Xylos Website Features & Benefits
You Control Your Content
Xylos provides you with much more than a simple static website. We provide you with a website with a back-end Content Management System. This provides you with the considerable benefit that it enables you to login and easily create your own updates to your website through a simple user interface. Updating text, adding new blog posts or updating event dates or prices is easy. Of course we will happily do this for you, but naturally we charge a fee for our services, so if you have the time and inclination you can do this yourself for free. We will even train you how to do it . Either way, you have total control of your website to ensure it is always up to date and relevant.
Improve your Mobile experience
Over 70% of browsing is now done on mobile devices such as phones and tablets. Our websites are optimised for mobile, tablet or PC – essentially we design 3 different sites – all sharing the exact same content, but designed to display on different browsing platforms.
When you visit one of our websites, our code detects what device you are viewing it on and directs you to the layout that best suits your platform. This ensures your website looks great wherever it is viewed.
Off the Shelf or Tailor Made Solutions.
Time is money.
After we have defined your hosting requirements, the number of pages required and the overall size and complexity of your website, one of the biggest influences on development time, and therefore the cost of your website, is down to design considerations.
There are three basic options:
Template based Websites
We can use a professional template with a predefined layout and design complete with images. We can add your logo and customise colours and fonts and can build an excellent website using a template.
- Pro's - The fastest and cheapest way to get your business a slick, mobile friendly website.
- Con's - your website design is not unique to you. Other business may have used the same template and therefore share the same design and images. Additionally you have to fit your marketing content to the template.
Custom & Bespoke Websites
Custom - we design your website from a blank slate using a combination of stock photography combined with your existing logos, graphics and photography provided by you.
Bespoke – we design your website from a blank slate and all of the text, graphic design and photography is created specifically for your website.
- Pro's - Your website is unique giving you a crucial competitive edge in the highly crowded web space. A custom website is adapted to your exact business needs, can scale as your business grows and will rank higher in search engines due to its unique content.
- Con's - Time is money! The end product is unquestionably better, but it will take longer to develop and therefore cost more.
In reality these are not three distinct options, think of them more as points on a scale of development time, and therefore cost, with a Template based design providing the cheapest option and Bespoke design being the one requiring most time to develop.
The more content you can provide, such as existing text, logos, images, mailing lists and social media, the more cost effective your website development will be.

To use an analogy, if you want to build a house, the first thing you need is a plot of land to build it on. In the same way, if you are going to build a website, you need web space to host it on. And to continue the analogy, just as your house needs an address so people know where to find you, so does your website. That is your Domain Name. In our case our domain name is xylos.co.uk
Happiness is not something ready made.
It comes from your own actions.
If you are in the market for a new website, we really should talk...
