Phuture produces original and usable web design layouts that refresh and energise your online presence, enabling your visitors to engage with your ideas, information and services. Our web portfolio speaks for itself.

Phuture Print provides high quality designs for print in your chosen export format and resolution. An example of our print work is the poster for the film "An Education" used at the Producer's Guild Awards at the Hollywood Palladium in Los Angeles.

UX (User Experience) design is essential to our projects. Using UCD (User Centric Design) tools such as Wireframes and Site Map Architecture we incorporate techniques that take into account typical human responses to interfaces in order to create a user-friendly website. The result of this are intuitive menus and navigation that make online transactions easy and fulfilling. For you, the client, this translates into a positive brand experience and increased profitability.

Phuture believes that all of our websites should be fully accessible and usable to all visitors regardless of who they are or what they are using to access the Internet. For more information on how we use the latest technologies to promote accessibility of our services please visit the accessibility page.

Phuture can provide you with the complementary service of copywriting for your web projects.

Copywriting for the Web is the art of creating meaning through words. We will help you to create a clear, powerful and compelling message from within your website content. The principles of writing concise and simple but yet engaging copy are applied to our copywriting.

In addition we can provide bespoke multi-lingual websites where required, subject to translated copy being available. An example of this is the bi-lingual Turkish/English website for Elchyn Catering based in Istanbul, Turkey.

"We need to update our site, in our own time, without expert IT knowledge..."

We understand that you may need to be able to update your website without contacting us to update the content. We'll help you select a Content Management System (CMS) that is easy to use, scalable and saves your business money.

With a CMS in place you will be able to login to a secure area and update the text, photos and products for your website in your own time without needing specialist web design skills.

Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is an essential part of the web project. Using hand-coded and ethical optimisation techniques we ensure all of our websites produced maximize SEO effectiveness.

An SEO friendly design plays a large role in increasing page rankings on the major search engines such as Google, Bing & Yahoo, leading to your site being positioned above the competition.

In addition our Web Analytics Reporting works in tandem with the SEO to report back behaviour and statistics of your website's visitors.

Social Networking is an everyday part of the Internet. Websites such as Facebook, MySpace and Twitter allow users to share information and content in a ubiquitous fashion across the web.

Phuture provides social networking development for your online presence. We can embed feeds from your networking portal into your website and vice versa via use of RSS feeds and JSON embedding. This allows your information to be kept fresh in real time across web portals and even allows you to update your website from your mobile device.

Email campaigns are an essential part of your digital marketing strategy, they allow you to keep in touch with your clients and attract new ones.

We design easily editable HTML emails that work across the range of email clients whilst still presenting a professional image.

So that we can deliver your project on time, within budget and to the highest quality, we employ the PRINCE2 project management methodology - a generic, flexible system that will provide structure for the organisation, management and control of your project.

Phuture's Project Managers are PRINCE2 qualified practioners and remain dedicated to ensuring that your project goals are met. We follow a 5 stage tailored version of PRINCE2 for all of our digital media projects.

• Stage 1 - Analyse
  The first stage is to analyse the client's needs and together define the business goals of the project.
• Stage 2 - Design
  The second stage is to produce innovative but accessible design layouts for the website and agree with you which is best suited to the project in hand.
• Stage 3 - Develop
  The third stage is to develop the website using the latest web technologies available to ensure an engaging, robust and fully functional web application.
• Stage 4 - Test
  The fourth stage is to cross-browser and multi platform test the website to ensure the final products looks, feels and works to the same high standard regardless of the end user agent.
• Stage 5 - Deploy
  The final stage is to deploy the live website onto our web servers so that the website is ready to promote and improve your online business and identity.

Our use of PRINCE2 supports our commitment to quality, as outlined in our Quality Management Policy.
