No matter how big your business, you need a website to have any chance of competing with your competition. This could be a database driven site to display your range of products or just a simple one page 'brochure' site to show your location & contact details.
We can sit down and discuss with you exactly what your requirements are and what you'd like to achieve. Once we know what you want, we can get down to the business of designing a tailor made solution to meet your requirements and budget.
Something that looks great on paper, won't necessarily translate into a great website, so don't get a graphic designer to create your website. We have the experience in designing specifically for the web as well as the ability to then translate those designs across to a printed medium, such as business cards or stationey. That way, you'll have consistency across all your mediums. Now, there's no need to have your work distributed across multiple design agencies. We can look after it all.
After we've designed your site and you're hapy with how it all looks, we'll then bring those creations to life. We can design and develop a website that's just right for your company, whether it's one page or one hundred.
We use a range of technologies to create a site that suites your needs. Primarily, we'll use the LAMP Solution Stack (Linux, Apache, MySQL and PHP) on top of xhtml/css (and sprinklings of JavaScript & AJAX). When needed though, we'll also use Adobe Flash, ASP and MS-SQL.
During the development stage and prior to 'go-live', we'll make sure that we've tested your site across numerous platforms such as Windows and Mac OS, as well as with various browsers including Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari & Opera (just to name a few). We also like to test our sites against the W3C Markup Validation Service as well as the W3C CSS Validation Service just to make sure that everything's sweet!
We also have extensive experience with website usability. So, not only will your site look great, it'll be usable. There's no point in having a fantastic looking website if people can't find the right information on it. We'll put into practice our usability and SEO (Search Engine Optimisation) techniques to make sure your site performs properly.
Maybe you've already got a website that you're happy with. If that's the case, we can also provide website maintenance services. No matter whether you'd like to give your site a bit of a 'freshen up' or simply need a few pages updated with new content and imagery, Maddison Designs can help.
There's no need to hire expensive designers and developers when you only need the occasional update. We can provide our service on an ad-hoc basis or if you prefer, we can tailor a monthly "maintenance" package to suit your requirements and budget.
Email is one of the most effective forms of online marketing available. We can develop an email marketing campain for your business including send-out. Alternatively, if you prefer to get more involved, we can provide the tools for you to handle your own campaigns.
The internet is the ideal way to sell your products or services. It works for you 24/7, never sleeps and never has 'sickies'. More and more people are choosing to purchase goods online due to the convenience of being able to shop, when it suits them, no matter whether it's 3pm in the afternoon or 3am. Why not let us develop an eCommerce solution for your business and watch your profits soar.
Whenever possible, we choose to use eWay® as our preferred Payment Gateway solution to handle all your credit card transactions online, in real-time. eWAY® is level 1 Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) compliant. By being fully approved under the highest level of compliance you can be assured that your customer's details remain secure throughout their purchase.

Whether you need a simple solution for your own personal use or home based business or if you run a large corporation and require secure hosting for your eCommerce website. We're sure we'll have a package to suit.
All our servers are located in our secure datacenter in Canberra, Australia. This allows for fast local access for your website.

If you're just starting up a business, then we can design that perfect logo to accompany your business name and help you stand out among your peers.
If you already have an existing logo, we can apply that effortlessly to all your designs, no matter whether its printed or pixeled. We'll make sure we adhere to all your branding guidelines that you have in place.
Whether you just need an updated business card or a complete set of stationery items, we can help. We'll keep your branding consistent across all mediums, reflecting the professionalism your company has already worked hard to establish.
If you're after some new imagery to make your website or brochure stand out, we can come out to your site to photograph your products, services or offices. We also source professional stock images from some of the largest libraries to make your website or brochure come alive.

If you're running a design and/or development studio, you'd be fully aware of how work can fluctuate from month to month. Occasionally, you may find you're inundated with work and no available staff. Maddion Designs can help with your overflow. We've partnered with a number of studios to provide them with our web design & web development services. It allows them to provide an extra value-added service, that normally they wouldn't be able to provide without having to hire further staff. It's a simple, cost-effective solution for both you and your clients.
