Other Services

We have many more strings to our bow

Alienation is an award winning full service new media design agency. This means we provide end to end solutions that give you real measurable results in the digital world. Here are some of the additional services we provide.

Flash

Having worked with Macromedia (now Adobe) based solutions since 1997, our talented designers are very experienced in leveraging the power of Flash. More than just an animation tool, Flash applications can be integrated fully with your content management system and deliver seamless custom content that achieves a higher response rate than standard static content.
See some Flash examples.

Shared & Dedicated Hosting

Sleep easy - your hosting is monitored 24/7

Hosting is provided with all projects we work on. Our dedicated servers sit on one of the fastest, most reliable and robust networks available worldwide. It boasts the lowest latency in the industry along with zero packet loss.

All servers are backed up on a daily basis with firewalls in place and security patches from major vendors regularly applied. Back-up servers, UPS (uninterruptable power supply) & diesel power generator backup are in place. Our servers are monitored 24/7 with support staff automatically contacted by email and sms when any issues arrive. Server uptime is guaranteed at 99.99% and technical support is covered by our Service Level Agreement (copy on request).

For projects where large traffic volumes are expected, we would recommend a dedicated server. Alienation can recommend, set up, install and maintain a stand alone server.

Training

Prior to all our sites being published we arrange for key personnel to be trained in the use and management of the content management system. Training covers the key features of your web site and how to use the CMS to keep your site up to date. Each delegate leaves with a full and detailed User Guide on the operation and management of the site.

In addition to this we can also provide training on;

Search engine marketing

This comprehensive training course covers every aspect of running a successful search engine marketing programme. The course includes classroom learning plus practical exercises and is spread over 2 (non-consecutive) days.

Writing for the web

Writing effective copy for your website is critical to its performance. Because your writing for a dual “audience” - to please the search engines as well as your intended target human audience - even employing a professional copywriter will not guarantee success. The course lasts one day and includes a full set of notes.

Presentations

We all know Powerpoint presentations can be exceedingly dull. If you're tired of making the same old slideshows, we can design an interactive animated presentation that will stand out from the crowd. Using Prezi.com, we will convert your dull slides in to stunning online presentations with not a slide in sight. Once you have the new template up and running, Prezi is so simple to use, you can go on to create your own presentations using your new design.
