Welcome to VV Web Solutions

Here you'll find details of an innovative web design company who will build
your website to SELL your product or service, not just sit there on the web
looking pretty.

How?

Along with a clean, modern design we'll ensure that your content appeals
and is easy to navigate to hold the customer's interest.

Our sites are well written and laid out to maximise conversion rates. We
constantly monitor internet marketing best practices, analyse our hosted site
traffic patterns in great detail, and apply recommendations made by the market
leaders to ensure that your customer's journey is a positive experience which
will ultimately lead them to make an enquiry or purchase.

Search Engine Optimisation

A constantly-evolving craft and one that can easily make or break a website.

Done well your site will naturally sit high in the search engines for words and phrases
applicable to your business, market and location ("organic placement"). There will be no need for expensive
pay-per-click advertising campaigns or sponsored listings, and your site will be very human-friendly too.

Done badly your site might not even appear in the search engines, particularly if you employ 'black hat' techniques to try to
fool them into giving you an unnaturally high ranking.

Here at VV we are really good at optimising sites for long-term high search results placement. We take note of all the rules and recommendations laid down by the market leading search engines and we review all of our sites every quarter, making recommendations which we feel will help improve your rankings.

Qualified Professionals

VV is headed up by Martin Harris, a 25-year veteran of UK and Global corporate IT development and marketing. Having also owned a mobile disco entertainment business for some 30 years, we are very well placed to develop brochure websites that SELL.

Martin is also a qualified PRINCE2 practitioner meaning that we can competently manage projects of all shapes, sizes and durations whilst delivering a high level of customer communication and satisfaction.

VV offers FREE no-obligation website appraisals.

Managed Service Package

Most of our clients want to spend their time running their business, not
fiddling around with their website. They appreciate the value add that a
professional web designer can bring to their company, and because of this
our Managed Service package came about.

Pay Monthly

Our Managed Service package can also help new businesses avoid the capital
costs associated with building their website. As a pay monthly plan, we
are happy to roll the development costs into the initial lease allowing
you to effectively fund your new site over 12, 18 or 24 months, depending
on the value of the contract.

VV will retain copyright in the original works until the end of the initial
lease period at which point we will offer to sell the copyright to you for
a minimal amount.

Full details of this package are available on request, along with illustrations
and any exceptions. The majority of our Managed Service clients pay between
£25 and £50 per month initially. After the minimum lease period
is up, the ongoing service typically costs between £10 and £20 per
month, depending on the level of service required.

What's Included?

The VV Web Solutions Managed Service package includes:

Your website design and build
Hosting on our server with a minimum 99.9% uptime guarantee
Use of a .co.uk or .com domain name
Domain-based email account eg. info@mydomain.com
Regular backups including off-site
Google Analytics recording, monitoring and interpretation
Quarterly site performance report and improvement suggestions
An annual allowance for tweaks and updates, usually 2 hours
First line technical support on all of the above

And all for a simple, fixed monthly fee.

All plans are tailored for the individual client and can include many "extras"
for example use of multiple domains, webmail, more regular or in-depth
reporting, CMS, Blogs and so on.

Existing domains can be transferred into this package for a small one-off fee.

Thoughtful Web Design by VV

Here at VV Web Solutions our speciality is building cost-effective yet highly performant, great-looking websites that will give you
an excellent return on your investment.

Methodology

Give us as much or as little guidance as you wish and we'll work with you to agree
the format, content skeleton and provide a mock-up of the proposed site before
we ask you to commit a penny. Of course, we'll give you a ballpark figure based on
your initial requirements, but speak to any of our former customers and we're 100%
confident they'll all tell you that they are more than happy with the product.

We even offer you two ways of paying for your site - outright purchase or our very
popular Managed Service option, often likened to a "Pay As You Go" scheme as it
allows you to offset the development costs over 12, 18 or 24 months. Click on the
Managed Service bar to the left to learn more.

Standards Based

All VV produced websites are hand coded using standard languages and protocols.
Our work is fully documented giving you the ultimate in future portability. The
majority of sites are produced using HTML, CSS, JavaScript and PHP all of which
will work on virtually all hosting platforms and are easily understood by any
competent web designer.

Our latest project is detailed below. See our Portfolio for more examples.

Copy Writing & Proofing

When someone visits your website, it may be the first impression they have of you or your organization. Unfortunately, if your
site's copy writing is poor, it could be their only impression.

Hit The Target First Time Every Time

Many organizations or businesses, when setting out to create a website, will spend most
of their time and money on a great design and assume it will be enough to draw people
in. What they often forget, however, is the importance of effective copy writing.

On the web, you have a very limited amount of time to grab someone's attention
because they have a virtually unlimited number of other things they could be looking at
instead. In just a few sentences, you must give them enough information to keep them interested,
but not so much that it overwhelms them.

Good copy is also critical when it comes to search engine optimization. In order to make the most of SEO,
keywords and phrases must be used strategically throughout the site's copy, especially on the home page.
This is trickier than it may seem, as keywords within copy must be handled so that it doesn't spoil the
site's message. Using all of the most-searched keywords is useless if the content doesn't convince your
visitor to buy your product or service.

Pour Speling Grammer and Punctuation'

Spelling, punctuation and grammar errors are common mistakes, even cropping up on the websites of large companies.

How can a customer expect a quality product or service from a company that can't manage to produce a decent website?
