our philosophyStuart and Brett (Directors) have achieved terrific loyalty and understanding amongst our team, through considerate handling, resulting in work fulfillment and loyalty.The Lava team is very effective in brainstorming your requirements and putting forward creative suggestions. You, our clients, benefit because Lava will interpret your ideas and help to evolve your specifications.

Client Handling Project Management is a key to Lava’s success. Your designated Account Manager will help guide you through a logical process, and providing suggestions and options along the way. This ensures a genuinely collaborative process where you can make decisions with confidence. Lava also has a proven track record in working with in-house IT teams, and build to their requirements.

Marketing Focus Lava is different. We approach our work from a strategic marketing perspective rather than focusing solely on the technical. In planning an appropriate solution, we want to learn about your offering, audience and industry. This way, we can develop truly integrated solutions. Our experienced team can also help by creating comprehensive online marketing strategies.

Design Edge Unlike many web developers, Lava uses professional graphic designers that are solely responsible for the aesthetics of your website. We tailor all elements and do not use templates. This ensures a certain level of polish, and a distinct visual advantage over your competitors.

Simplicity Lava’s team places great emphasis on usability and accessibility, and our solutions are pitched appropriately. For example, Lava’s intuitive, self-evident navigation accommodates users of varying levels of IT literacy. We will also guide you with planning the structure of your website.
