the calder gallery

View The Calder Gallery

The Calder Gallery This contemporary art gallery in Hebden Bridge, West Yorkshire, required a site capable of displaying artists' work and providing facilities for promoting individual exhibitions. This site features a full CMS (see CMS, below) that allows the gallery owners to update all aspects of the site.

South Cheshire Militaire A Cheshire-based model club requested a site that could display not only information about the show, but also show competition results and club members' models. Backed by a CMS, South Cheshire Military Modelling Club are able to update their site as and when they complete new models and create new shows to add competition reults to.

web apps

Modern web users demand interactivity. A wide range of applications are available from basic integration to make your users' experience more special, to full-blown database-backed business-related applications.

the booking calendar

View The booking calendar

The booking calendar is a dynamically constructed calendar that allows days, or even multiple days, to be shown as booked or available. The example shows one that starts on today's date and shows to the end of the year. Other styles are available as required. Do try booking a date!

cms

Content Management Systems benefit both the client and the customer! No more waiting for the designer to add your content, a CMS allows you to take control over your site updating.

css

Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) are used not only to ensure an improved look and feel for your site, but also to allow quick and easy updating of your style across the entire site.

accessibilty

Current web standards and legislation mean that accessibility of information within your site is all the more important. Our accessible web sites are suitable for screen readers and font resizing wherever practical.

hosting

Currently, we do not provide hosting. With so many cheap and reliable hosting providers out there, we encourage users to obtain their own hosting facilites as it cuts the long-term cost down dramatically and gives the client full control over administrating the accounts.

Douglas Designs recommends Fasthosts for their cost-effective basic packages that include email accounts and site statistics. The latter are particularly important in order to see who is looking at your site, when and how.
