Web Development

Your website needs to create the same professional image as the rest of your business. It needs to leave the same impression with a website visitor as you would like to leave with someone you met face to face.

Horisk specialise in web development for organisations large and small, from simple ‘shop-windows’ web sites and company brochures to complex content and feature-rich sites. We develop Content Management Systems from scratch or modify and configure existing open-source CMSs, such as Joomla, FarCry or Wordpress to suit diverse customer requirements.

We use a range of web development technologies, selecting the most appropriate for each project. These include Coldfusion, PHP, Oracle, MySQL, SQLServer, Javascript and AJAX.

Horisk are based in Edinburgh and Fife, Scotland.

 

Functionality

Functionality

Horisk will analyse the best structure and design approach to present your business effectively. We believe in developing web sites with a clear structure and purpose - we won't add features 'just because we can'.  We will discuss the type of visitors you expect and what they will want to get from your website and then advise on how to build it to give your customers what they want.

Website Design

In our sites, web design follows function, but that doesn't mean they won't look great.  We produce stylish websites, well designed both graphically and technically for maximum effectiveness.

We can design a website to fit in with your existing corporate identity, or work with our designers to produce a full online and offline identity for you.

Horisk work with a number of talented graphic designers, although we are happy to work with your preferred design company.

Search Engine Optimisation

Search Engine Optimisation

Optimising your site for search engines is increasingly important. Search engine optimisation covers many issues, from choosing your domain name, site structure, copywriting, link strategies, so should be thought about at the start of the development process. We can advise on all the above aspects, as well as devising and monitoring pay-per-click ad campaigns for your website.

Accessibility

Accessibility

The accessibility of your website to all users, whether they have visual or motor-skill impairments or are just viewing your site on mobile device, is becoming increasingly important. Horisk are familiar with the requirements of the Disability Discrimination Act (DDA) , the W3C Web Content Accessibility Guidelines and PAS78.
Development techniques for accessible websites include site layout, non-visual markup, use of CSS and copywriting. A beneficial side-effect of improving accessibility can be improved search engine visibility.

Content Management Systems

Content Management System

Once your site is up and running you need to be able to maintain it over time. Horisk can build in many levels of content management into your site, from complex generate –> edit –> approve -> publish workflows to straight forward stock management and content editing tools.

Hosting

Hosting

We can arrange all your web and email hosting, domain name purchases, secure certificates etc. We can host your site on our own servers for full flexibility and control, or are happy to arrange the technical details with your chosen host.
