Welcome to affordable web design in Newcastle

e-geek is a web design co-operative based in Newcastle, Australia. We create websites that are attractive, usable and versatile. Our websites are built to web standards and utilise the latest tools and techniques. We can create any custom website or web application you desire. We also provide very affordable website packages suitable for most small to medium sized organisations, be it an online shop, campaign tool, blog, forum or simple brochure style website.

But there are hundreds of web design firms out there that say the same thing, so...

What's special about e-geek?

  • We make it a top priority to ensure that our clients are happy. Most clients come to us having been referred by a previous happy client, and we like it that way.
  • We specialise in creating websites that are easy to update by non web-savvy people, saving our clients thousands of dollars.
  • By determining what our clients actually want, we can produce unique and professional websites that are suited to their needs.
  • We speak in plain English, we like our clients to understand what they're getting and how to use it, and we like to make that as easy as possible.
  • For custom websites or services we provide a straight-forward development proposal up-front to ensure that everyone is happy with the results.
  • We answer support requests promptly and thoroughly.
  • We can produce anything from an aesthetically pleasing e-commerce website to a complex and dynamic information portal.
  • There are no lock-in contracts or on-going fees for the Content Management Systems we use.

What's special about e-geek websites?

We build most websites with a Content Management System (CMS). In short, a CMS provides features that facilitate and automate the maintenance, organisation and display of content. Using a CMS allows us to build versatile, user-friendly and attractive websites at a very reasonable price. Best of all, they can be easily maintained by non tech-savvy people, or more quickly and cost effectively by a web designer.

Multi-purpose website packages

A multi-purpose website package allows you to create a professional on-line presence at the lowest possible price. This package includes all the features that most websites need and more. It's ideal for:

  • on-line shops and e-commerce,
  • blogs,
  • information portals,
  • campaign websites,
  • brochure style websites,
  • photo and image galleries,
  • bulletin boards, forums and discussions boards,
  • any combination of the above and much more...

The following options are available:

  • Full featured e-commerce system.
  • Custom graphic design matched to your requirements.
  • Send professional news letters from your website.

Custom web design

If you need a website with a few custom features or functions not available in our standard package, or a complex custom web application, e-geek can build it. If you have only vague notions of what you want, we'll help you crystallise them. If you know exactly what you want, we'll just make it happen!

The Content Management System (CMS) we use is highly extensible, providing an ideal platform for rapidly building new features and applications, making it easy for us to fulfill your requirements quickly and cost effectively.

Some examples of custom features we've developed are:

  • on-line databases for trading, information sharing, collaboration and campaigning,
  • user-friendly geographical map tools,
  • custom locality searches by postcode,
  • event registration, and
  • donation systems.

Collaboration and intranet

While our websites lend themselves to collaboration, there are also other useful tools to help organisations collaborate such as wikis, on-line databases and mailing lists. We'll consult with you about how your organisation can most effectively use these tools, and provide a solution to suit your organisation's needs.
