Websites
With almost 10 years' experience and having developed more than 100 websites and newsletters, we can develop any kind of website: from straightforward, "brochure-style" websites to tailor-programmed, CMS driven online advertising platforms with full social networking and e-commerce integration.

We start every design from an empty page (no templates) and handcode almost every single piece of programming code. We specialise in custom-made, interactive websites.

Our in-house developed OBA Content Management System (CMS) allows you to maintain your website from your own computer. You log in to the main Dashboard, select the section of your website you wish to maintain, and voila, you edit, add or delete content (text and images) in real time.

Every CMS is custom-programmed for each and every website, which allows us to fine-tune the CMS to your specific needs. We don't confuse you with 1000s of options, and you don't need a degree in rocket science to get started. You will be running your website within minutes, promise.

Mobi sites
How does your website look on a smartphone? More and more people view your website on an iPhone, Blackberry or other smartphone - rather than on a computer. But smartphones have tiny screens, and often a slow internet connection. Most standard websites look bad on a smartphone, and are impossible to navigate!

We develop websites that are optimised for mobile viewing: they look great on small screens and download quickly, while displaying the same (scaled down) content. We add "auto-detection" in your website: your website will display different versions according to the device it is being viewed on - simply by browsing for one and the same URL (so you don't need a separate .mobi domain)

How we work
Larger agencies can often be sluggish and imposing in structure and processes. We at Online Brand Ambassadors run a tight ship to ensure deadlines are met, and to guarantee you always deal directly with the designer / programmer.

We don't live in a shiny creative bubble. We value your input, and our ideas always serve to fine-tune your suggestions. We will make a few suggestions of our own, for sure, but after all, nobody knows your brand like yourself!

We've heard many stories from clients relating to their past experience of working with a creative agency. They are completely bowled over by an outstanding agency pitch - slick, memorable, brilliant. They meet the Managing Director, the Creative Director and an experienced Account Director. Having totally bought into the sell, the project is commissioned and the A-Team is never to be seen again. This is where we at Online Brand Ambassadors are different.

At Online Brand Ambassadors, you deal directly with the designer / programmer, all the time. We offer a first-class consultative service from start to finish. Our clients rightly demand top level strategic thinking during the creative process and we deliver this consistently across all our project stages.

Handcrafted
Unlike most other online marketing and design companies, we start every design from an empty page. This means that we design your online brand campaign (website, newsletters, social media) from the first pixel and handcode the programming that drives your website, piece by piece.

This makes every website we produce unique, one of a kind, and 100% in line with your instructions. Because that's what we can, after 8 years and more than 100 websites.

Tools of the trade
We like to believe that state of the art designs and applications require state of the art equipment (and lots of freshly ground coffee). While staying up to date with all the latest programming techniques and design trends via an array of newsletter subscriptions and forums, we test all our designs on Apple/Mac (Safari, Firefox, Chrome) and Microsoft Windows (Internet Explorer).

Apple, Adobe and Nikon are our house brands of choice. Websites and newsletters are programmed in HTML, CSS, JQUERY, PHP and MYSQL. We use Adobe Dreamweaver as our HTML editor, and MAMP as our PHP/MYSQL testing server. Our OBA Content Management System is based on PHP and MYSQL, and fully handcoded. Photography equipment includes the Nikon D90.
