manage recruitment positions, etc.).
You know you need a solution, but you're not sure
where to start? We will guide you through the process,
from defining your applications objectives, to
planning, designing, building, testing and hosting
issues. Once your site/application is running it needs
to be monitored and maintained. Perhaps you need to be
trained on using the application? How can it be
improved to meet its objectives better? What marketing
and promotion techniques should you be using? We will
provide these services as part of our contract with
you.
We have years of experience in a wide range of
industries and as a result can advise you on the best
and most appropriate applications and systems
solutions for your business.
Do you need a more hands-on approach? We can play a
more active role in your business by being the
technical head (or technical division) that your
business needs. This gives you the ability to tap into
our resources and use only what is necessary and
specific to your business.
Website Design and Development
Whether you are designing a new site or improving on
an existing site, Arrow Webservices has the resources
to successfully plan, develop, implement and manage
your online web presence.
Your Internet application should react quickly, convey
the intended message clearly and precisely and be easy
to use and easily accessible. Arrow Webservices
designs and develops websites with these fundamental
principles in mind.
Websites are thoroughly tested on a number of popular
browsers and operating systems before going live, so
you can rest-assured that your website will display
the same way on your customers' computer screens as on
yours.
Content Management Systems
There are a number of advantages to implementing a Content Management System (CMS):
- Flexibility - make changes any time you want.
- Speed - changes are live immediately.
- Precision - changes are carried out to the letter, eliminating the risk of interpretation errors.
- Job sharing - delegate changes and different people carry out multiple tasks simultaneously.
- Simple - no need for any specialised knowledge or skills (such as HTML).
- Version Control - control what content is live today, and know what was live yesterday.
- Reduced risk of litigation and adverse customer reactions - all the latest information is available online and you can check back to see which version was on the site on a particular day.
Although a CMS has some huge advantages, there are associated costs in using this system. Arrow Webservices will advise as to whether a CMS will be beneficial to your business or whether manual updating of files makes more economical sense.
Search Engine Optimisation (SEO)
Search engines are your customers' preferred tools for
finding your product or service. Research
shows that consumers are 5 times more likely to
purchase your products (or services) when coming to
your site through a search engine listing rather than
a banner advertisement.
Unfortunately, simply being listed with the search
engines is not enough to guarantee potential customers
will come to your site. If people have not found what
they want on the first or second page of a search
result query, they will generally type in a new search
phrase. Consequently, competition to be near the top
of the search results is fierce.
Arrow Webservices will ensure that your site ranks
high in the search engine listings for your target
market. However, search engine rankings are not the
only way to bring potential and existing customers to
your site. Other techniques, although possibly not as
effective, do bring customers to your site. We will
help you develop your Internet related marketing
campaign so that it reaches the target audience and
generates interest in your site and ultimately meets
the objectives of your website.
Online Shops (e-Commerce)
Starting an e-business may seem daunting, but if you
make the right decisions in your design and set-up,
you'll certainly improve your chances for success. One
of the most popular Internet myths claims that
building an online store is easy: All the customer has
to do is point, click, and buy! But in reality,
successful e-commerce is far more complex.
That's where Arrow Webservices comes in. Arrow
Webservices will show you how to generate a realistic
e-business plan; create a site design that caters to
your online customers; deal with things like credit
cards, tax, shipping, and security; decide whether you
should build, buy, or rent an e-commerce solution to
manage your site's transactions; and manage existing
customers details and attract them (for repurchase)
and new customers by refining your marketing programs.
Arrow Webservices will write bespoke e-commerce
solutions or adapt "off the shelf" systems
as required. Under both circumstances we will ensure
that both your online shop and the data it stores is
secure. Part and parcel of the online shop is a system
allowing you to manage products (such as prices,
descriptions, etc.) and process credit card
transactions.
