About Parlour Design™

Parlour Design, began like many small businesses as the requirement to fit a need.

Jason was an experienced web developer, building his first websites back in 1996 for societies at his University, then, as time developed, and new businesses immerged, Jason continued to build new websites for the companies he was involved with.

Not surprisingly, friends and family began asking to have a small website built for them on a budget, and as time continued, so too did the increase in clients and the requirements they sought.

Parlour Design websites are always built to the highest standards available, whilst still using the most effective techniques, whatever they may be.

Our aim is to:

Keep the websites simple - while still looking good
Keep the main aim of the website in focus - ie to sell a product or provide information, not bombard the user with complex images or gadgets
Keep the website accessible - it's always been important for all types of users to be able to access your website, on a variety of browser: in the present day however, this is even more important, both for web accessibility standards of the disability discrimination act, and the variety of devices users can now browse websites whilst on the move (ie 3G handsets, low speed wireless, and of course mobile phones).

Extraordinary Prices:

We don't see the need, or desire, to confuse people with complex requirements and high prices just because most of the people we work for, don't have the same understandings we do:

If your idea is simple to build, it'll be cheap and quick to make, and we'll tell you so.
If your ideas are complex, we'll discuss with you how valuable the ideas really are (and therefore how worthwhile), and we'll provide you with the best option for your requirements and budget.
After all website developments, you get full control of your website, and all information contained. Of course we'll still be on hand to help where you want us to, but we won't tie you in with long contracts, or block you from doing what you want to do to your own website. Of course 'with great power, comes great responsibility', so we have simple ways you can back up your entire site, before you try to make any changes.

Parlour Design is no longer a 'one man band':

Although Jason is still very heavily involved in developments and is likely to be your main point of contact, he understands his key strengths and skill areas, and then employs a wide number of specialists in various areas, carefully established over time, to do the stuff they can generally do that they do better, cheaper and quicker! These regularly include Kate & David in graphic and print design (with their respective specialist areas), Danielle in development ideas, creativity and project development, Ray in other aspects of graphic developments for his specialities, and a host of specialist programmers, illustrators and even music composers on hand as required.

Whether you're looking for a cartoonist, printer, database specialist, printed media design, a new logo, unique photography, or any other ideas in your head; our clients regularly come back to us, asking to support some other aspect of their business. For this reason, Parlour Design has developed a network of some of the best in the business, to work directly with us for your requirements, at honest prices.

Further investments:

We continue to invest in new hardware, software, and training, to help ensure that all new websites and updates, make most of use of available technologies, whilst still being back compatible with all those a little bit behind the fast moving times.

When was the last time you made an effective investment in your online presence?
