Website Design

It has become vital for businesses to have a presence on the internet. With bandwidth speed increasing there is more reason to use flash player, striking company logo designs and other multimedia. An impressive website containing these features is important and something SPMK has huge experience in. Our website design team can produce superb graphics using Adobe Photoshop, create stunning flash player animations and then embed them all into a well structured web solution.

The team at SPMK have expertise in all of the leading website design software packages. Adobe Photoshop is the benchmark in graphic design and we have been using it for many years. Flash player is a plugin for web browsers which allows multimedia animations to be embedded onto your website. SPMK have successfully completed many web solutions and projects using the Flash technology and it is one of the strengths we have in website design.

Our expertise in website design goes beyond the Adobe product range. When Microsoft released the Expression product range, our team got involved instantly. We are able to create graphics in Expression Design, build websites using Expression Blend & Web, edit video using Expression Encoder and can also create advanced web solutions for Microsoft’s newest technology, Silverlight.

Leading edge design is not the only thing that makes a good website. SPMK also have knowledge in search engine optimisation gives your website exposure. Implementing web standards and creating accessible sites is also an essential part of any web solution and something SPMK have been implementing for years. Using validation techniques from W3 (a World Wide Web standard), Microsoft Visual Studio, Expression Web and Adobe Dreamweaver, we are able to create pages that are 100% valid and accessible for the visually and hearing impaired.

Multimedia & Graphics

There are many reasons to use web plug-ins such as Microsoft Silverlight and Adobe Flash Player. A survey conducted in December 2007 found that over 99% of internet enabled desktops in mature markets have Flash Player installed. A Microsoft press release stated that Microsoft Silverlight is being downloaded over 1 million times a day. However Flash Player and an alternative to Microsoft Silverlight can also be used offline to create engaging desktop applications.

Microsoft Expression can be used to create rich content solutions. The Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) can be used to create applications for smart clients. This allows us to bring rich internet technologies such as Silverlight to your desktop or mobile. SPMK has worked on several WPF projects with a number of different clients and can use that experience to create an appropriate desktop application for you or your company.

As with WPF, Flash solutions can be created for the desktop. Although they don’t have all of the functionality and features of WPF, Flash movies can have different purposes. Animated presentations, demos of software and slideshows can all be created in Flash. These can provide a very different way to create brand awareness for your company and makes use of the most powerful graphic design and multimedia software around today.
