Forget expensive non-performing websites- Our unique
Search friendly frameworks keep costs lower so you can
focus on growing your sales and generating new leads.
Back in 2007 we started to explore the options for delivering web solutions that could offer all the benefits of a quality bespoke web solution but without the usual high bespoke price tag. Our goal was simple. If we could offer stunning, high quality and flexible website solutions, focused on meeting our client’s goals with substancial cost savings, we would have a clear advantage that would appeal to many businesses and organisations. After all, we knew that you typically had two main choices.
We wanted to ensure we retained the ability to provide a first class service, access to our expertise and many of the benefits that would be available to customers choosing the bespoke route by achieving savings of around 50% on the typical project costs.
The Commotion web “framework” is built around a carefully developed set of tools, libraries, grids, and design best practices that take time-consuming custom web development tasks and turn these into generic modules that can be reused rather than reinventing the wheel each time around. The result, when compared to building your website as a fully custom project, is estimated cost savings of between 40% to 60% and a finished website that- in many cases- will be superior and more robust than an expensive custom bespoke built site.
Well laid out and slick magazines, newspapers, books, posters and marketing materials will almost always use an invisible grid. In fact grids have been used in all aspects of design for 100’s of years. Grids are the invisible foundation Commotion Creative use to achieve visual cohesion in page design and layout. They are the backbone layout foundation that divides horizontal and vertical space in consistent units where text, headlines, images, and advertising can be placed and will always look right. Grids also make it easier to apply the "rule of thirds" asymmetrical or symmetrical columns to design, all of which results in a visually appealing and easy-to-navigate layout.
The commotion CSS layout grid has been carefully developed in-house, it is not available from anyone else and provides several key advantages which includes;
In addition to our own design and CSS grid frameworks, we make full use of other established and proven frameworks and object orientated development tools that make rapid development possible. For example, our JavaScript framework of choice is JQuery, our CMS framework is MODx, and our chosen eCommerce platform itself uses Smarty templating and JQuery, all of which provides the flexibility to offer new ways to engage with your customers and helps us to be more efficient and save you money.
The core content managed (CMS) and eCommerce solutions we code are based upon proven web applications that are used throughout the World. In most cases the software itself is free, there are no hidden costs or software lock-in and no compulsory annual licence fees. All our applications are easy-to-use and can be updated by non-technical people with a minimum amount of training.
