Want to integrate your static HTML website into WordPress theme?

At Red Ant Media we can take your existing website and build it into a WordPress theme for you, giving you the flexibility of a WordPress content management system for your organisation to use, while keeping your site design and brand consistent.

WordPress is a powerful tool for driving traffic to your site, however integrating an existing html site into the theme and template system is not always an easy task.

One of the best things about WordPress is that its internal structure for content delivery can be as simple or as complicated as you like. The back end can rely on just one file to deliver your content at the front end, or can take full advantage of the thirteen unique file types, the specific variations of these file types and an additional internal template referencing system.

At Red Ant Media we have the expertise in the WordPress backend and understand how it works. We can offer you the best advice on developing and integrating your existing site into a WordPress theme, taking into consideration both the objectives of your website and its existing structure.

A WordPress theme can then be built for you from the html code that makes up your current website.

Contact Red Ant Media today about converting your existing website into a powerful WordPress content management system.

Looking for a company that can convert your PSD, EPS, TIF, JPG, JPEG or PDF “flat file” web designs to HTML for use in your website or content management system?

Red Ant Media offers this service to both companies who have had a website designed and now need it built as well as other agencies looking to outsource their programming and HTML templates to a third party provider.

We can take your supplied files from Photoshop, Illustrator, Fireworks, CorelDRAW, PaintShop, Inkscape, FreeHand or any other graphics software and convert it to valid HTML, XHTML and CSS for you.

Red Ant Media tests all of our code to be W3C compliant (See the W3C Help & FAQ for further information) before supply. This guarantees that our files perform to both web standards, are built correctly and meet client expectations.

Our HTML sites and web templates are currently built using XHTML 1.0 Transitional and CSS level 2.1. Should you require different specifications to these we are happy to oblige!

Contact Red Ant Media today to discuss converting your existing website designs into live websites and HTML templates.

Part of our core business at Red Ant Media is the design, development and implementation of corporate identity for small to medium business. In the last 8 years we have worked on over 50 brand specific projects for a variety of organisations, from owner/operator start-ups to international companies of over 200 employees.

Red Ant Media has been the leading agency in over half of these projects, designing, developing and implementing all aspects of the brand, from the logo through to the stationery, website, presentations and marketing collateral.

Specific experience in brand development and implementation by the Red Ant Media team include:

• The Ainsworth Game Technology Corporate Style Guide
  Red Ant Media developed Ainsworth’s Corporate Style Guide, a 42 page document supplied on CD as an interactive PDF, outlining the application of all of the company’s visual collateral. From our initial concepts all we then supplied press-ready art and digital templates, documented for consistency of use. Included were identity representation (logotype, variations and ratios), stationery (business cards, letterheads, With Comps slips and envelopes), digital media (MS Office templates, website considerations and email signatures) and presentation (signage, packaging and publications).
• Staging Connections Brand Rollout
  Red Ant Media were the lead design agency for implementing Staging Connections’ rebranding across all departments and locations. Working closely with the advertising agency that developed the new brand concepts, we oversaw the production and development of press ready templates, digital media templates, internal publications, promotional materials and signage.
• GSL – Gem Studies Laboratory
  GSL (Gem Studies Laboratory) had been in business for over 20 years and despite being one rated as one of the best gem testing facilities in the world they were failing to attract new customers as their image did not reflect their position in the market place. Red Ant Media developed a recognisable corporate identity for the company that extended from their logo to their stationery and their product range, a variety of certificates used to authenticate the results of their testing.

CMS Made Simple (CMSMS) provides a fast and easy way to create a web site and manage its contents.
It is a versatile content management system that can be used to make a simple brochure site to a complex portal.
Features include an integrated and online help system, modules, plugins, user and group management, template support (for unlimited looks), content hierarchy control and an integrated file manager with upload capabilities.

Some CMS Made Simple websites by Red Ant Media:

ModX is a very powerful Content Management Framework.
One of the key things to note about ModX is that it is not so much a Content Management System (CMS) as a Content Management Framework (CMF). That last word makes a big difference.

ModX is so powerful because it is designed to enable you to change everything. Normal CMSs require you to stick to certain methods of developing, updating and using their system. With ModX, everything can be customised on the site to suit your unique requirements, and doesn’t have to rely on the standards rules that many other systems implement.
ModX is one of the best website tools for SEO and on of the easiest to use as a site owner.
Red Ant Media have created websites with ModX for artists (Janet Selby) and Real Estate agents (Brigitte Stills Real Estate) alike.

With over 51 Million websites worldwide powered by it, WordPress is the world’s most popular CMS.
Wordpress is an extremely flexible website engine. Originally it was just a blogging tool, but it has now evolved into a fully-fledged website and content management solution for sites ranging from small blogs to enterprise level installs.

Red Ant Media have built several sites using the WordPress engine (including this one!). With over 15 Thousand different plugin extensions available, the possibilities and capabilities of this system are ever growing. (To find out more about some of the plugins in use on this site, see here.)
Wordpress was born of a desire for a more aesthetic, web standards compliant and usable tool for creating websites. They have acheived that and more.

Windows / IIS is one of the best known serving platforms in the world.

It is secure, reliable and easy-to-use.

IIS Hosting is suitable for businesses who have specific requirements that need IIS (some web-based software) and businesses with large, static websites.

Due to the security settings, it is not always ideal for hosting CMS solutions, as it does not allow for URLs (web addresses) to be rewritten to “pretty URLs”.

Red Ant Media’s Windows hosting plans are tuned for higher demand websites that need more bandwidth and more diskspace.

If you have different requirements for your Windows hosting, contact us to put together a specific quote for you.
