Web Design

The start of every successful website design starts with a blank canvas...
We don’t believe in using templates or automated software to produce our website designs. Our work is custom crafted from the design, to programming to the completion and going live stages of the web design process. We believe all our websites need to function correctly, look bespoke to the client industry / product and attract new and repeat visitors on a regular basis by performing in the major search engines.

Search Engine Marketing

Dual Media has worked with various clients over the years helping to achieve high rankings in major search engines by implementing a wealth of knowledge and experience. We consider hundreds of factors when building a website to perform in a search engine environment. It starts with the initial build and continues as long as the website is up and running. Not many can offer actual proof of achievements with search engine marketing, but we can, view our search engine marketing page for more information.

Company Background
Dual Media are an all round media production team offering our clients a wide range of professional services including web design, search engine optimisation, e-commerce solutions, corporate identity and print work. We are situated in St Anne’s, Lancashire which is just outside of Blackpool in the North West of England, UK.

Dual Media has been trading since 2004 and we have an extensive list of clients who have purchased our professional services over the years with most still coming back for regular updates and alternative web projects. Dual Media was founded by Andrew Brown, James Wilson and Richard Richmond when setting out to develop what we considered to be one of the strongest and most multitalented web design and professional media company in the North West. Over time our work has attracted work from all areas of the UK and abroad as far as Africa and the USA.

The Website Design Process
We usually start by talking to the client and extract important information such as expected requirements and goals from their new project whether it is web design, flash animation or print work. We want to know what makes you tick, but more importantly, what makes your target audience tick. After doing some market research and taking in what your competitors are doing we usually start the design process. Sometimes we like the traditional pencil and paper but usually we have a good idea of where we want to go and start web designing on screen. Once we have our concept design we upload it for your approval. After tweaking and amending we sign the concept web design off and start getting technical.

We have a large tick sheet we like to satisfy when producing our media. Having an attractive design is a must, but its only part of the battle. From here we also have to consider how your website will function, will it be navigated easily enough, how will it perform in a search engine, how will we continue to promote the website in the future and many more areas are considered.

Website Development
We develop most of our websites based on html, and asp .net programming languages. Along the way we often use other website technologies available to us such as JavaScript, CSS Style Sheets and Adobe Flash animations and applications to enhance the viewers experience on your website. A website does not necessarily mean just static text and images. It can also mean useful applications, means of contact, animation, applications, games and so much more.

We work hand in hand with our clients and seek approval every step of the way. This ensures that our client is getting the website they need and understand. This is essential if the website content and products are to be client managed. We produce bespoke client management systems in our updatable websites for our clients. This can give the client full control over their website content, images, products, prices and anything else required.

It’s all good us having a flashy website but with no actual proof of our success we can imagine it’s a bit of a gamble for who you decide to use for your next media venture. So have a look at our testimonials and see what some of our clients have to say about Dual Media.
