Since our inception, we've delivered websites for clients selling a service or product to consumers. Unlike business to business, our business to consumer projects tend to have more of a visual impact and a bigger focus on the creative side of web design.

As the saying goes 'a picture paints a thousand words' and this is especially true in the realm of marketing services and products to the general public.

Our projects in this sector showcase our ability to take a brief and push the aesthetic envelope to make our customers' business stand out from the crowd, making their shop front on the web come to life with vibrant colour, a slick layout and striking photography to create a strong and successful visual message.

An ecommerce website represents the next step up from what's termed in the industry as 'a brochure website', and in a nutshell is simply putting a client's shop or catalogue onto their website and tieing it into their bank to allow their customers to buy online.

A huge growth area in the UK economy, online spending amongst UK consumers alone is currently around £9 billion a year. This is growing at a huge rate - Experian (via the PayPal UK Online Retail Report) forecasts that by the end of 2011 this will rise by 137% to £21.3 billion.

Our projects in this sector (which comprises projects from all walks of business) focus on making sure the website itself has a strong foundation to build out from - e.g. a great design and technical build - before creating a rich but smooth user experience where customers can buy products online.

Security is a key requisite of any ecommerce project we undertake for our clients, and as such we're happy to take care of this by purchasing security certificates and ensuring that sites are hosted in the mose secure and safe manner possible.

Don't just take out word for it though - read the thoughts of the UK Office for National Statistics: "E-commerce is having a huge impact on the way we do business. It can lead to dramatic growth in trade, increase markets, improve efficiency and effectiveness and can transform business processes."

While we've built the foundations of TML on private enterprise and entrepreneurs looking for a web presence to bring their ideas to a wider market, we've latterly moved into the public sector and had great success in doing so.

Working hand in hand with government agencies, county councils, schools, the NHS, motoring groups and organisations as well as public-funded projects, we've produced some of our finest and most successful work driving home safety initiatives, providing information on hospitals and medical services and delivering government guidelines online.

We've gathered great experience in the art of bringing ideas to reality in this area. Working amongst steering groups and committees, we know how to manage everyone's ideas and build the right solution to fit the goal.

We're proud of our work in the charity sector and looking forward as a business welcome any interest from charities interested in bringing their cause to the web.

Our unique position with local funding agencies allows us to represent any charitable client with the goal of achieving a grant towards the overall cost of a website.
