Bryn Siriol Dental Practice based in Mold, North Wales has a dental team who take great pride in the quality of their dentistry and strive to make every visit to the dentist a pleasant experience. They offer a wide range of treatments including tooth coloured fillings, tooth whitening and dental implants to replace missing teeth, and have a dedicated team of dental hygienists.

Their new website by Pixelwave Web Design allows you to meet the team of dentists, find out more about their treatments and contact the practice. Built to modern web standards of conformability and accessibility, the website allows visitors to quickly and easily find the information they need.

In addition to information about the garden and the nursery, it contains a comprehensive plant catalogue allowing visitors to buy plants online. The site also contains a useful ‘Plantfinder’ search facility allowing visitors to search for plants based on specific criteria such as light and soil requirements allowing them to find the perfect plant for that difficult spot in the garden.

On one such visit this week I was speaking to the owners of Aberleri Seaside Cottages (a website built last year by Pixelwave Web Design) so I asked them how their site was going and was pleased to hear that it is working wonders. They are as busy as ever (the phone was ringing with booking inquiries whilst I was there), and the majority of their inquiries are now coming through the website. So much so that they probably have too many printed brochures this year as people have been getting the info they need from the website so don’t need it in print. At least they’ll know for next year and will be able to save some costs on printing. It’s always good to hear that the work I’ve done is fulfilling its purpose and that my clients are happy with it.

I’ve also recently completed some functional updates to the OGI-TM website that I built last year. Everything seems to be going well with the site but as the number of records grew the site owners needed a way to export those records so that they could be stored offline in a spreadsheet. I created a little script that exported the data to an excel file and my clients seem happy with the results, at least the response I got from them was:

This solution Its absolutely perfect!

As before the galleries offer an easy to use online editor allowing you to manage the contents of the galleries and albums and add images to them and all text on the website are edited from a .TXT file making them easy to use. The new version includes updates and improvements are to the front-end and the back-end administration panel. In particular the front-end updates include XML support, navigation buttons in the gallery (”Previous photo” and “Next Photo” buttons) and the ability to create as many categories as necessary.

In the admin panel you no longer have to use “htaccess” to secure the administration panel as there is now an integrated “login” feature. Also included are image editing tools (Crop, Flip, Rotate and Resize) all within the easy to use online administration panel. And with the new “Fonts loader” component many more characters and fonts encodings will be supported.

As always, from my point of view it is good to be working for existing clients as repeat business is good business.

In addition to this project for Slick Activewear, things have been busy here. Work continues on a daily basis on Fairies World and its associated sister websites. I’ve been working hard on the new Community Website for the Sakhalin Expats and work on the website for Bryn Siriol Dental Practice is progressing well.

I have also been working on various small updates to other websites including Get Active Beacons, SASappers and Cymric Cards.

I do still have the capacity for a few more projects over the coming months though, so if you would like to see your next website development project added to this list, feel free to contact me. I’ll be happy to help.

I’m all for promoting the Welsh language and would like to see more websites in Wales committed to providing content in both languages. Unfortunately, all too often this isn’t the case simply due to the fact that there isn’t enough return on investment from getting a bilingual website developed. It is great news then that the Welsh Language Board are funding such projects and encouraging small businesses in Wales to build bilingual websites.

If you are a small business or organisation looking for website design in Wales then it may be worth approaching the Welsh Language Board to see if you can get funding to translate and build a biliingual website.

Obviously the new project is exciting, but for me the fact that it is repeat business makes it even better. First of all it means that the client has been more than pleased with the work I have done for them in the past. I’ve already built a couple of websites for them so the fact that they keep coming back for more is great.

Secondly it means we already have a good working relationship and know what to expect from each other so the time invested developing such a relationship in the past means we are able to get straight down to work on the website project. This obviously saves time and money.

The website (or websites as it may turn out to be) are aimed at an expat community on the island of Sakhalin. The full brief has yet to be finalised but it should be starting with a classifieds feature and a personal/dating section. These will be built using commercially available scripts to keep the price and development time down. I shall keep you up to date here as the project develops.

As always there is a large selection of templates available, all at great prices. Now you have the perfect staring point for a modern, CSS driven website.

Bryn Siriol Dental Practice based in Mold, north Wales offer a range of dental care services for all the family. Their new website will outline the dental services they offer and provide other information about the practice, including a ‘Meet the Team’ page.

The website will be easy to navigate and conform to modern web standards making it both accessible and search engine friendly whilst having a modern, clean and professional look. It also has to incorporate the following ‘friendly’ logo!

Slick Activewear produce T-shirts, clothing and accessories aimed mainly at the adventure sports market. With garments for mountain bikers, surfers, snowboarders, kayakers and many other outdoor sports their should be something in their range for everyone. Their new online shop allows you to browse through and purchase their original designs.

The website also gives complete control of the catalogue and product details to the shop owners, allowing them to keep the catalogue up to date with their latest products via an easy to use online control panel.

Pixelwave Web Design wish them all the best with their new shop and look forward to working on their next project.
