Contact form

A simple contact form on your website can help turn visitors into customers by making it easy for them to ask a question or enquire about a service.  It needn't be complex with a lot of fields to fill in - in fact, the simpler the better.  An easy-to-use, quick-to-fill-in contact form encourages visitors to use it.  At AlbanyWebs we can place your contact form on a special page, or include it in a box on all the pages on your site, or somewhere in between. 

We can add a contact form to your existing AlbanyWeb website too, just ask.

The MouseAGE website details the work of an EU COST Action, examining mouse models in the use of examing age and age-related disease.  Like all COST Actions, MouseAGE represents a diverse community of scientists from many countries, and they needed a flexible public-facing website with some networking options for members of the network.

We started with our standard COST Action website package, which offered most of what MouseAGE required, including automated listings for events and news items.  However, we...

We created this website in accordance with the specifications for this Europoean COST Action, a networking project in atomic layer deposition research in Europe.  Starting with our basic COST Action package, we created a fully customised website with many extra features and custom content, including:

  • Special forms and templates to describe collaborations and publications, which could then be easily linked to other pieces of content such as Working Groups.
  • A customised member profile allowing easy and automated linkage to all...

This website was designed to showcase all the activities of this handbell group in Staffordshire, with the ambition of increasing their bookings for concerts and charitable events, and to recruit some new handbell ringers into the group.

For this we added an easy editable sidebar to list their upcoming events, and created clear links to information about the group.

Images are nice, but for a handbell choir, sound is better.  We added the ability to attach an brief audio clip...

Threads of Yoga is a the project that brought AlbanyWeb into being, and we are pleased to launch this project.  Not only is it a platform for easily finding a yoga class based on a variety of search parameters, it offers individual yoga teachers the opportunity for better exposure on search engines than they would get on their own.

The very simple interface lies on top of a complex relationship between classes, teachers, and venues, all cross-linked to each other...

The London Self-Directed Support Forum is an association of social care professionals and is dedicated to sharing best practice within the field.  The website forms part of their strategy to increase communication and participation amongst members, as well as to increase membership and raise awareness about social care issues. 

The Forum is run by a committee and therefore required a website that projected their aims very clearly, but also was extremely easy to update.  AlbanyWeb simplified the image uploading options...

Our newest AlbanyWebs website is a simple but powerful portfolio site for Scottish artist Sue Simpson.  Beginning with our standard website, we added an enhanced, accessible and fully-responsive slideshow that put her paintings and line of greetings cards front and centre.  In addition, Sue's website is the first of our projects that was designed to be best viewed on a tablet device, with elements of navigation floating around or below the centrally framed slideshows.

Sue's original website was built using Flash slideshows, which meant that it was not visible on many phones and tablets, and also meant that her ability to edit or add images and information was very limited.  As a result, the site grew a series of extra pages with additional information, that fell outwith the original design, and outwith the original (also Flash-based) navigation, and this made that information very hard to find.

We created a clean...

Sue Simpson is an Edinburgh-based artist who wanted an easier website for promoting her art, and to help sell her series of greetings cards.  Her previous website used a Flash slideshow to show her paintings, and was inflexible for adding further information (as well as invisible on many tablets and phones).  However, she liked the very simple appearance and the gallery-like space of her original design.

AlbanyWeb created a new website that framed each image in bright and soothing colours...

Elizabeth Wein is a best-selling Young Adult author who originally approached AlbanyWeb to convert her Google Sites site, so as to better display her novels.  Whilst the content remained the same, the new site was much easier for Elizabeth to update, and easier for her fans to navigate too.  We added:

  • a custom page layout to display and organise her catalogue of novels to better effect, including grouping into series. 
  • keyword-based menus, that would update automatically as new content was...
