ZimWeb can provide you with a professional website which has the functionality that can put you in control of your website. Most website companies will sell you a website where they will charge you for any changes that you want to make to the content of your website. At ZimWeb we will build you a website on top of a versatile Content Management System that will allow you to change the content of your website in an easy-to-use WYSIWYG editor. This leaves you to change the information on your website and leaves us to create even more great features for you to use.

ZimWeb recommends using our Sitefinity Content Management System(CMS). What we do is firstly come up with a design for your pages, this is a standard look and feel that will fit in with your existing corporate branding or, if you would prefer, our designer would be more than happy to help you to create a new look.

Secondly once the website has been approved we will create your website in the Content Management System and give you access to add the content to your website yourself, with some guidance and training from us of course.

Then further to that if you have anymore specific needs we can happily create components for your CMS, anything possible with current technology. An example would be that you want a Photo Gallery section of you site where you can organise and upload photos but you don't want to have to keep creating pages to do this, we could create a component to handle this for you and instead give you an easy to use interface to maintain this.

Additionally the Events Module introduces a new specific panel for working with geo-mapping settings. The module provides an ability to display maps of event's location from three leading map services: Google Maps; Yahoo! Maps; Live Maps.

For businesses that want something that is fully tailored because the Content Management System(CMS) might not meet all your needs, ZimWeb will gladly work with you to create whatever you want. Although this is a more expensive option, it is by far the best way to ensure that you get exactly what you want without having to worry about the coding behind it.

We will build a website from scratch with ASP.Net, Javascript and a SQL Server 2005 Database back-end. We believe that it is the most secure and efficient combination of website technologies available today.

The advantages of going with this system are:

• Database reuse, data from your website database can be shared with other applications
• Robust, efficient and scalable applications
• Easily updateable with new versions or bug fixes
• Enhancements are exactly what you want thus reducing the amount of training needed.
• Programming interfaces can be created so your partners can interface with your information

Generally clients who require a customised website are those who need E-Commerce functionality such as shopping carts or other special customized featured not provided within the CMS. In instances where a client wishes for a customised site we will need to spend more time with you to fully understand what you require in order to be able to effectively quote.

ZimWeb understands and believes the design (overall look and feel) of your website is extremely important to the success of your website because if it isn't appealing to the customer they will go somewhere else. Our design team is ready and willing to work with you to achieve the outcome that you desire.
Most of our clients rely on us to provide the graphic design for their website and we haven't had a customer to date that hasn't been happy with the results.

For existing businesses, we can work with existing logos and corporate branding and can consult with your existing design team if necessary. For new businesses we can assist with developing a logo and overall corporate branding if desired or we are happy to work with your external designers.

Once you have decided to proceed with a website with ZimWeb, the design is one of the first things we will discuss with you.

Electronic Commerce, or E-Commerce as it is known, relates to commerce (or business activities) being carried out electronically; therefore including transactions carried out on the internet such as the buying and selling of products and services online.

ZimWeb can assist in establishing E-Commerce functionality that will allow your business to trade 24 hours a day! This would generally mean adding a shopping cart facility to your website. Features that this can include are product catalogues, product search, online ordering systems, secure online payments and email notifications.

The internet is global and if you wish to grow your business you may require a website in a foreign language. ZimWeb is able to create websites with full functionality in a foreign language.In addition to having several bi-lingual team members, we can work with accredited translators and interpretors to create you a website in a foreign language.

The Content Management System that we primarily work with, Sitefinity, has the capability for all content that is entered to be entered in multiple languages while still being the same "page" allowing content editors to easily add all the different languages without having to create new pages each time.
