What is a Website ?
A website is a collection of Web pages, images, videos or other digital assets that is hosted on a Web server accessible through the Internet, Local Area Network (LAN) or even Mobile Phones
A Web page is a document, written in Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) which is accessible via a protocol that transfers information from the Web server to display in the user's Web browser called Hypertext Transfer Protocol ( HTTP ) All Public accessible websites are seen collectively which is called the "World Wide Web".
This is why you see

What is our Web Design Philosophy?
'A Professional should design your website '
As the Internet grows and the World Wide Web expands, more professionals are needed to design, develop, and maintain web sites like Arakhne Web Design. Let us put our Professional knowledge into place and take all the hard work away from you! There are many WYSIWYG ( What You See Is What You Get) Free software programs out there for you to download and create your very own website. They all promise great things BUT to date, Arakhne Web Designs has had to rescue many of these ' Do It Yourself Website Designers '' because basically the programs are not that easy to use in the end and when one needs to add dynamic content such as a feedback form, e-commerce buttons, a DHTML navigation bar,flash elements - then things turn ' pear shaped ' for the beginner ( or sometines these programs do not allow for such content )
These programs simply do not stand up to the more rigorous complicated web tasks that are demanded in today's website designs. It was OK 5 to 10 years ago when most websites were static ( images and text ) but web design has come a long way in a short space of time and the average user expects very high standards of websites in their structure and design.
The client's are usually very frustrated at waisting their valuable time in trying to set up their very own website (even slightly embarrassed too) and in a final desperate act, as a deadline looms or has loomed - flyers have gone out , brochures have been printed with a promise of a website to show their products/services, they grab their phone book or local newspaper ad where I eventually become their web rescuer to try and elivate their situation.
If you do not keep up with these web standards then there is more of a chance that the end use will simply switch off. That is why, we recommend at Arakhne Web Design, that you leave it up us, the experts. , we after all have all the software and expertise and years of experience that is required to produce great looking - highly functional websites that are demanded today.
If you need expert HELP with an existing website or Website Resuscitation: Email or Tel Joanne on 08 95736684 to get a Quote to fix it up!!.
