Our office will be closed from today until 9am on Tuesday 3rd January 2012.

Even though our office is closed, all our servers will be continuously monitored 24/7 and we have staff on-call should there be any issues.

If you need to contact us during the closure, please either leave a message by calling our normal number (messages are automatically emailed to on-call staff) or visit our support page to raise a ticket.

Thank you!

We've had an exceptionally busy year and are eternally grateful to our clients for their continued support. We really appreciate all the referrals, in fact these are the basis of our business because aside from our website, we don't do any paid marketing.

Without this overhead it keeps our pricing very competitive and throughout the year we have always delivered on our promises. We've built and upgraded more websites this year than ever before!

As many of you know we're expanding our team too in order to ensure we continue to provide the high level of service and have the capacity our clients have come to expect. As we have grown we've been able to provide better features, faster responses and more backup - the things you need to make your website a success long term. We take the risk out of web development and have a solid track record.

If you know anyone you think we can help, please do pass on our details, we really appreciate it.

We had a lot of fun designing Christmas themes this year, many clients have reported great comments from their customers.

We wish you a Merry Christmas & Prosperous New Year

Thanks again for your support this year, from everyone here at 2D, we wish you a very merry Christmas and a prosperous new year.

Web Marketing

We are looking for a highly motivated and organised individual to expand our current web marketing team.

2D Product Photography, and why product photography is important

A well known and old saying states, “A picture is worth a thousand words.” this is never more true than when trying to convert visitors to your web site into paying customers. Clear, crisp and high resolution images for use on your online shop increases sales and lends credibility to the products for sale, as well as to the company selling them.

Using Stock Photography

Tasteful use of professional looking images can really bring a website design to life and help to emphasise your key selling points. Of course, that's not to say there aren't some advantages to being in a position to take all of your own photographs or design your own images, it could be a good way to show customers your work environment and get to know your company better. However, when it comes to high quality professional photos to show off your company’s product domain, or to give a little bit of flare to a text heavy area of a site, not everyone running a business owns and knows how to use an SLR camera with expensive lenses combined with a good working knowledge of Photoshop or Illustrator.
