What do the majority of our customers want?

A website for their business, that looks good, loads quickly, can be found when looked for by their customers making that essential first impression. Maybe linked to their Facebook, Linkedin or Twitter pages. Maybe showing examples of their work with order forms. Or maybe even an online shop!

At Ape Red Media we do all of this and a lot more! Our customers have rated us with 5 Stars for customer service putting us in the top 20 web design companies on WWDC out of 5811 companies (last time we checked.)

What does this mean for you?

It means we’ll listen to what you want, give you clear expectations matched to your budget and produce the site you want, within agreed time frames. No flannel, we’ll speak in plain English, and what you hear, is what you’ll get. That’s the way our customers like it, if that’s what you’re looking for give us a call on 01794 521 516 or drop us a line by clicking below.

Web Sites, would you have thought it?

I remember my first site back in 1997, sitting amazed at what was possible, words and images in a layout on a computer screen! And other people could see it any time of day or night without being in my office!!

Now some 14 years later, a business is conspicuous if it doesn’t have a website! Around 80% of the UK population access the internet every month! The internet has changed our lives, changed the way we do business, and CHANGED THE WAY OUR CUSTOMERS DO BUSINESS!

Every day there are new businesses having web sites designed and existing businesses having sites redesigned. Making that right first impression, being where their customers expect them to be.. on the net! When I was a boy we looked in the Yellow Pages if we needed a plumber, today we look on Google, or ask our friends on Facebook!

Our job is to create your online presence they way you want it in the way you want to be seen. So when your customers or potential customers look for you, and find you, they get that ‘right’ first impression and pick up their phone or send that email.

Online Brochures

Ape Red Media produce online brochures in PDF and SWF formats. Many businesses produce brochures to promote their company and services or products. Distribution of brochures in this day and age is expensive and when added to the production and print costs it is often a tall order for the small business to produce brochures in quantity for mail drops.

Online Distribution is Free

Websites provide a business with the opportunity to distribute brochures by download and by email marketing. Ape Red Media has long experience in the production of PDF brochures, designing and marketing a magazine in PDF in the late 90’s early 2000’s.

Online and Offline Viewing

PDF’s, which stands for Portable Document Format are common place today but still create a very credible image when designed professionally. They can be viewed online in the majority of browsers or can be downloaded and opened with Adobe Acrobat Reader.

SWF is an Adobe Flash file format and can be viewed online with Adobe Flash Player, both Acrobat Reader and Flash Player are fairly standard today but if not on a visitors computer, can be downloaded free from Adobe. The beauty of SWF brochures is that they can be given a visual effect called ‘page turn’ making them behave visually like a paper brochure.

When we design brochures for print the artwork is usually finalised as print ready PDF and by default we make a low resolution version for clients so they can distribute via their website as well. The PDF brochures can also be published online with Issuu providing a Flash style page turning online document that is cross browser compatible and can be viewed on iPads.
