It's 2009 and the paperless office is a practical reality - for some at least!

Our designers can create branded email signatures and .pdf templates which never fail to impress!

Domains & Hosting

When you look to put together any kind of web presence, be it a full website or just a simple holding page you will need a domain (i.e. www.mydomain.co.uk) and hosting (a system which makes your page(s) available to people looking for them.) We provide domain registration free of charge to new customers and our hosting tariff is very competitive indeed.

Email Accounts

Customers notice little details! There is no doubt that a hotmail, gmail, yahoo email account will work well, but what kind of impression does it give about your professionalism? We can register as many email accounts as you need, giving you webmail access or POP3/IMAP accounts on your computer, i.e. myemail@mydomain.co.uk

Our web design services cover County Durham and Newcastle Gateshead, and we create great value bespoke websites for any business.

Our website designs can be found on page one of every major search engine in even the most competitive online markets and you can be assured that your bespoke website design will be created with search engine optimisation in mind to give you the competitive edge. Thinkroomten can also provide access to grant funding and can often suggest grants which can cover your web design and graphic design costs.

Our ecommerce website design customers are now amongst the leaders in their fields and with our business support are effectively competing with the big household name brands.

We would rather not sell a website than supply our customers with anything less than the best. Bearing in mind the time and effort we take to bring you the most effective ecommerce websites we would suggest you invest the same time to research e-commerce before making your decision on which ecommerce web designer to choose. Unlike office supplies, computer equipment and the like, ecommerce websites are a relatively large purchase and your buying decision should be carefully considered. Our ecommerce websites are designed to generate revenue for your business and seeing our customers on page one of the search engines is our ultimate goal and we will work with you to make this a reality for your business.

Consultation

As little as 5 years ago the old saying ‘if you build it they will come’ was true of websites; in today’s online marketplace this is no longer the case. A website that looks homemade will not encourage customers to hand over their credit card details in an age of identity theft and credit card fraud. To successfully sell online a website must be well designed, user friendly and 100% secure. There are many web designers in the North East and the UK who can supply websites at a cheaper cost but as a rule you get what you pay for. Very cheap websites are more often than not quickly and carelessly edited template designs with little thought for a business’ very specific requirements and little chance of effectively competing in an ever increasingly competitive online marketplace.

When you deal with us you don’t simply get a website, we can provide you with the complete package and this includes a bespoke design that is created in accordance with your requirements and which will be in the strongest position to achieve both search engine rankings and sales. If you are as pleased as our previous customers with our designs and the all round service you received please feel free to tell other people about us, our reputation is built on this kind of recommendation and has gone some way in enhancing our position as one of the leading web design agencies in the North East.

After browsing our site, if any further clarification is needed as to the effectiveness of our designs please take a look at the selection of editorials and reviews about our customers which have been featured in a number of national publications. As part of our commitment to improving our prospective customers online experience we welcome any suggestions as to how we may improve the functionality of our website. If you have any feedback or ideas we want to hear from you, please contact us via the relevant page of our website.

To conclude, if you are considering investing in a website or you would like all of your business’ design, photography and print to be handled by one single County Durham and Newcastle Gateshead based company you have certainly arrived at the right website. Whether you are looking for bespoke web design, product photography or business card design we are confident we can fulfil all your expectations and more.

Photography Services

One of the most crucial aspects of any ecommerce website is its product photography and the quality of the images used has been proven to have a direct effect on performance and turnover. Like all our graphic design and web design services our range of photography services is extensive and covers every aspect of photography required for your business. As a result we are widely regarded as one of the leading suppliers of photography for web and print in the North East. We offer a complete image service, including original photography and product photography with digital photo re-touching and state of the art photography equipment, making Thinkroomten a one-stop-shop for all of your design & photography needs. If you can find another comparable company providing the complete photography, design, branding and creative business support services of Thinkroomten we would be not just surprised, but astounded. Our photography service can have a huge impact on the presentation of your website, we have a full spec studio with high power flash equipment and a complete high resolution digital image capture system and we can shoot even the trickiest products on any backdrop required.
