Gloucester-based OpenGlobal IT do things a bit differently to other web design companies. For a start, we're not just a web design company, we're a web management company. This means that we're not just going to set you up with a website, then clear off and move on to the next customer. We're going to stay with you all the way.

Web technology is constantly changing and you need to stay on top of these changes in order to stay competitive. Falling behind just isn't acceptable on the internet. A website that was designed 6 months ago, might not be in tune with the latest standards and conventions. A website that was designed a year ago is unlikely to be taking advantage of the latest technologies. A website that was designed 5 years ago, is likely to look a bit old fashioned (yes, already!). And a website that was designed 10 years ago is likely to be static and dull by today's standards, and might not even work on some of the latest web browsers.

I've been working on my own web based businesses since the 1990s so I know what is required to get results from your website. I've been in the position where my livelihood depended on getting the best results from a website. And I learnt a long time ago that just having a website sitting there won't bring in the results, you need to manage it properly.

OpenGlobal are the only web designers in Cheltenham and Gloucester that design all client websites to 100% W3C compliance and WCAG Priority 1 compliance. These are industry standards that, unfortunately, most web designers can't be bothered to adhere to. OpenGlobal are professional enough to realise that industry standards matter.

Keeping a website up to date is an on-going process. Most web designers don't tell you this. Once they've designed your website and taken your money, you're left to fend for yourself. Some of the maintenance updates and changes we can make for you, and are included in our service. Other changes will need your direct input, and we will be there to guide you through the whole process.

If you were hoping that you could just have a website designed and then forget about it, sorry, it doesn't work like that. No matter what some of our competitors might tell you. Managing a website is a continual process. Choose a website management company that can really help you to understand how to maximise your results.

If you want to get a website drawn up as cheaply as possible just for the sake of having one, we suggest you look elsewhere. If you want a website that makes a difference and gives results over the long term, you've found the right partner. Contact us now for an on-site demonstration of our software.
