Our Services

Crackle Specialise in creating websites and digital media; however we are just as at home working on branding & print design or application development. Here is a summary of our main services.

Website Design

The bread and butter for us, whether it's a brochure site, flash gallery, or full E-Commerce shop. We love new challenges and directions, and enjoy creating highly engaging sites for our clients. We use the latest industry standards and development techniques, and ensure our sites stand up to accessibility guidelines and perform cross browser; most of all we always ensure our sites are intuitive and easy to use.

Content Management Systems (CMS)

As with all our web solutions we have developed our comprehensive CMS in-house, as we feel this gives us a lot more control, and more powerful tool-sets when developing our clients' projects. The interface is simple to use and intuitive, and can be tailored to fit the exact needs of our clients, rather than trying to fit these into an existing product.

E-Commerce

Our E-Commerce system enables you to easily and simply sell your products online, and because we use our own in-house system we can tailor this to your exact requirements. The Admin Area used to maintain your site includes a complete E-Commerce management system to maintain your product catalogue, process orders, track payments, store customer details, manage stock control, and even includes a mailing application and packing order and invoice generation.

Branding & Print Design

Often the starting point for most of our projects, we love getting involved from the ground up, and have the creativity and experience to create stunning branding and print work, and carry this through to the digital realm. All our creative team have experience working in more traditional graphic design, and we're just as at home designing a 30 page brochure as we are making things jump about on screen. Our chief Graphic Designer has over 17 years experience working for award winning Blue Chip agencies.

Web Marketing, SEO, Analytics

We can help you get the best ROI from your marketing budget, by managing a SEO campaign for your website. We use the latest, safe, SEO techniques to get valued traffic into your website. We also provide you with detailed reports so that you can see regular progress.

Our SEO tracking is not limited to search engines, but will also tell you if people have come from links on 3rd party sites. Information includes: the site they came from (including a search term if it is a search engine), the page they first viewed, the length of time they stayed on the site, and if the visit ended up in a sale.

Application Development

There are many software systems, web applications, and web tools available on the market today, but sometimes you can't find a system that will do exactly what you require. We can develop custom applications to your specification, giving you the functionality you need to do the job, and the flexibility to expand your application should your requirements change in the future. We currently have our own fully customisable CRM and Helpdesk applications.

Flash Animation & Development

Play time for us really. There's nothing we like more than applying a little movement and interactivity to a site or application, however, we only ever use it when it genuinely improves the user experience, and never for the sake of it. Flash where it's not required can look tacky and unnecessary, but applied carefully can bring things to life.

Illustration

We're all pretty arty here, and any chance we get we like drawing things and then using our experience of computer aided illustration to create something exciting. We're not all about stock library images and blocks of colour... we like to mix it up a bit, and give our work some personality, even if it takes us longer to get the finished result.
