Welcome to Instantiate Web Development Solutions!

To see what we can offer, click on some of the tags on the left to see a short description.

Start to finish, from initial design concepts to hosting and server optimisations. We pride ourselves on having a good knowledge of the full spectrum of website infrastructure and base our skills in being able to produce fast and reliable websites running off the latest technologies.

We can create full custom built Content Management Systems (CMS) for your business where any amount or complexity of website or business content can be easily managed with intuitive forms, tables and search filters.

Having a wide range of knowledge and expertise means we are perfectly positioned to extend existing websites by creating extra features or widgets that can be 'bolted on' or seamlessly integrated with ease.

With a huge amount of database management experience we can take all the pain and tedium out of data migrations. Whether this be from an old site to a new one or from one old business aspect to another.

Does your site seem to be running slower than everyone else's? We might be able to help. We are well versed in all the latest server administration tricks and skilled at applying these to both new builds and existing sites. Often just a few tweaks to the configuration of your server can make a huge difference.

Want your site to appear at the top of a Google search? There are many different tools that we use to achieve the best search engine rankings for our sites.

This is often overlooked by most web designers and yet it is crucial to the fast and effective running of any website. There are many layers of server-side and client-side caching that are rarely harnessed to their full potential. With just a few tweaks even the slowest of sites can be turned lightning-quick!

Asset minifications and compressions are types of website optimisation which involves optimally reducing the file sizes of all the images and assets that your site sends to its users. Using a few well-honed techniques a site without any of this in place can typically benefit from about an 80% decrease in bandwidth!

Caching is a huge area of web development. It is crucial to the fast and effective running of a website. Having an optimally-configured caching system on your site will reduce the amount of work your site and server has to do to send the user the content they are after, hence improving page-load speeds and reducing server bandwidth.

Having managed the collaborative design, development and deployment of a number of large scale commercial websites we have the experience required to help guide you through all the stages of the full project lifecycle.

Many website features rely on integrations with externally provided services. Examples may be a payment gateway for a shop, or a booking system for a holidays provider, the list goes on. We have vast experience setting up API (Application Programming Interface) integrations of all different flavours for seamless integration into our clients' sites.

Need to take card payments on your website? We have experience setting up numerous payment gateways for just that purpose. We have experience setting up and configuring SSL (Secure Socket Layer) certificates so you can provide the best assurances of absolute security to your customers. Amongst the various solutions we offer we can also create fully customised payment gateways on your site.

If your business provides a service which requires regular subscription renewals this can be integrated and automated within your website. With or without a payment gateway this feature can be built into new or existing sites along with automated emails sent out from your site at predefined triggers (eg. When a subscription is about to expire).

The underlying structure of a newsletter management system is no different from the management of your website content. This can easily be built and integrated into your site, including customisations specific/relevant/applicable to your site such as pulling in the latest news, blog articles or products from your database.

Having spent many sleepless nights getting sites to work properly in all the common versions of Internet Explorer (6+) we can also offer our services as one of the few remaining web developers who are capable of building sites which will display and function in old browsers just as well as they do in more modern browsers.

Today, more and more websites are being viewed on smartphones. We can set up different versions of your site to automatically display depending on how the user is viewing the site. This is important for keeping you at the cutting edge of the internet.

Usability of features and aspects often requires dynamic 'cool' effects and we are very adept at these. There are a huge range of pre-built plugins and extensions that can be integrated and customised easily, but if you can't what you want then we can build it for you! We are fully experienced with the jQuery javascript libraries and have developed a number of customised classes and effects for use on clients' sites.

Using standard, interoperable HTML markup and stylesheets offers a much greater chance of having one's page handled consistently across many different platforms and user-agents. Creating rich web applications with reliable performance and without unexpected errors requires that the HTML and CSS be fully validated.

With a wide range of knowledge, experience and expertise of building web sites and applications of all scales we are in a great position to discuss your specific requirements and help you to explore the potential options that may be available.

Nowadays you are hard pushed to find a site without some level of Facebook integration. Whether it be a tab, an app, the Facebook login system or you simply want to let users 'Like' your site we have done it all. We have developed a number of apps and tabs and helped to maintain even more.
