Website Design, Maintenance & Hosting

Website Development & Maintenance

Ricco Technologies provide high-quality website design and delivery using industry standard technologies and specifications. We can process your website from requirements analysis and storyboarding through to development, deployment, redesign and maintenance.

New website design includes an attractive professional design conforming to Internet standards such as Extensible Hypertext Markup Language (XHTML), Active Server Pages (ASP) and Cascading Style Sheets (CSS). The latest industry best practice is used throughout the design process to ensure optimal viewing; this includes using the same style and navigation throughout the site for consistency, ensuring minimal dependencies are placed on third-party components and the use of CAPTCHA technology on forms to prevent email spam.

All of our websites will benefit from a clear and logical navigation structures making them intuitive for the viewer to locate the desired content. Text links and site map further bolster the websites ergonomics and will help search engines discover all of your website content.

All code is handcrafted and optimised in a text editor to avoid bloating (which results in quicker download speeds) and is verified with the World Wide Web Consortiums (W3C) XHTML and CSS validation services. All websites are optimised for, and tested on, a minimum configuration of 16-bit colour quality, and the following most popular Internet browsers:

Website Hosting

Optional value-added services include performance monitoring, statistical reporting, Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) and, website indexing and search.

Ricco Technologies provides professional hosting services via an environment located in a secure, purpose built, state-of-the-art data centre in London Docklands.

The London data centre is equipped with fire control and suppression technology, redundant Ventilating and Air Conditioning (HVAC), and humidity control systems as well as power surge protection, with onsite Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) and generators to ensure the continuous operation of our hosting architecture. It features the very latest world class resilient infrastructure, including multiple levels of 24/7 security, stable high-capacity power supplies, fire protection and environmental controls.

Ricco Technologies provide full management of the domain name including all contact with the domain registrar, annual renewals, maintaining suitable contact details and any changes required to the records in the domain name space. Full tracking of renewals with alerts ahead of time ensure that there is no chance of missing the renewal date and therefore eliminate the chance of losing your domain name to another party (possibly even a competitor).

Ricco Technologies provide email forwarding where email aliases are created (for example info@<domain name>, sales@<domain name>, etc.) which then redirect to existing email accounts (for example joe.bloggs@isp.com). This means that there is no impact to the way you currently use your email. This provides a professional email identity which aligns with the website address. It also enables you the flexibility to move email providers without the risk of losing contact with the existing customer base.

Ricco Technologies provide scheduled website reporting. This is important to assess your Return on Investment (ROI) and gauge the number of visitors your website is attracting over time. Reporting also highlights the areas of the website people are more interested in and even the search keywords and search engines people are using to find your website.

Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) is the technique of enhancing a website to perform at its best on the rankings of major search engines. While we are offering basic SEO with all of our new websites, including submission to all major search engines, additional time will likely be needed if it is important to be ranked near the top of the listings.
