Web Development
If you glance through our portfolio you will see that our design team has built many different types of websites. They vary from the very small to the very large, from simple to complex. Each of our clients has had completely different requirements and expectations for their site and because of this required a custom design. This is our strength.
Our services include the development of web applications such as content management systems, e-commerce stores, forums, image galleries and many others. We can also program modules that can be added to your website to enhance the functionality. These include:
Shopping Cart Systems
Redfox can build your business an ecommerce website capable of processing credit cards and also allowing various other payment options such as direct deposit, cheque or paypal.
We can implement many different methods of dealing with shipping costs including automatic shipping calculations using Australia Post.
The ecommerce sites we build are customised to fit your business but come with a huge list of features to enhance both the user shopping experience and your ability to market the site effectively.
Alternatively, if you would like to test the waters of selling products or services online we can integrate a paypal solution to keep things simple.
Content Management Systems
The majority of the sites we build now use custom content management systems (CMS) where you can easily edit web pages via a password protected administration area of the site.
Information is entered via simple intuitive web forms that have been custom designed and the website is updated instantly. By using a database to store information we can arrange the data to be presented in many useful ways and formatted and sorted to best present your information. The CMS is best used where pages in the website change frequently.
Any part of your site can built using a CMS. Some uses are news, calendar of events, product catalogue, document manager, image galleries, links, articles and many more.
All that is required is a web browser and the ability to fill in web forms. We design our administration areas to be as simple as possible for you to add your content and still keep the your web pages looking professionally formatted.
Custom Forms
Forms can be used to receive enquiries, build email lists, place orders, provide quotes and many other applications. The data can be emailed to you, stored in a database or both. Forms are the backbone of many websites and allow easy communication with your clients.
Document Management
If you would like to be able to add documents to your website so your clients can download we can build a document manager. This is useful where any PDF, MS Word or MS excel documents are needed on the site.
Image Galleries
Redfox can create image galleries using flash or javascript to show your products or services. We build galleries that allow your users to open individual images or to scroll through a complete set of images. Download speed is always an important factor in designing a system for your site.
Other Programming
Other applications can include:
- forums
- blogs
- guest books
- search functions

Adding functionality to your site with these web applications can enhance the user experience. An increase in user interactivity leads to longer visit times and increased traffic.
Redfox will always incorporate the best programming practices to build the right solution for your business.
