The Internet and especially the World Wide Web is an exciting new world. There are so many wonderful things happening and we just love working in that space. Whether you’re new to the web or you know your way around, Starlifter is here to help.

Web Design and Development

Starlifter Media designs and develops functional and standards compliant web sites using best practice which work in all popular browsers. Our design ethos follows the K.I.S.S. principle ‘Keep It Simple Stupid’ as we strongly believe that your content or product should be the focal point of of your site, not the site design itself.

In the past we have made and maintained sites for musicians, artists, radio stations, writers, but we are capable of making all kinds of sites.

To enable you to potentially update the site yourself we build it using a Content Management Systems (CMS). We primarily use Wordpress for small to medium sites and Silverstripe or Drupal for medium to large sites. Although if there is a CMS that you’re more familiar with we would be more than happy to look into that for you.
