WEB DESIGN

Content Management Systems (CMS)

Ardent Creative can produce many innovative solutions in response to your requirements. Typical applications we create for our clients include:

1. Database Integration
2. Document Management
3. E-commerce
4. Administration Areas
5. Multi-forum Communications

When designing websites, extranets or intranets which deal with a wide range of diverse and complex information, it is important from the outset to have a methodology that addresses the different variables within a project.

Web Hosting

Ardent Creative offer hosting packages that minimise any downtime and ensure fast delivery of websites and email services:

1. Windows or Unix platforms for either ASP, ASP.net or PHP
2. Our hosting partner, Rackspace, now has a zero-downtime network
3. Multiple Tier-1 bandwidth providers
4. Full backups - data management is a crucial factor so our servers perform daily incremental backups together with full weekly system backups

Ardent Creative has the experience and the knowledge required to design and construct quality internet, extranet and intranet sites. Our creative designers deal with the aesthetic design, system architecture and usability, whilst our software engineers develop bespoke software applications and put each site through a rigorous testing procedure.

Identity and Branding

With over 25 years in branding, our team will develop solutions that are invaluable for your organisation as the battle for customers intensifies. Any identity, be it corporate or that of a specific product or service, is central to the brand. It should carry with it all the key qualities and brand messages an organisation wishes itself to be seen as. The values of the brand and its key messages, which an organisation wishes to convey to its target market place, must not only be designed to work across all of this marketing collateral but also be clear, straightforward, unambiguous and concise.

At Ardent Creative we work with you on all of your internal and external communications, to provide comprehensive and effective solutions for:

1. Brand Application
2. Brand Awareness
3. Brand Building
4. Brand Loyalty

Graphic Design

A key factor in good graphic design is an accurate and focused brief, upon which our designers can then base their approach. A clear understanding of all relevant information will always result in a design solution which works most effectively for you. By its very nature, graphic design often results in a printed item but the area covered frequently requires other specialist input such as:

1. Illustration
2. Copywriting
3. Photography
4. Headlining
5. Diagrams

Graphic design is a creative but logical process which can be applied to:

1. Typography
2. Corporate identity
3. Literature
4. Advertising
5. Direct mail
6. Sales and service information
