Frontend Solutions will offer a full range of Information Design
services with an emphasis on website development. These services are available individually
or can be combined for an integrated frontend website design package.
Website hosting
Small to medium sized websites can be hosted on our secure web server which is located in
the TransACT Data Centre in Canberra. We can provide email addresses and FTP access to
your data files and a monthly website traffic statement. Assistance can be given to choose
and register a domain name and associate that name with your website.
Website development
We can address any website development brief or take clients through the process of
creating a brief or site specification. We will work with a client to ensure that the
final outcome works within the client's business and marketing plan and that the project
is completed on time and within the budget.
