1. Open Source Content Management System

The web design industry has changed dramatically in recent years. The vast majority of websites these days uses a Content Management System (CMS) that among other things enables you as the client to manage your own website content.

The CMS we use is an open source system that is used by more websites around the world than any other CMS. It is constantly refined and improved by millions of developers around the world at no cost.

Most other web design providers these days have their own CMS that they have built and maintain internally just for their clients. This is good for them because they can charge you a fee that locks you into using their system. However you are paying indirectly for the development and maintenance of a CMS that is almost certainly inferior to ones freely available in the open source community. You are also locked into using this provider for any future work on the site and probably a whole range of other related services.

2. No Lock in Contracts

Because of the CMS we use and because we have a no lock in contracts policy, after we build your site you are free to do with it what you wish. We can support you with monthly support, hosting and a range of other services but by no means do we require any ongoing financial commitment. This gives you the flexibility to constantly choose your providers for different web services and keeps us on our toes!

3. Standardised Technology

Our CMS uses standardised technology that is used by more websites around the world than any other. This means finding hosting is easy, finding developers and support is easy, finding additional extensions to the website is easy!

4. Scalability

While we are on the topic of extensions, you might only want a small website to start but most small businesses have the intention of growing over time. In 1 year you might want a blog, the next year you might want an online store, the next year a discussion forum. Our clients find themselves in this position all the time and for them it is as simple as purchasing an affordable extension to their website. The extensions themselves are developed by millions of developers around the world and made available either free or for a very affordable price. Our clients simply pay for our time to install it and customise it on the site. On the latest count there are over 4000 extensions available.

5. Full Service

The CMS isn't the only reason to choose us. As a business owner it is hard to find good help. If you find a web designer that is friendly and easy to work with the last thing you want to do is have to do the whole search again to find providers for other associated services. Web Circle is a full service web provider, this means we offer everything from domain registration and management, eMarketing, Search Engine Optimisation, Hosting, Copywriting and more. We offer all of these services to give our client peace of mind that when they choose us they are free to stick with us for all of their web needs and won't have to manage different providers for different related services.

6. Everything is optional

We love to provide the full range of web related services to our clients but we would never force clients into using us for anything. We provide all passwords, information and source files on request and any of our clients are free to leave us at any time. We have never had a client leave against our will however as we continue to strive to improve our service. This gives you the peace of mind to know that we are a low risk option for you and means we have to continue to provide great service to keep your business.
