A Simple Update or Major Reconstruction?
If information on your site is still current, older-style sites may often only need a simple facelift or back end reconstruction. This might include the insertion of new images, updated graphics or a modern colour scheme or the integration of the old into a newly developed framework (back end).
Your business may have started out small but has since expanded and evolved and now with a wider range of products or more services. You need to regularly revisit your website which may not be displaying your business to its fullest potential. In this case, a major website re-construction may be the best way to bring your online presence back up to date and keep it there.
The Extras that Count
Another thing that makes us special is the extra services we add to every website we create. The best part of this is that we don’t charge you extra, as we believe these essential elements should be part and parcel of our service.
- Spam proof email addresses
- Spam proof contact forms
- Complimentary customised privacy policy for every site with a contact form
- Complimentary resources page with every website subscribing to our Search Engine Marketing packages
- Our time and attention – whatever it takes to understand your business strategy and target audience. This helps us professionally write your site to attract the right kind of customer.
- Our service doesn’t stop once your website is complete. We want clients for life!
Website Design Philosophy…
Being the perfectionists that we are, we don’t just design and develop websites, we do it properly. All our sites have or are:
- Fully standards-compliant, validating xHTML and CSS code;
- Quick-loading, light and fast graphics systems;
- Fully mobile responsive in all cases (looks good on mobiles & tablets);
- Use of Flash only where appropriate;
- Text based navigation usually with backup navigation as well;
- Sitemaps on large sites;
- Use of AJAX technology where appropriate (content on the page refreshing without the page reloading).

Editable Websites
Take control over your website – request that it be editable! We have a range of different solutions that will allow you to update or maintain your web content whenever you feel like it.
Simple Editable Pages
If you want to be able to regularly update or edit just one or two pages of your website (for example specials, news or pricing pages), Aykira can convert the page so it is editable via a web-based administration area.
You will be able to login from anywhere and use your browser to update your website content with no more skill than it takes to use Microsoft Word. The system even allows you to upload and manage images and other file formats such as PDFs.
Content Management Systems (CMS)
Want even more control over your website content? Do you need to:
- Maintain an image gallery;
- Update news;
- Allow your users to log in securely;
- Implement an online quoting system;
- Send automatic emails to your registered users;
- Upload files for your users to download;
- Update content on many pages regularly;
Aykira’s team can provide internet and web-based content management system solutions that individually suit your business or application.
We often utilise WordPress as the CMS (Content Management System) – it’s easy to use, a world standard (16+ million websites worldwide), secure and yet very powerful. With WordPress we have a lot of experience creating all sorts of websites for many different businesses, we even write our own extensions to WordPress, we are that good. Our clients often find WordPress a welcome relief in managing their website compared to other CMS’s available – if you can write in Microsoft Word, you can use WordPress, it’s that easy.
We can provide Website design & web development services across Sydney, although we are local to the Hills, Dural, Pennant Hills, Castle Hill, Hornsby, Norwest and Sydney CBD; we will provide you with an expert and personal level of service.
Our website development service starts from as little as $5,000+GST
