DESIGN

We help our clients find, nurture, and maintain profitable online and offline relationships; be it with their customers, business partners, or in-house resources, enabling them to communicate effectively through all media and achieve their business goals and visions.

We combine the skills of dedicated design professionals and the power of leading-edge technology to deliver fully integrated communication solutions.


Tape has established relationships with leading copywriters and marketing consultants delivering maximum brand impact.


Whilst building unified and consitent brands we also believe in selecting design approaches appropriate to each type of media so that the strength of each medium is fully realised.


Designing primarily for websites built on content management systems (CMS) we ensure that our designs are both flexible so that they can easily accommodate various types of content and future expansions to the site. Our dynamic webpages also seamlessly integrate both the dynamic and static content whilst maintaining brand consistency and usability.


W3C, CSS1 and CSS2 standards are all met where required. Web usability and cross platform accessibility are all important factors in our designs.
