About OPWS Website Design

About me, actually. I'm David Heriot and I run OPWS. I've been 'in' technology for about 28 years, including 19 years with good ol' IBM. But I've also run my own music technology company (called MusicWriter if you want to know) and marketing consultancy called PFS Consulting. Using technology for marketing interests me and I've been selling, fixing and marketing interactive technology for a long time. Now I run OPWS (and pfsweb - an online marketing company) because I believe that it's about time that every business, every small and medium sized business, started to use the power of the Internet.

OPWS lets you take control

Apart from modern, clean website design, the best thing about OPWS websites is that your website is under your control, which means that you can edit, maintain and even add new pages. In other words, you don’t need to revert back to us each time you want to change a comma on your home page!

OPWS Technology

I don't normally talk technology, but if you want to know, I build sites using XHTML and Cascading Style Sheets, or CSS for short. In the old days (and a lot of web designers are still in the old days), tables were used to design website page structures. Not here. CSS is the modern, flexible way to write websites, because the content is divorced from the style, which makes it much easier to change style, and much quicker to load and respond to user interaction.

OPWS Privacy Policy

Simple. If you give me any information about you or your business, it stays with me. I don't sell it and only use it to send you emails if you've subscribed.
Since you're here, take a look at some websites we've designed - then perhaps you'll believe that being in control of your new shiny website sounds like a good idea. So go on, drop us a line
