IDEATOACTION Offer a full range of logistical and marketing support solutions. This division began in 2001 as a service for clients who were simply 'losing control' of the collateral. Clients had pallets of materials taking up valuable office space, and the re-ordering of stationery was always 'someone else's job'. Out of stocks were common, and holding up invoice runs. Urgent jobs always attracted a premium charge, merchandise went missing, and printing was sometimes done inadvertently with out of date files.

A site build will usually occur over a 6 week period, beginning with an information gathering stage, site map discussion, text compilation and imagery gathering, culminating in a document for sign-off. From there home page and level 2/3 template pages are designed and presented. Once signed off, the site is built and made live.

In most instances, IDEATOACTION will recommend the deployment of a Content Management System (CMS) in conjunction with the site build, as it adds a level of flexibility on-going.
