VALID XHTML & CSS
Having a well designed website is useless without a valid W3C and Web 2.0 build behind it. Why does this matter you ask? Today's websites require high ranking by search engines (Search Engine Optimisation SEO), accesible pages and cross-browser compatability (Microsoft Internet Explorer 7+, Mozilla Firefox, Safari, Opera and Google Chrome) to reach the top of the pack. Our professional web development team at Fantasmagorical specialises in SEO, keeping up to date with the latest techniques to guide your site to make the most of its listing potential.

PHP & MYSQL
Imagine PHP as the brain of your site and MySQL as the heart, for most CMS, e-commerce, blogs or other data driven websites they require server-side assistance which is where PHP and MySQL help out. We develop all of our websites using PHP, MySQL and our complex bespoke systems are built using an MVC framework called CakePHP, creating scalable, cost effective and dynamic sites to suit your needs and budget.

CONTENT MANAGEMENT
Keeping your website alive and rich with content with pages that you can update is vital for visiting traffic. Regularly updating news articles, shows or product lists requires an efficient Content Management System (CMS). The Fantasmagorical is well equiped to design and build a bespoke CMS to satisfy all your requirements and we don't use out of the box shopping carts, e-commerce solutions or blogs, because your system should be designed around you!
Management

DOMAIN REGISTRATION
One of the first steps for any website is registering and purchasing the domain name or URL of your new website, such as the one for this Fantastic site (www.fantasmagorical.co.uk). We can obtain most web-based suffixes on the market (.co.uk, .com, .tv, .org etc...) from as little as £4 per year. As long as the domain name or names are available we will be able to purchase it for you on your behalf with no intial setup fees or hidden charges.

HOSTING
So, you've got a great looking, functional website, what's next? Every website needs to hosted on a server for your prospective clients from all over the globe to actually view and use your site. We can host your brand new or existing website for you on our dedicated and secure servers and if we've built your site you get the first years hosting and email management free of charge.

EMAIL
What's the point of having a brilliant site designed and developed by Fantasmagorical, if people can't get in touch quickly and conveniently. This is why we offer as many e-mail accounts that you require to help run your business. Whether you need sales@yousite.com, or info@yoursite.com, or money@yoursite.com then you've got 'em.
What our clients are saying about us
As a company we have used Fantasmagorical for nearly 10 years, from our first steps on the internet to our current fully content managed site. We have found Steven professional and efficient in advising on what can be done and the execution of site development is always done on time and delivered exactly what we agreed. As our requirements have changed and the company has grown Steven has been a valuable partner, quickly adding and changing the behind the scenes side of our site.
Fantasmagorical have completed the graphical design work and the background database work on our sites all the time we have used them, they have kept us upto date with software developments that have enhanced the performance and usability of our site. The ethos seems to be one of partnership rather than build and forget which is only too common in web design companies these days.
We would not hesitate in recommending Fantasmagorical to companies large and small. Having used many other companies in the past they are truly a safe pair of hands for anything internet based.
