Website Development
Here at Ecce Media we pride ourselves in providing online solutions that exceed our clients expectations. Our company ethos is ‘We understand the complex and make it simple’. Whether it is a bespoke website application that processes photographs for printing, managing multiple client payment schedules for a $40 million turnover Christmas club company, or a simple content managed website (CMS), we thrive on hearing “I don’t know how, but I would like to be able to…….”. Each project, no matter how large or small, is assigned to a Project Manager, who is the point of contact throughout the lifetime of the scheme.
Website Design
Over 9 years of experience has enabled us to understand the psychology of surfing the internet. Having a great looking website doesn’t automatically guarantee online success. Our graphic designers can turn your ‘doodles’ and website brief into a complete design concept which is then, in turn, translated into a fully working website. We use a multitude of disciplines including Flash, CSS & HTML.
eCommerce
Ecce Media specialise in ecommerce website design and ecommerce development. We have built a standards based eCommerce website engine that not only runs your website but facilitates the running of an online business. It has an intuitive interface and is easy to use, with each page being built to enhance search engine visibility.
The system handles everything from inventory and stock control, sales order processing and purchasing, to customer services and despatch notes. Our websites integrate with a number of well known third party software packages and services including Sage, RMS (Point of Sale), UPS & Parcel-force. The system works with all standard payment gateways including Pay Point, World Pay, Secure Trading, Paypal and Google Checkout.
Content management system (CMS)
Owning and operating an online business is difficult enough without having to learn to programme HTML, which is why Ecce Media provides a simple easy to learn and use CMS system with all our websites. Once the website has been built who better to keep it updated with all industry business specific information than yourself. CMS training is provided with all CMS systems.
Website & Email Hosting
Ecce Media offers shared, virtual, dedicated and collated low population Windows & Linux OS based servers. These servers are monitored and maintained 24/7. Some of our larger ecommerce clients maintain dual webs servers, a live server and a parallel test-bed server accessing the live data. This will allow for live environment testing without encroaching on day to day live web site operations. Email hosting is offered with 24/7 web access along with POP3 & Exchange accessibility.
24/7 data backups
All our clients website data and information is fully encrypted, stored in two separate locations. This is backed up every 24 hours to ensure that minimum disruption to business should any disasters occur. Ecce Media is a ISO 9001:2000 certified company specialising in data security and management.
eMarketing
Email marketing
Ecce Media has developed a suite of tools that facilitates reliable rapid delivery of email marketing and communications and has done so since 2003. Client lists will be maintained with “unsubscribed” and bounces automatically deactivated ahead of any subsequent campaigns. Full reporting is provided in real time. From 10 to 200,000 recipients email marketing is a viable and cost effective alternative to traditional marketing, which all business should consider.
SMS marketing
In the 21st century, everyone has a mobile phone, and whenever a text message is received it is read immediately. With 1.4 billion SMS messages being sent in the UK alone every week (2008 figures) this is fast becoming a preferred method of communication for businesses. Ecce Media can provide two-way text messaging services globally, and depending on the region (excluding North America) branded and premium messaging. Clients that are using our services include job agencies, restaurants, marketing and car fleet management companies.
Campaign design & management
Our graphic designers can create attractive, yet spam filter compliant, HTML emails, producing any additional collateral artwork you require. All emails include a link so that it may be viewed online. The ability to “forward to a friend” is available – such information is captured with the choice for an opt-in/opt-out.
search engine visibility
SEV Report
Ecce Media can carry out an audit on your existing website. This would include structure, usability, keywords, content and inbound links to help you make the necessary changes. Theses alterations could be remedial or a complete rebuild to ensure your website is performing to its best.
Search Engine optimisation
You may have the best looking, most sophisticated website online but if no one can find it amongst the 200 billion other websites you are wasting valuable time and money. Ecce Media builds search engine friendly highly visible websites that naturally perform with the search engines. But it's not just about getting traffic to your site, you need the right traffic - customers actively looking for your products and services.
Optimised Search
To ensure the effectiveness of your site and to enable a potential customer to find what they are looking for, Ecce Media has developed, Optimised Search. This search system, built utilising advanced search technology, learns from past search activity and delivers results based on that information. Whether your site sells products or provides information, Optimised Search will return the most relevant search results. This will attract and retain customers and increase sales. Research shows, if people cannot find what they are looking for on the first page they will leave that site. Optimised Search reduces bounce rates. This system facilitates search engine visibility by recording the search criteria and creating indexable results and combined with owner/operator ongoing optimisation will rank well.
CPC (cost per click)
CPC (the sponsored links you see on search engines) should be seen as a supplementary source of traffic. Whilst Ecce Media is not quick to recommend CPC campaigns, we have the in-house experience and skills to maximise your ROI when running CPC campaigns.
digital strategy
Online Business Strategy
Websites aren't just built, they should be part of a well constructed, well thought out business and marketing strategy. Ecce Media can help right from the point of inception, carrying out market and competitor analysis to ensure the viability of investing in an online presence. Throughout the business life this strategy is revisited to ensure that the website is achieving its goals measurable by increased website traffic, increased sales and brand awareness.
Social Networking
Facebook, Myspace and Bebo are great places to find potential customers, users are quick to tell you their wants and likes and are conveniently pigeon holed for easy access. How you use this resource is key.
