There are a number of good web
designers in Tenerife. Selecting which one is right for you can be confusing.
If you are considering contracting one of the companies below it would be
helpful for you to have given some thought to the following:
- What do you intend your new site to achieve? Do you expect it to make
sales directly, in which case will you be needing some form of shopping
cart and payment system?
- Do you have a clear idea of what you like in web site design - and
what you don't? Strange as it may seem many people decide they want a site
but give very little thought to how they want it to look. Gathering a
short list of sites you like, even if the topic is nothing to do with your
own, and being able to describe what it is that attracts you, will be very
helpful. You might say, I like this colour scheme but don't like the
navigation. Or... this website uses a lot of white space. It looks clean,
etc.
- Do you know how websites are found on the internet? In a minority of
cases, a site may fulfil its function without receiving any visitors via
the search engines. Even so, the web designer you choose should have a
solid understanding of search engine optimisation to give your site the
best chance to be found.
- How much content will your site contain? Will the content be presented
in different languages now or in the future? Do you have the content ready
as well as any graphics?

Mantra
Visual Communications
Based in Manchester and Tenerife, Mantra Visual have some striking designs
under their belt. Their portfolio includes the sleek Planet Hollywood site
and the colourful Tene-reef-travellers dive site.
World
Tech Systems
This company's philosophy is that with more and more companies entering the
internet arena, a straightforward, plain html, search engine optimised site
is no longer enough. (That point is debatable but certainly, if you are
looking for something a little more sophisticated than plain html World Tech
Systems might be for you.)
eTenerife
Yours truly. I do sometimes take on a website design, but I am not a
talented designer. Those sites that I have built are exactly
what World Tech Systems considers old hat - plain old, search engine
optimised html with a shocking lack of bells and whistles. If that is what
you are looking for then go ahead and give me a call. My real forte is in search engine optimisation. I can
tell you why your expensive site is not being found on the internet and work
with your designer to improve on that situation.
