Website Design Abbreviations



Here at Force 4 - we promise never to bamboozle you with any website design "lingo", but have you ever wondered what any of it stands for?  Here are a handful and their brief explanations:


.png =                   Stands for: "Portable Network Graphics". This file type uses lossless compression and is similar to a GIF. It’s meant for use on the web and can’t be used in a CMYK (print) colour space. Unlike GIF files PNG does not support animation.

Hero =                  A common term used to refer to the main image on a homepage or landing page.

Recent Project - Eden Flowers




We have recently finished a website for a florist in Winscombe, Somerset.


Gail, the owner for the last 9 years, has never had an online presence and instructed Force 4 Computing to design a neutral/pastel toned website where customers could view her gallery of floral displays and find her contact information.

We were given a photo of her shop sign to work with and from that we re-produced her logo and followed the colour palette.  We produced a gallery of her floral displays, along with a rolling gallery of photos from her customer's weddings and testimonials.

Getting your local business to show up better in the search results with Google Plus....




If your local business doesn’t have a presence on Google Plus then you are missing out! Google+  is Google’s social networking platform, which has rapidly evolved.

Why should you instruct us to create a Google+ business profile? Well, it is owned and operated by Google of course.  Google Places for Business / Google+ profiles do have some perks in getting ranked/indexed by Google.  You may have noticed whilst performing a Google search, some local businesses are listed with a map (Places) listing to the right hand side.  


You increase the odds of getting highly targeted visitors from Google’s organic search results if you have a Google Plus account.

Force 4 Computing have many years experience managing business Google My Business accounts.  Even if we don't manage your website, we can still help you!  Let us manage and enhance your Google local business listing, pinpoint the exact location of your business (which also displays an option to provide directions to your premises), state your opening hours, publish photos, state the category and description of your business.  We can also provide you with clear, printed instructions, for you to give to your customers to provide Reviews on Google which will, in turn, rank you even higher in the local search results!
