Web design by The Smart Method: Example Web Sites

Here are a couple of sites we've created recently. They will give you a good idea of the type of site you can create with our £299 starter and £499 pro packages.

LearnMicrosoftExcel.com - a very large site with streaming video

Learn Microsoft Excel, web design by The Smart Method

We produced this hand-crafted site to sell books and videos. It is a good example of the use of contemporary web technologies. This site has been designed so that each page is compact, allowing most viewers to see the entire page without having to scroll the browser window.

Note the navigation bar that indicates the current page by "lighting up" the relevant button. Also note the two tabs at the top of each page. This allows users to jump between two similar sites, one for Excel 2007 and one for Excel 2010.

If you click the Free Tutorials button and then click a video button you'll see an example of streaming video played in a pop-up window. Video is becoming an important component of contemporary web sites.

If you click the Products button you'll see a good implementation of an international e-commerce solution. Users choose their country before viewing country-specific pricing for their location.

Binoculars For Bird Watching - An example of a £299 starter site

Binoculars For Bird Watching has been chosen for the starter site example because it is a good illustration of a simple E-Commerce site. It is also a good example of the "big page" style that is popular on the web with most information provided on the home page.

The banner header with photos of the Owl, Blue Tit and binoculars was created by blending together four different photographs.

Another very important feature of this site is its ability to accept payment via all major credit cards. We can offer you the ability to accept on-line payment immediately with no status checks, setup or recurring costs.
