Services
We help clients to visualise their ideas and then take them through the steps necessary to realise a digital project. Working flexibly as a small team means we’re able to provide excellent development services affordably. We work over the long or short term for individuals, companies and agencies.
Projects in all shapes and sizes
No matter what your project is, whether it’s a standard static brochure site or a ridiculously complex multimedia dynamic web application we are always ready to accommodate you. Our list of contacts and freelancers allows Second Variety to choose the best available people for a project of any size and because we only expand as needed you will always pay very close to freelance rates.
Upgrades, maintenance and re-designs of existing sites
Got a problem with your current site? Thinking of upgrading to a content management system? Perhaps you just want to explore options for expanding your already existing website but are not sure where to start. We can provide web update services for minor changes to existing websitess and if required we can also bring designs, architecture and standards based valid web design to your existing sites and projects.
Advice and consulting on SEO, Marketing and Advertising
No nonsense advice on the specifics of advertising, online marketing and optimisation. While other companies like to tell you the importance of these activities we prefer to demonstrate how easy it is to ensure clients have complete control of this from the beginning of a project. The key is to make sure that whatever system is used we plan ahead to ensure clean integration of software technologies and business models and strategy.
Open Source, open for business and always open minded
We’re a web company that doesn’t believe in messing around re-inventing the wheel. We like to use open source frameworks to build our websites such as Wordpress or MySourceMatrix. We use the Zend Framework to extend or create functionality from scratch for PHP based projects and we’re open to using any open source software in the creation of applications and websites because we believe supporting those software communities provides our clients with better software choices and long term support. We also don’t like to tie in our clients or waste their time and money and believe that supporting open source software developers helps us to help our clients.
