This E-Commerce based web site was custom coded on behalf of CGS and uses fully integrated payment processing technology from Protx. CGS obtained a Merchant Bank Account from Streamline, which enabled them to take credit and debit card payments online without the need to pass the user onto companies like Paypal et cetera.

Their web site conforms to the W3C's internet standards and incorporates innovative features inside those standards while maintaining an easy to use structure.

The front of the web site uses 2 navigation systems. One is JavaScript menu, which allows users to flick through the large range of categories without having to reload the page. Where JavaScript is not available, the web site displays a HTML menu instead in the same style and theme. The option to choose between the two is available from the user account areas.

Every user that places an order on the site has an account created automatically. Users have the option to register before purchasing a product too. Once they either sign up or buy a product, they are automatically logged in unless they specify that they don't want to stay logged in. They will remain logged in until they click the log out link or trigger a security mechanism.

Registering to the web site can save users a lot of time if they intend to use it more than once. For example, whenever they are logged in they will never have to type the same thing twice, all the contact forms and feedback forms will be filled in with the information they provided on signup unless they change it in "My Account".

The web site contains many features and services that are available to users and administrators. These include a Newsletter, Image Cropping feature, User Discount Levels, RSS Feed and a self updating Froogle store.

PTT Installations was formed in 1997 by Phil Regan to carry out construction and cable installation in the utilities industry.

Specification was to redesign the web site with the intention of updating the images. This involved removing the Flash content from the web site and converting the content into a browser compatible format.

A professional photographer was used to take the pictures & he was more than happy to go out on site to get the right images for the job.

"UDS first helped us get the company logo off of our business cards and onto the computer which is now being used on our letterheads, compliment slips and staff clothing. The web site produced is nothing short of outstanding and feedback has always been very positive. It does exactly what it is supposed to, is easy to use and also since it went online the services UDS has to offer have been very useful.The IT support is great as well, they helped us get set up with a few things since the company expanded and any problems with setting up new email accounts have been resolved in a helpful manor and in no time at all. I would certainly recommend UDS to anybody looking for Web Design or Marketing services."

Peak Surveys Limited has been established since January 2003, providing topographical surveys, elevations, floor plans and site engineering services to architectural and construction companies.

Peak Surveys wanted to maintain the theme created for their Email Stationary on the company's web page. This was achieved by extracting the main focal points of the email stationary and integrating them into a unique design specifically for Peak Surveys.

The contact form found at the bottom left hand corner of the web site uses the Peak Surveys email stationary to send one email to the Peak Surveys staff and another email directly to the user.
