These are the services that I offer.
Web design
OK - so the clue's in the name. But not all web designers are the same. Sometimes it seems like everyone with an interest in computers is offering websites - almost as an afterthought. But should you trust your online identity to that pc-repair-guy or that well-meaning friend?
They may know how to use some web design software, but will they take the time to fully understand your needs? And will they have the skills to develop your online identity?
If you want your site to look professional, then hire a professional. Web design is my craft and my passion, but it isn't my hobby - it's what I do for a living.
Apart from my freelance work, I'm also the Web Manager for a large Community College (King Edward VI Community College
),
where I've planned and established a complete Content Management system.
Copywriting
Writing copy for the web is a specialised skill; your website must grab our attention and hold onto it. I can write your copy from scratch, or edit your existing copy to give it maximum impact on the screen.
Content Management Systems
Do you have a large amount of information to organise and display? Do you need an e-commerce solution? Will your site need frequent updates? Then you need a Content Management System. Use the enquiry form on the contact page to get in touch, and I'll call you to discuss your needs.
SEO
Search Engine Optimisation is an essential part of your online strategy, but often misunderstood and unfortunately, misrepresented. Strong, ethical SEO is a standard part of every site I build. If you already have a site that you'd like optimised, get in touch for a free SEO evaluation and we'll take it from there.
Installation and Support
I won't just design your site and leave you to install and maintain it. I won't be satisfied until your site is stable and secure. Later, I can provide technical support, updates and even refresh the design to keep your site up to date and trouble-free.
Domain Registration
This is often seen as a minor detail, but the truth is that your website won't succeed without a well-chosen, effective domain name. This is the foundation of your online identity and not to be taken lightly. I'll provide help and advice, as well as the technical and administrative support you'll need to ensure your online identity is protected.
I register domains via a reliable UK company - Tsohost for reliable domain registration.
Hosting
There's no doubt that hosting can be a real headache for a website owner. I can take care of that for you. Whether you'd like me to work with your existing webhost or set you up with a new provider, I'll ensure that your website is on a firm footing.
I recommend Tsohost - a UK webhost that provides outstanding service and excellent value.
Content Management Systems
Website owners are increasingly turning to Content Management Systems (CMS) to handle their websites and e-commerce. This is because a CMS is an excellent way to manage large amounts of information, especially if that information is frequently updated. A CMS is also ideal if you'd like to update your website yourself. I can work with your existing CMS or plan and establish a new CMS that fits your needs.
