The new NDW website is contemporary with a generous serving of whitespace and an abstract artistic illustration denoting the development process. This is the second website we have designed for NDW, the first being Siganto88 also available for viewing in our web design portfolio.
There are essentially two ways to build a website. The first way is to use mass produced templates which are great for hobbyists but not ideal for a professional business. Templates are usually built with outdated code, are not search engine friendly and of course the same template is often shared by 1000s of people which means your branding is effectively zero. Unfortunately many web designers use them to increase their profit margins.
The second way is to custom make or hand code a website. This is the way we do things at 2 Creative. All of our websites are hand coded in-house at our Gold Coast studio using the latest web standards and cutting edge technologies. Hand coding has many benefits such allowing us to program your site for maximum speed and functionality. We can also adapt your site as the web evolves saving you the pain of throwing out an outdated web template due to outdated programming.
Unfortunately there are many so-called web designers out there that are simply middle-men who use cheap templates or cheap overseas labour to produce sub-standard websites while still charging top dollar. When you compare our work to other portfolios you will soon see what we mean. The good news is that even though we custom make our websites to the highest quality, our prices are very competitive. This is due largely to our low overhead business model.
At 2 Creative we understand the costs of running a business and that every dollar needs to count. We also understand our job is predominantly to help your customers accept you as the market leader in your field and either sell more products or services or to trust in your organisation. When you invest in professional design services from 2 Creative you are investing in the success of your own venture, and all for a reasonable price!
To us it's really very simple... provide good service and the client comes back for more. In reality service comes down to the business model behind a company. If the focus is on profit then service is simply a word and an overhead that will inevitably be cut from the company's bottom line. So how do you tell if a web and graphic design company is purely for profit or believes in service? The answer may be hard to find but there are some clues such as templates. If the web design or graphics company you are looking at uses off-the-self cheap template system then chances are they are in it for the money and will take shortcuts on service also.
Maybe it's because our founder is originally from Melbourne or that he's just old fashioned... either way, service is built into everything we do at 2 Creative as our testimonials prove.

While graphic design technology has settled down for a while, the same cannot be said for website design and development which is constantly evolving. Our chosen platform for web design and development is XHTML, CSS, PHP and MySQL. These technologies are used by the biggest companies in the world and continually being improved upon to ensure your website is fast, reliable and secure.
To maximise the performance and stability of our websites, we have built an impressive test bay over the years that consists of everything from the earliest laptops to the latest Apple Macs. These systems run a range of operating systems and browser configurations to guarantee our websites perform across the widest possible array of user based technologies out there. The 2 Creative test bay is just another fact that demonstrates we are serious professionals in our field and can provide the highest level of service to our clients.
