About 159 Web Design

We are a small "web design" company, based in Abingdon, Oxfordshire. The company was founded in November 2007, after starting life as a hosting company. We specialize in Content Management Solutions and develop all out sites around the Joomla framework. 159 Web Design works primarily with UK clients and target our services towards small to medium size organizations.

Joomla

Joomla! is one of the most advanced and powerful Open Source Content Management Systems on the planet. It is used all over the world for everything from simple websites to complex corporate applications. Joomla! is scalable, simple to manage, and reliable. Using Joomla's framework we can develop web sites where our clients are in control. All our clients are able to add to, update and maintain almost all aspects of their website including menus, translations, images or text with the built in word like editor.Of course, you do not have to maintain your own web site if you so wish, we will gladly do it for you.

Web Design v Web Development

Most people call it web design, but we like to call it web development. We do web design as well as strategic planning, programming, hosting, search engine optimization, testing and much more! We focus on making websites that are easy for the visitor to navigate and use. Web design is an important visual aspect of this, but our theory is; what is the point of having a great looking website if your visitors cant find what they came for.

Websites that Work

We have successfully implemented many websites, ranging from small "brochure" sites to massively business, charity and sports club websites. Head over to our portfolio and check out our completed projects. 159 Web Design has developed a reputation for delivering quality web sites with no loose ends. All our sites are developed to run on the most popular search engines and we develop each site around your design brief, your are the customer and as the saying goes "The customer is always right"

What is a Content Management System?

A content management system is software that keeps track of every piece of content on your Web site, much like your local public library keeps track of books and stores them. Content can be simple text, photos, music, video, documents, or just about anything you can think of. A major advantage of using a CMS is that it requires almost no technical skill or knowledge to manage. Since the CMS manages all your content, you don't have to.
