Welcome to Aardstorm

This is a small, UK-based company offering a variety of services through this and other websites. Through this site, we are offering a number of support services of relevance to small businesses, freelance professionals, and other organisations. These include a simple website design, hosting and management service, together with supporting research, authoring, picture location and creation (including custom photography) services. You are also welcome to use our supporting services individually, or in combination without our website service. For example, by combining our authoring and picture services, we can help you produce almost any type of document, with any combination of text and graphics, for distribution either electronically or on paper.

Website Design, Hosting and Management

This service is for small businesses or other organisations that want a simple advertising or informational website, but do not require full e-commerce facilities. We will design a new website for you, in accordance with your requirements, then host it on our servers and manage it for you. All you will then need to do is respond to queries about your business from your potential customers, and inform us of any changes you may wish to make to your site. We will look after all queries about the site itself, leaving you free to concentrate on running your business.

Research and Authoring Service

This service is for anyone who wants information or an article written about a specific subject, but lacks the time or knowledge to do it themselves. At your request, we will search the internet and other publicly available sources for information on the topic of your choice. We can then either simply provide that information to you in note form, with directions to the sources found, or we will write some form of article, report, or presentation for you based on that information. The resulting article could be used to support your website (whether managed by ourselves or by somebody else), to improve its usefulness to your customers and also its search engine ranking. Alternatively, we can supply almost any form of electronic or paper document you require, to be published in any way you choose. We can also produce documents based on information that you supply us with, rather than information we have searched for. This can include rewriting, or even simply converting, an existing document into a different format.

Picture Location and Creation Service

This service is intended to support the website design and authoring services introduced above, by providing illustrations, backgrounds, special text effects, or other graphic elements. We can locate, and license on your behalf, one or more pictures to meet your requirements from commercial sources such as one of the many picture libraries, or we can take suitable photographs of the subject(s) that you specify. We can also create a wide range of graphs and charts from numerical information, and create images from scratch using basic shapes, lines, patterns and text. We can then manipulate and/or combine pictures and graphics in a variety of ways to produce exactly the image(s) you require. You can also supply us with photographs or other pictures that we will then convert, modify, and combine as necessary to produce your images.
