We specialise in PHP, MySQL and Apache development. We build new sites with PHP/MySQL, delivering dynamic content and e-commerce solutions. We often get involved with existing projects, to complete them or to build new features.

We subscribe to the belief that 'anything is possible', if you've thought of a web application — we can build it. Our sites load quickly, are standards-compliant and accessible, ensuring they work across the broad range of internet devices.

We've also earnt a reputation for being able to work with other programmers' code, which makes us the ideal choice if you need somebody to help finish your existing project.

The Bent Art Gallery had specific design requirements, we helped them turn their visuals into online galleries, all driven by a user-searchable database which they can update themselves, allowing people to purchase online.

A content management system (CMS) is a tool that allows you to instantly update your own website. You can add new products, change prices, create new product categories or change the contents of your homepage. Our CMSs place control of your website in your hands, using a simple and intuitive interface that has been tailored to your exact requirements.

Ian King travels extensively to obtain his high-quality images of galaxies and nebulae. When he launched his own website specialising in astro-photography equipment it was essential that he retained control of the site wherever he was in the world. Our CMS technology enables him to add new images to his site as soon as he's taken them, as well as giving him complete control of his products, categories, articles and homepage.

We don't guarantee top search engine positions — and we're suspicious of anybody who does. We do offer professional search engine consultancy. We're honest about what can and can't be achieved, we're open about our methods, and we get results.

We help make your pages as search engine readable as possible, by optimising page content, structure, meta tags, titles, alt tags, framesets and navigation. For every element on your page there is an optimal approach.

Once your site is ready we help you submit it to the essential web directories and search engines. We ensure you're in the places you need to be before you're noticed by the large search engines.

Then we can help improve your listing day-by-day. We can analyse searches for your chosen keywords and find the most valuable sites on the internet for links to your site. Our experience tells when it comes to maximising the return on your web marketing investment.

Additionally we can advise on pay-per-click solutions such as Google AdWords or Overture. We can help evaluate your log files to ensure we are answering the right kind of questions. And we can keep an eye on your sites to make sure they're continuing to head in the right direction.

So while we don't offer a magical solution, we do know our stuff. If you'd like to discuss the possibilities for your website, call Andy Savage on 07940 267 033, or e-mail andy@savagescape.com.
