From the initial meeting though the entirety of your marketing campaign, we aim to work with each client to develop and implement strategies for a strong online presence. NTL stays hands on to ensure that the entire process is laid out in a fashion that is both intuitive and easy to follow. Our goal is a flawless deployment of your project and we will see it through to completion.

Your site needs to promote your business and speak to customers and visitors alike. However, it is vital for a web presence to fit in with any offline marketing campaigns. This is what we do best; we take your offline branding and render it into a robust and effective online presence. Creating websites involves the collaboration of creativity and marketing.

Each web design package offered by NTL includes basic SEO set-up, which ensures key pages are scanned and properly indexed by web crawlers. A website can be beautifully created but if it is not optimized for web crawlers it is essentially useless. NTL puts a great deal of effort into ensuring that this is not the case by implementing an ongoing SEO campaign. Our procedures are 100% ethical further reassuring you that your website will not be blacklisted or marked as spam by the search engines.

Research shows that 95% of people who use search engines click on one of the first three results. For this reason, a Search Engine Optimized (SEO) website is crucial to the success of your business. NTL offers a variety of online solutions from simple web pages to fully interactive e-commerce portals. Our developers are experienced in all mainstream development languages including HTML, XML, CSS, PHP, Perl and JavaScript. An NTL designer will work closely with you during the design process to decide on the best avenue for your solution considering the nature of your business, customer base, goals and budget.

We, at NTL, build all websites with accessibility in mind. This enables your content to be deliverable to a wide audience on all of the popular viewing platforms. We also work to ensure our web designs fit in with the needs of readers for the visually impaired, search engine crawlers, mobile phones, modern browsers and operating systems.

There are many web technologies that are designed to deliver an improved web experience; however, they are not always accessible across every platform. For instance, flash can dramatically increase a website's visual appeal but ironically it can also make it difficult to search for and even unreadable on some platforms if not properly implemented. We ensure that such technologies are used with the utmost care to maintain accessibility while never wavering on quality and appearance.

Our systems are developed to industry standard specifications. Perl, MySQL and Linux are web technologies that we work hard to support in an attempt to minimize the risk our clients take. We aim to protect our clients via unrestricted licensing agreements. Such agreements allow for the client to modify the source code and move it, with or without NTL.

We are a company that prides itself on honesty. We do not believe in forced upgrades, vendor lock-ins or annual licensing fees. When you receive the code it belongs to you, no strings attached.

Modular Development

NTL follows a modular development methodology to keep development costs low and further improve your website's functionality. Our aim is to create a website that will serve your business for years to come. We "future-proof" our web designs to ensure a lasting presence that will not need to be re-engineered from scratch for any required changes in a few years time.
