Web development

Expert web developers without a huge price tag

Most people who do web design for small business don't have genuine web development expertise. They might be able to install and tweak a basic content management system, but they don't have the complex coding skills that you need to develop a web application or achieve seamless integrations between systems. If your website needs something more than off-the-shelf technology, Acorn's web development skills - earned over long experience with big companies - will make it work better, smarter, and more efficiently.

Web applications

Acorn has all the skills in house to develop custom web applications for your business or organisation. We also have the experience in web strategy and usability to guarantee that the applications we build always provide an efficient and friendly experience, guaranteeing you get value for money.

Web standards

All of Acorn’s websites and web applications are built to the most modern web standards. This means the code behind your website is flexible and portable.

Web standard code means that Google is more likely to rank your keywords highly, and over time the flexibility it provides will save you money.

Online forms

Online forms can help you automate and improve information collection, customer communication and service, and internal management and communications. We know how to take your current activities and translate them into web forms and workflows. We also know that the technology is only a small part of the total solution. We help you devise effective, audience-appropriate communications around your forms. We also help you to decide where web automation is and isn't appropriate.

Integrating e-commerce with point of sale (POS) systems

A great example of how we used our expertise in web development to make one business run more smoothly is our work on integrating Kids Avenue's e-commerce site with their point of sale system. Our seamless integration means that Kids Avenue can run both online and retail stores using the same system. They only have to enter and maintain inventory and catalogue data in a single location, avoiding the inconsistencies and double handling that inevitably arise from dual systems.
