Website design and development

I produce a range of professional-end websites to cater for small and medium-sized businesses. All my projects are treated as a bespoke design and development exercise and are individually tailored to a client's exact requirements.

My website projects range in size and complexity from a small, single-page web presence to cost-effective, data-driven web applications incorporating full-featured content editors and e-commerce tools.

Standards-compliant, accessible websites...

I develop web pages in XHTML, ASP, ColdFusion, JavaScript, AJAX and CSS. Functionality and ease-of-use is a foremost consideration when I go about designing any web-based project and I take great pride in ensuring that all my websites adhere to W3C guidelines regarding standards compliance and accessibility.

     

Content Management Systems...

I can integrate full-featured, online content editors into a website allowing you to update your content efficiently and effortlessly using only a web browser. These systems allow you to edit the content of your website with the minimum of technical know-how, however; I can provide full documentation and on-site training if required.

Multimedia support...

I offer a range of enhanced multimedia features that can make any web page come to life. I regulalry create such content using a mix of Flash, Shockwave, progressive download or streaming video and audio files.

Search engine marketing and promotion...

I take the business of search engine optimisation and marketing very seriously. For any business, getting potential customers to find them on the internet is every bit as vital as having a well-designed, eye-catchy website. I help clients gradually develop their internet presence using a variety of online marketing techniques.

Website hosting...

When it comes to hosting your website, I recommend Pipe Ten. Pipe Ten offer a range of web hosting solutions on both Linux and Windows 2003 servers. All web hosting packages are housed in Pipe Ten's UK data centres in Sheffield and Derby. There are a range of packages to choose from to suit your budget from cost-effective shared hosting accounts to dedicated, managed and unmanaged servers. I have recommended PipeTen to my customers for many years because of their reliable service and their fast, 24-hour online technical support.

 

Cost-effective website design for small businesses...

In running a small business myself, I fully understand that there are many hurdles that a fledgling business must face in order to get off to a flying start. The first two years for any small business are the most critical, so by making use of the internet to promote your business in its early days is a fast-track way to access your potential marketplace.

Having a well-designed website to sell your products and services is fundamental to your business; so is having a like-minded web designer that can offer you all the help and advice you need on your route to success.
