One of the smartest of ways to secure better clients in a recession-stricken market is to offer some key web services under one umbrella at competitive prices. Mark Smallman, a renowned name in the Graphic & Web Design industries, has read the pulse of the market by launching his website macgraphic.co.uk to offer creative yet cost-efficient web & print solutions across the UK and Ireland. With a formidable experience of 20 years in Photography and 13 years in Design & Print, Mark’s key services include Web Design, Web Hosting, Print Design & Printing.

“Interactive web design is the buzzword today and many businesses are looking for website solutions providers that offer multiple web services at competitive prices. Having worked with scores of clients in a challenging and evolving Web Design & Print Media industry for years, I’d like to utilize my experience to help my customers achieve fully customized websites that are user-friendly, interactive and search engine driven.” says Mark.

An unprecedented growth in the number of Internet-savvy consumers has inspired businesses to build websites that typically cater to their niche consumers’ specifications, apart from complying with the algorithms of major search engines including Google, Yahoo and MSN. Today, not only does a website need to be compatible across popular web browsers like Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Safari, Chrome and Opera, it also has to be interactive enough with the core audiences. Mark’s specialization in Interactive CMS-powered websites along with graphics, photography and print design stands him in good stead to offer a wide range of services under one-roof.

While a website should be both user and search engine friendly, businesses across the web also underscore the importance of robust web hosting services. Statistically, e-commerce websites with an impressive uptime rate tend to perform better in terms of consumer experience, sales and revenues. “At macgraphic we understand that a reliable and secured web hosting service is the very heart of any online business. Hence, we are committed to protecting our clients web servers by offering 99.9% uptime so that they never lose a potential visitor to competition. This is exactly why we chose to partner one of the biggest hosting companies in the world, allowing us to offer the support and reliability our clients deserve.” adds Mark.

According to Mark, macgraphic will also offer a design and printing services to its customers. Print Sourcing is one of the most sought-after web services today and businesses are searching for quality and sophisticated print material that complements the graphic designs on their websites. “We have made a long stride in the area of printing thanks to our network of printers and associates who help us get the print material ready and delivered at your doorstep within the deadline, and with around 95% of all jobs dispatched within 24 hours it helps us deliver an even better service for our clients.” adds Mark.
