Content Management
Once your website has been launched, how will you update its content to keep it fresh, accurate and relevant? Canny Publishing can provide a content update service for you but most website owners want a simple way of doing this for themselves.

You can arrange your own host or let us do this for you. We can also move an existing website to a new host.

Domain Name Registration
Choice of domain name (e.g. www.myname.co.uk) is important. It will be used to identify your business or organisation on the web, it should be easy to remember and easy to describe over the phone. Let Canny Publishing help you choose your name and explain the options. You can use an existing domain name or take out a new one. You can arrange your domain name yourself or let us register it for you.

Search Engine Registration and Optimisation
A website that customers cannot find is no use. Canny Publishing will register your website with an agreed set of search engines as part of our website creation process. Search engine optimisation is vital to achieve a good ranking with the search engines. Canny Publishing uses good design practices to optimise content for search engine ranking. A linking policy is agreed with customers as part of the design process - links to your site are another key ranking factor.

Photography and Scanning
Visual impact is a vital part of any website design. Visitors will remain longer and are more likely to come back if it is visually pleasing. Photographs and other graphic images are a good way to achieve this and are a very important part of creating interest in your products or services. Canny Publishing offers a wide range of photographic and graphic services including scanning your photographs. We can use your own photographs and graphics or we can photograph products, people, places, or any other feature you require.
