Website design and development

123live - the people I use for my website

I can honestly say that 123live's content management facilities are the most powerful and easiest to use that I have ever come across (that's why I use them for my own site).  In minutes I can add new pages and images, looking just as I want them. Change the navigation? No problem. They also have a marvellous way of charging for their services, which means very little up-front costs.

I have no qualms giving them my strongest personal recommendation.

 

Visit their website for a mini video that explains it all www.123live.co.uk

Website designer 6site is another versy cost effective team that will develop your site and then provide a powerful content management system that makes it dead easy to update and to optimise.

 

Digital Egg is based in Birmingham but has UK-wide reach. Great guys to get on with and very flexible. Contact them at www.digitalegg.net

 

 

1minus1 is another website design agency with a cracking pedigree. Visit their website to see for yourself: www.1minus1.com

 

Another approach is to use the Website Developer Directory www.web-design-directory-uk.co.uk
