Web design, Ecommerce and Branding

Just as the web moves away from being a collection of brochureware sites to the preferred tool for information and research, web design must change with it. From our web site design studio, based in Hertfordshire, we aim to support your message and drive traffic to your site through our solid SEO design principles.

Does your site need to be restructured, or would it benefit from a re-design to maximise your return on the assets you already have? We work closely with our clients creating practical plans to provide cost effective changes. Invariably the redesign is accompanied by significantly increased traffic as we apply strong SEO fundamentals to our designs

We offer various ecommerce solutions depending upon your requirement:

• Magento is a feature-rich, professional open-source eCommerce solution that offers merchants complete flexibility and control over the look, content, and functionality of their online store.

Designed to be completely scalable and backed by an extensive support network, Magento offers companies the ultimate eCommerce solution.

Branding is paramount on the web. Having the right aesthetics will speak volumes about your service, your target market and the integrity of your proposition.

Usability and traffic monitoring

On the web, usability is a necessary condition for survival. If a website is difficult to use, people leave. If the homepage fails to clearly state what a company offers and what users can do on the site, people leave.

If users get lost on a website, they leave. If a website's information is hard to read or doesn't answer users' key questions, they leave. Note a pattern here?

Tektra understands that you want your website to work hard for you.. You want it to be clear, well designed and effective. You want it to be focused on your users. You want it to bring results.
