Web Design

Why Magic Bullet Media?

There are thousands IT companies in South Africa, who design and develop websites. Among your friends and family, you will find at least a dozen people who can design a website for you. The problem is that most of them will either lose interest, they might not have sufficient knowledge, or they might get sidetracked. Even if  they managed to put a website together and appears up and running "live", it is unlikely that they optimised  it for search engines, and therefore, you would not nearly get the results you wanted.

At Magic Bullet Media, we take pride in our work. We know that we are not the only company which designs and develops websites. We will not sell a cheap website to you, nor will we take you for a fast buck and disappear.  We will provide you with a professionally designed and developed website at a reasonable competitive price.

We will design a website for you that is:

  • Visually Appealing
  • Search Engine Friendly
  • Secure
  • User Friendly

Your website's design

Unless specifically requested, your website will not be built on existing templates. One of our designated professionals will design a website for you, which will be completely exclusive and at the same time conform to  industry standards, including the latest trends, and it will be visually appealing.

Drupal

Magic Bullet encourages the use of Drupal for your website, not only because it is one of the most popular content management systems, but because it is appropriate for websites, which need to be flexible. The Internet changes every day and a single- page- basic- website is no longer practical when it comes to ranking on search engines.  No matter what type of website you have, it must be flexable.

If you are in the process to design or commission, a new website, or upgrade an existing one, you should definitely be thinking along the lines of a Drupal based website design. Drupal's content management system is astounding, and you can read more about it here.

We will design your website using Drupal;  it will have all the latest updates & security measures installed. This means that it will be stable, secure and most important - easy to edit and to maintain.

Functionality

The days of static websites are a thing of the past.  Your mobile phone has evolved to the extent that it can do almost everything that your PC can do; websites also evolved past the point of static, hard-to-maintain websites which only an expert can edit and maintain.

Our custom assembled system is based on the Drupal Content Management System, and it will be easy for you to make changes anytime to the content of the website. Once the website is "live", you will be given a username and password, which you will use to log on. Once logged in, you will be able to make the changes you want, save it and your changes will reflect on the website immediately. Updating or editing your website is now as easy as sending an email using an online email service such as Google's Gmail.

Performance and Security

Not so long ago a website would consist of a single page of html coding - really not much more than a text file.  The Internet has become far more sophisticated, and Content Management Systems (CMS) such as Drupal, Joomla or Wordpress are all the rage. One of the main reasons is that with a CMS the owner of the website or his webmaster can add, alter, or otherwise work with the content of the website. This does not mean that the website will not be the target of misguided hackers and other malicious threats. One of Magic Bullet's many services are our "Security and Stability Updates". At least once a month we will update your website with the latest security and stability releases. This will enable you to concentrate on running your business safely with the knowledge that your website is up and running.

Search engine friendly website design

We will build your website search engine friendly. However, combining this with Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) and Google AdWords essentially means that you will have the edge over your competitors on the Internet.

Navigation through your website

There are many websites in which you can become lost. If visitors go to websites and cannot find what they are looking for at the drop of a hat, they will exit and try another. We know from experience what works effectively and what doesn't; we will assist you to implement the perfect website structure, which will enable potential clients to locate your website quickly, with your products/services on display which they are desperately looking for.
