Consultancy services

In addition to the delivery of complete web projects, we can supply a range of services to help you achieve your goals.

Project Management

Web projects have become notorious for delays, cost over-runs, and argument over specifications and deliverables. Using our own web project management methodology, we can help you keep on track.

Information Architecture

If you are planning a large site or intranet, or considering how to improve an existing one, then you know how complicated it can be to identify the information schemes and structures that will work best for you - and what about sourcing or re-purposing content for the site; do you need a search function; why might you need a thesaurus? (what is a thesaurus?) Ask us how we can help you.

Application Development

We can develop or modify your web applications, improving access to the information in your databases. Most experience has been with Microsoft SQL Server™ and Adobe Coldfusion™ but other database products and scripting environments are possible.

Site promotion and analysis

There is more to promoting your web site than "submit URL" with google and the other search engines and indexes. We don't "submit sites", but we can help you modify your site to improve its SEO (Search Engine Optimisation), and advise on how best to spend your time and money on site promotion. Coupled to this is "web analytics" or the analysis of the site and it's users, by studying web server logs, for instance. We can advise you on how best to study your site, assess your marketing and improve your users experience - improving traffic, revenue, or both.
As an example, we have recently completed a study of SEO and SEM for a client, and are now helping the client carry out an action plan to boost targeted traffic to their site.

Usability study

Why are some sites a pleasure to use, whereas others seem to be designed to block your path? The answer is usability, a vast subject that covers everything from graphic design to process flow. It is also a key element of information architecture.

SouthernFjord Web Development is based in Stavanger, Norway but also works with customers in the UK. We have been developing web sites since 1999 and offer a range of other services.
