Web sites and Portals
Purepages Group is an award winning company based in the Manchester area with over 15 years’ experience in designing, developing and programming websites, portals and more sophisticated high end business solutions. The company moved in 2007 to Church Bank in Bolton, Greater Manchester, an oasis of calm within the town centre. This move was a reflection on how well the company was performing, growth at an increasing acceleration and the need for proximity to Manchester, arguably the UK’s primary centre of multi-media development.
With a long history of Internet development and newly acquired status as a Google Adwords Professional company, our valued clients for website design and search engine marketing are primarily medium to large commercial businesses. Of interest, we are now taking instructions on major projects for UK charities at an ever increasing rate.
Similarly, Automotive, a seriously revitalised market sector at the moment thanks to the UK Government’s scrappage scheme, is a major focus for the web site side of the company. Our creative efforts are increasingly becoming more important to our Swansway Motor Group clients such as Stoke Audi or Crew VW, both of whom have had great results with leasing and used car subsidiary micro sites. Have a look at the UK Audi Leasing portal which has been especially productive. Our efforts in creating highly visible and comprehensive car search functionalities within the several dozen websites and portals designed for the automotive trade have also been extremely useful in keeping car sales vaguely in touch with downsized budgets. It was decided that other car websites provide an over complicated method to search their websites and that you only ever really need 3 fields to search for a car, the model, the price and the fuel type. With such a simple search system, the website was instantly a hit.
For us to quote for a website, say, we generally require a robust brief in writing, containing, inter alia, performance and market penetration expectations. Our quoted price is based on the total cost of the website so there are no hidden extras. Most, if not all sites are linked into a back office CMS, which means that you personally control the content on the site. The upside being that every time you need a change doing to the website you do not need to refer back to the people who designed it and therefore considerably reduces your running costs. Just want to enquire that’s fine too, you can contact us here.
SaaS Development
SaaS and entails providing software solutions via the Internet on a cost per month (similar to lease or rental) basis. This makes sophisticated business software solutions much more affordable because there is no massive upfront payment for anything.
For example, whereas a few years ago if your solicitor’s practice required a CMS or a client management system, you might have to pay well into six figures for the privilege, Purepages now has a SaaS product, www.purelyclients.com, for lease at around £250 per month for a small 2-partner practice. Not only is a major cash flow saving, as there is no capital asset purchase, the product is upgraded for free as development work moves forward. It is important to not confuse SaaS with cloud computing – cloud computing can be running and storing your data on several servers spread out all over the World. SaaS, however, is considered much more robust and secure as your operating programme and data files are all working from one box in a secure UK server farm or datacentre.
ASBAH, the major UK charity working with people who have either spina bifida or hydrocephalus, commissioned another large SaaS project from Purepages Group recently – a client and contact management programme for maintaining working relationships with its service user clients.
