Why use Digital Routes? In a word, quality. We have many years'
experience creating and marketing effective and successful websites. We
do not sub contract out, because we have the creative expertise and the
latest technology in house.
Below is a list of features which we always include at no cost when we design and
host a site. but which many
other companies either charge extra for or fail to provide.
Daily statistics
Every morning we generate a full statistics report
which allows you to check the traffic on your site, on line and at any time.
Search engines submissions
We manually submit your site to all the major search engines. We also
return to make sure that each search engine has accepted your site and make
resubmissions as required.
DNS hosting
Many companies will charge for applying each of your domain names onto your
account. We don't think that hidden charges like these are fair.
Unlimited email addresses
You can have an unlimited number of email redirections and up to ten POP
mailboxes. We can do all the setup for you.
24/7 monitoring
We have multiple systems inplace to continually
monitor the server's performance and security.
Image optimisation
Images on your website are always sized and compressed so that they are
visually sharp yet quick to download.
Hand coded HTML
The vast majority of companies use Dreamweaver, Frontpage or some other tool
to build websites; we construct all of our sites by hand.
As a result, our websites load faster, are viewable by any browser, and are much
easier to maintain.
Alternative content
Any site that uses frames, Java, Flash, or even images needs to be
written with alternative text so that search engines and users who don't
have the latest browsers can still access all your information.
Error monitoring
If there is ever a broken link or broken image on your website, our
server immediately emails us so that we can correct the problem.
Quality checklist
Before your website is launched, we go through a comprehensive checklist and
scrutinise the site with validation tools that detect the subtlest errors.
Regular backups
We maintain backups of your site at separate locations more than 6000
kilometres apart.
