Coding web sites
Are you looking for a new website or are you looking to modify / update an existing website?
The visual design of your website says a lot about your business. I can easily integrate your corporate branding into
the design or create a fresh new look with a unique design. God, I love this webdesign malarkey. So what exactly is a 'fresh' look everyone talks so much about? What I am trying to say here, is that I code websites, which do not look as if they were designed in accordance with webdesign standards of the early 90's.
E-commerce
Online sales. An excellent solution for small businesses. Be wary though - if you do not have an established customer base or really good prices then you might be disappointed. If people decide to buy online then they expect to see some realy good offers. Your competitors are not two hundred yards farther down the street - they are two clicks away. As everything in life, serious e-commerce costs money. In the end, the people that handle money transfers need food too. Surprising, I know. Personally I always thought they fed solely on our blood and sweat.
Browser optimisation
A guarantee your web site will display correctly in the most popular browsers such as Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome and Opera. A very important feature, due to the fact that many users are migrating away from Explorer. Browsers other than Explorer currently have a market share of about 35%. The sites also display correctly on Safari (Macs), however you can ignore this market, since most Macs are owned by penniless hipster-wannabe college students.
S.E.O.
Search Engine Optimisation. Search Engines are one of the most powerful marketing tools in the world as 80% of all online business comes from search engines. Let me be honest here - if anyone tells you they can get you to the top of Google listings within a few weeks then run. This is impossible to achieve, unless unfair tactics, such as link farming, are used. If Google finds out (and they most certainly will sooner or later) then your site will disappear from Google listings within a couple of weeks.
Branding & desktop publishing
In terms of logos, business cards, posters, leaflets etc. Helps apply consistent, professional look to company documents, letters etc.
You contact me, directly, without any middle men. I am always open to any suggestions or ideas, which means you have control over the direction in which your website is going.
I do not employ any SEO specialists, copywriters, designers, developers or marketing specialists who have to be paid. This cuts down the cost of design and development, since everything is done by me and only me.
I do not take on more than two jobs at a time, which means I can properly focus on the task at hand, without being distracted.
I know my way around graphics and modern web design technologies. The sites I build are search-engine friendly, simple, clear, usable and meet international standard for code 'cleanliness'. Every website I have built has been positively validated by the World Wide Web Consortium - an organization dedicated to the standardisation of website coding (see them buttons below the menu on the right-hand side?)
I do not use any outdated technologies such as frames, which are neither usable or pretty. I am careful when using Flash, unlike many webdesigners out there, since, at the time being, Flash cannot be correctly 'read' and indexed by search engines.
