Having the right website could mean the difference between your business’s success or failure (particularly during these difficult times). Whether it’s the need to sell online or cut operating costs Barsbank can help with your website development project.
Understanding a User’s motives for visiting your website is the key to success. Designing and developing a website around your User’s requirements ensures that you will satisfy their wants, needs and expectations and allow them to achieve their objective. Whether a data capture landing page or a full ecommerce website the User Experience (UX) is what drives the User to perform an action.
Underpinning all of this are the systems, technology and infrastructure to securely and seamlessly allow your Users to fulfil their objectives across multiple devices.

HOW WE DO IT
The most important part of any website development project is to understand the wants, needs and expectations of the User and how a website can service these criteria. Without this understanding there is a danger of developing the wrong website and wasting valuable investment.
Once we understand the website requirements we can specify exactly what is to be developed, the technical infrastructure & hosting requirements; we will then provide a quote to carry out the development work. We can also specify and develop a website within a given budget.
The website design, development & testing will be carried out in accordance with the development schedule. Client access and regular update reports will be given to view progress of the project.
After the website has been launched we will review the usage analytics and make recommendations for further development or amends. We can identify User behaviour across a broad range of metrics.
Barsbank provides bespoke website development services for businesses and organisations across the UK. Our work includes business websites, lead generation websites, eCommerce platforms, booking systems, customer portals, online applications, API integrations and custom functionality. We can manage a project from initial requirements and planning through to development, testing, launch and ongoing support, giving clients a single experienced partner for both technical development and long-term website growth.
Barsbank can develop fully bespoke websites as well as work with established platforms where they are the right fit for the project. The best approach depends on the functionality, budget, future growth plans and integration requirements of the business. For more complex projects, bespoke development can provide greater flexibility and allow the website to be built around the way the organisation actually operates rather than forcing the business to adapt to a generic system.
The timescale depends on the size and complexity of the website. A relatively straightforward business website may take several weeks, while a larger project involving bespoke functionality, eCommerce, booking systems, APIs or customer portals may take longer. Barsbank begins by understanding the project requirements, defining the specification and agreeing a development schedule so clients have a clear idea of the stages involved before work begins.
Yes. Barsbank has extensive experience developing bespoke web applications and online systems, including order processing platforms, booking systems, management portals, eCommerce systems and middleware that connects different software platforms. Bespoke development can help businesses automate processes, reduce administration and create functionality that would not be available through a standard website platform.
Yes. Barsbank can connect websites with existing business systems using APIs, middleware and bespoke integrations. This can include CRM systems, booking platforms, payment providers, databases, email systems, inventory software and third-party services. Connecting systems can reduce duplicated data entry, automate routine processes and create a smoother flow of information between the website and the rest of the business.
Yes. Modern website development should provide a consistent experience across desktops, laptops, tablets and smartphones. Barsbank develops responsive websites so layouts, navigation and content adapt to different screen sizes. Mobile usability is considered throughout design, development and testing to help ensure users can browse, enquire, book or purchase effectively regardless of the device they are using.
Yes. A strong technical foundation is an important part of search engine optimisation. Barsbank can develop websites with clear page structures, responsive layouts, clean code, logical internal linking, optimised metadata, structured content and performance considerations in mind. The development team can also work alongside SEO and digital marketing specialists so technical changes support the wider search strategy rather than being treated separately.
Yes. Not every project needs to start from scratch. Barsbank can review an existing website and determine whether it is better to improve the current platform or rebuild it using a more suitable technical approach. This can involve improving performance, mobile usability, functionality, security, content structure, integrations and conversion journeys while retaining useful content and existing business assets where appropriate.
Yes. Testing is an important part of the website development process. Barsbank tests websites to make sure functionality works as intended and that the user experience remains consistent across different devices and browsers. Depending on the project, testing can include forms, navigation, integrations, payment processes, booking journeys, responsive layouts and user acceptance testing before the website goes live.
Yes. Website development does not have to end when the site goes live. Barsbank can provide ongoing technical support, maintenance, hosting and further development as the requirements of the business change. Additional functionality, integrations and improvements can be introduced over time, helping the website continue to support the organisation as it grows. Barsbank’s project examples include systems that have continued to evolve alongside client businesses.
Barsbank works with organisations ranging from SMEs to larger companies and public-sector bodies. Its wider portfolio includes website and online-system work for organisations such as Mitsubishi, Marriott Hotels and Whitbread, as well as bespoke solutions for smaller businesses across the UK. The development approach is based on the individual requirements of each project rather than a fixed industry template.
Barsbank has more than 25 years of experience in website development, digital systems and online marketing. The company has delivered websites and bespoke systems for both major organisations and SMEs, including platforms that handle online sales, booking processes, customer management and business operations. By combining website development, bespoke software, UX, SEO and digital marketing expertise, Barsbank can approach a website project from both a technical and commercial perspective rather than simply building pages.
