Brochure websites
A brochure website is really the design foundation of every website we do. Often employed by smaller businesses to demonstrate their products or services as an add-on to any other marketing they may do. For example, adding your website address to an advert will enable any interested parties to see more about you. You can also add your address to your business cards, letterheads, etc. See the Promoting your site page for more ideas. Typically, a brochure site tells more about the business, concentrates on specific offerings and has a good website enquiry form to fill in. With careful, tailored design, LA Serve offers a number of solutions.
 http://www.hartleyhire.co.uk/ - Hartley Hire is a tool and plant hire company with outlets around the Morecambe Bay area.
This fully accessible editable website promotes the wide variety of equipment available to hire and has categorised items so that the target markets (and search engines) can easily identify what’s available.
As well as designing this website, LA Serve also wrote all copy.
 http://www.leightonhall.co.uk/ - awarded silver at the North West Tourism Awards 2002 (Best Tourism Website of the Year), the Leighton Hall website was particularly special as LA Serve produced worksheets and fun information for the schools section (aimed at Key Stages 2 of the National Curriculum guidelines). Just like a brochure, the Leighton Hall site promotes it's activities and attracts weddings, corporate events, school visits, and candle-lit tours. LA Serve works as a marketing agency for Leighton Hall in providing their design and print, advertising, consultancy and market research.

Editable websites
Editable websites are our most popular sale at LA Serve. We have created our own Content Management System and have tested it on numerous clients! They all think it's great! We can design the template of your website and give you complete control over editable areas where you can upload pictures and display them in your pages, alter the headings and the text. You can even add pages. Or delete them! And it's all easy to use - if you can use Word, then you can use this!
 http://www.clarksonhirst.co.uk/ - As solicitors, Clarkson Hirst wanted a professional and uncluttered website. As well as developing their new logo, LA Serve created a clean looking website with easy navigation. This is a fully editable website design so Clarkson Hirst have full control over their content.
 http://www.jg-projects.co.uk/ - JG Projects can edit each of their pages and draw in one of several specially designed background images to keep their pages looking image-rich and professional. They can also add and delete their own pages so can build the editable website up and keep the content renewed at their own pace.

- Insul-eight Asbestos Removal - Asbestos Removal, Thermal Insulation / Trace Heating Contractors - a good example of our economy editable websites.
Database driven editable websites
We can create you a completely bespoke website which draws in information from an SQL database. This is really the basis of the Ecommerce and Editable websites (see above and below) but starts with a "clever", more interactive brochure website design. You may want to display certain data on completely different pages or display partial information on one page which can be linked to more information. Property sites are typical of this (see for example, http://www.bizbalears.com/) where you can search within areas, types and price ranges to display a selection of all that's available in the database. You can then click on the property you are interested in to find more pictures and information and even print off the page. If your site needs to "do something", like running calculations or searching information, then this is where you need to start.
 http://www.communicate365.com/ - an e-commerce site which checks availability and then sells 0845 and 0870 telephone numbers. The automated enquiry system and selling online has meant the owners of this business can put their energies into developing the service end of their business without getting tied into generating quotes and answering so many telephone enquiries.
Ecommerce editable websites
The buzz word, ecommerce, really means a website where you can specifically order or buy something from your website. In a way, even our brochure website is "ecommerce" as it can contain a good enquiry/order form. However, here we interested in placing solid orders and purchasing using a shopping basket for example. LA Serve can advise you on selling online - there are ways of selling even if you do not have Credit Card merchant status yourself. We can provide editable shopping carts and have the database knowledge to create an ecommerce website design to suit you. Our economy website design packages start at just £1000 +VAT for ecommerce! It is, of course, editable so you can keep it fully up-to-date!
 http://www.jojools.com/- an e-commerce website design that is a great example of an online shop. Here you can browse necklace and earring sets, add items to your shopping basket and purchase securely online. The whole process from design to payment has been completed by LA Serve whilst working closely with the client. So - if you would like to buy some ideal partyware, please visit their site!

We also created and provide for several Care Associations with North Wales Care Association and Lancashire Care amongst our clients.
Website design conclusion
Sometimes, clients need more than the restrictions given by standard html website design. LA Serve specialise in helping people making the most of their online marketing. So - from website design, we can help with optimisation, email marketing and web-based advertising. But it usually all starts with the foundation of our editable websites!
