51 degreesNorthWeb design
Our web design process is an interactive one. First we listen to our customers and advise them how we believe their best interests will be served, then we produce an initial skeleton of the website. We upload this to a non-public web space where the client can literally watch it grow. We encourage feedback and make changes if required. The results of this collaboration are websites that fulfil their purposes and give their owners a true sense of involvement.
We emphasize function in design without losing sight of the importance of ingenuity and fun. Here at 51ºN we pride ourselves in being able to create great solutions. Our process starts with you, and can be as complete as a full design, (for websites including coding, hosting, and maintenance of your site), all the way down to a logo.
We specialise in HTML and CSS using the latest web standards to ensure cross browser compliance, search engine friendly, usable and accessible websites are of the highest quality.
Our prices are very competitive, and are dependent on the task at hand. Send us your requirements to us and receive a quote today!

www.legendspublishing.net Legends Publishing is a small publishing company, producing books for the football nostalgia market. They were fed up with having to pay such a large percentage to other web sites like Amazon. Also once someone had their book located at Amazon they then saw that they'd have to wait over 2 weeks for delivery. Now people can buy the books direct. The money saved by Legends has allowed them to offer additional material on the site, encouraging users to come back for extras.
www.childrensvoice.org.uk This website is colourful, fun and informative. It features interactive games, views and reviews produced by members of the Children's Voice group - a local forum for five to 13-year-olds. This site was built with the active involvement of a number of children from around Hammersmith & Fulham. During the early stages of development it was clear that the children wanted some games to be included. This is where 51ºN's experience really paid off. Working with the children we devised 4 games that would be appropriate for the site.
