Website design & development
I specialise in designing and developing bespoke, user friendly websites for a wide audience. The websites I design are tailor made to my client's specifications, are visually appealling and feature-full but also clear and easily navigable.
The websites I develop are created using semantic XHTML code, have redundancy features that allow them to work without Flash or Javascript and are thoroughly tested in all major internet browsers.
What do I do?
- I create tailor made designs for new websites and businesses
- I develop websites, content management systems, blogs and e-commerce solutions
- I code by hand, using semantic XHTML code and search engine optimisation techniques
- I support existing websites - providing updates, improvements and visitor reports as needed
- I manage the registration and renewal of domain names and provide website hosting
- I help my clients use social media to communicate with their customers
- I produce content for print - including business cards, posters and adverts
- I design, develop and report back on the performance of email newsletter campaigns
So, how is a website created?
Well to be honest, it can work however you want it to. If you want to meet face to face, we can do that; if you want to talk about your project over the phone, we can do that; or, if you want to do everything by email, we can do that too. To give you an idea though, many projects go something like this -
The first step is often a phone call or meeting to establish what is needed from the website. From this, I am able to write up a proposal on how I would plan to proceed with the project along with the costs and time scales involved.
If the proposal is accepted I immediately start working on the design of the website, sharing each draft of the design with my client, until it looks just the way they want it.
Once they're completely happy with the design of the website, I will start to develop it (code it) and will keep them updated as the work progresses. At this stage we can still make changes to the website if we identify any problems - it's important to me that the result is the best website possible.
Once the website has been fully coded, I will optimise the site to be search engine friendly and set up visitor tracking analytics as standard. If extra services have been requested, such as email addresses, social media accounts, or a PPC advertising campaign - I would set these up at this time.
Additionally, the client will have access to affordable, scalable website support and maintenance services as well as hosting, domain and email account management as required.
As with the websites I build, the packages I offer my clients are tailor made to best suit their individual circumstances. For a quote for your new website, advice or good places to go for more information, feel free to contact me today without obligation.
Case study - Lauraine's website
Lauraine: "I run a small business that historically works via word-of-mouth recommendations. However, in the current economic climate I was experiencing a fall in the number of customers I was serving as people were thinking twice about everything they spent and I was unsure what I could do to make 'the difference'."
