There are literally hundreds of tools and systems out there to create your own web design, and while many of them do a reasonable job, nothing beats a fully customised website that suits your requirements and matches your companies branding.
Edit your own website
We believe that you should be able to edit your website yourself and not come back to us every time you need to make a change, which means that you can save time and money and is why all all our websites are now built on WordPress.
WordPress in an Open Source Content Management System that allows you to easily add, edit and delete pages, text and graphics on your website as and when you need to. It’s one of the most popular content management systems in the world, powering over 60 million sites so the chances are you’ve probably visited a WordPress site without evening realising it. In fact this site is built on WordPress.
To see our demo wordpress site in action go to wordpress.rocksoliddesigns.co.uk and follow the login instructions there to edit the page yourself.
Responsive web design
Responsive web design is a bit of an internet buzzword at the moment, and we now design all our websites to be fully responsive. What this means is that whether you are looking at your site on a desktop, mobile phone or tablet the site resizes and adjusts it’s layout to fit the screen that it’s being viewed on, without having to have a completely different site for mobile devices. This means that you only have one website with just one address for everyone.
To see this in action, try resizing this window or have a look at this site on your mobile phone, you see that it looks different and you even get a different way of navigating.
Webfonts
Following our policy of constantly embracing new technologies and following the latest web design trends, our websites are now available with Adobe Typekit fonts. This means that your no longer stuck with the standard web fonts of the old days, and can select fonts for your website from a huge range of professional font foundries.
Expandability
All our websites are modular which means you can start with a simple brochure website and as your needs grow we can easily add more features to your website as your business grows. Of course if you need these extras from the start we can easily build them in for you.
Some of the additional modules we can include are:
- Booking Systems
- Forums
- Online Store
- Social Networking
- Custom Databases

Easy editability
WordPress is managed from an easy to understand user interface accessed from your web browser, just login through your website and start editing your pages wherever you have an internet connection.
WordPress now even has dedicated ios apps so that you can edit your website easily on the move from your iphone or ipad. These apps are free to download, and we’ll even help set them up for you.
