Website design
I can design you a website that reflects your existing promotional material. Or, I can devise a graphic style from scratch that would stamp your 'brand' on every element – page layouts, graphics, logo, animation, forms, audio, video – the lot. I can personally handle small to medium projects myself.
I can be your Project Manager on more extensive projects – for example, implementing a database of registered users, dynamic content from a database or a web-based content management system.
I always use well-established, stable and robust web technologies to build sites. Websites that are built simply and logically are quick and easy to bring up-to-date when web technologies changes. They are more 'future-proof'.
Content editing & information design
Some clients provide very specific instructions, copy and images for their site. Others just give me a business card and an old brochure and we start from there. If you need a writer or editor, I can help you with a recommendation.
Website hosting & domain name registration
I can arrange hosting for you and register domain names on your behalf. Getting the domain name you want is often a good place to start, so before I start designing I know how your site should be branded.
Newsletters
Do you have a mailing list of people you want to tell your latest news? With a simple-to-use newsletter system you can send them a well-designed email including images and links, and easily manage your own mailing-list.
Shopping cart
I can develop a shopping site. See OsCommerce to see what can be done using this off-the-shelf open source shopping cart package.
Online communities
I can set up a 'list server' for you, so several people can email each other on specific topics via your website. Or I can also create sites where you can set up an online community, using a forum, file sharing, polls and chat.
Website maintenance
I can just update your existing site. I examine the code and hosting details, even if it’s been untended for years, and suggest the best way to bring it up-to-date. I maintain large, information-rich sites for corporate clients. At times it is more cost-effective to outsource this task to me, rather than overload your staff with this responsibility.
