Showcase Examples of Recent Work
The following websites have all been designed and created by HighwaySoft and show examples of the technologies implemented and how they integrate successfully into the client's business.
Piano Tuition
→ PHP
→ SEO
→ Flash
→ Extranet Admin System
The Piano Tuition website is a good example of how an attractive and informative website can set you apart from the competition, allowing potential customers to see you and sample the services you have to offer before any rash prejudgements are made whilst compiling the 'short list'. Similar for many sole traders, customers play a lottery when selecting the services of someone, unless they have been recommended. Having a good website to promote your services and allow your potential clients to see you before they welcome you in, is a sure way to make it high on the short list.
Good Search Engine Optimisation also allows customers searching on the internet to find you above your competitors.

Saintz
→ PHP
→ SEO
→ Database
→ Extranet Admin System
The Saintz site is a prime example of utilising technology in order to streamline business operations. Saintz are a commercial live band consisting of 6 musicians plus support staff. Saintz wanted a system whereby users can log into an extranet site to access information such as: Calendar, Rehearsal Schedule, Gig Details, Music & Practise files, so that members can at anytime be kept fully up to date with access to the required information and files. The admin side of Saintz is now handled fully online. It has gradually grown over time, adding new functionality as and when required.
The site is fully Search Engine Optimised (SEO) to give excellent results in search engines.

Urban Ministry & Theology Project (UMTP)
Where websites work very effectively is in cases where key members of the organisation aren't centrally located. A good website will allow for information exchange and provide a focal point for all interaction. The UMTP is just such a case. The site was designed to firstly give an insight into the project itself, but to also deliver a vast wealth of content. Receiving much appraisal from the broad range of users who access the site, the UMTP site is a classic example of an entry level site.
