The ability to convert ideas to things is the secret to outward success...
I am here to help serve you, and make your Web site the best that it can be to draw in new customers and to build your business pressence on the Web.
Contact me and let me know how I can best serve you. You will receive, in return, my response with what my recommendations are for you and a quote as to what these ideas will be in terms of cost.
Generally speaking, a redesign of an existing Web site will run about $150, while an entirely new Web site will begin at about $400.
I offer other services as well, besides Web design and those services can be seen by clicking here.
A consistent corporate image is paramount for any company fighting in today's competitive markets. A professional image and first impressions can go a long way when attracting clients. Maintaining a site that is truly consistent with your company image, with a professional finish goes a lot further on a medium such as the Internet where there is little else that can be used to set rival businesses apart. My experience in Web design allows me to create a design that truly reflects your company's image and target market.
The initial phase of drafting a design will involve gathering some examples of existing marketing material so that I can provide you with a Web presence that ties in with your existing company image. If you require new original material, or if you require new marketing material, I can work with you to create an all-in-one package to fit your requirements.
A Web site can be the best looking Web site in the world, but if your clients can not get the information they need easily, then the Web site is totally useless. Many well respected multinational companies have quite often made this mistake by flooding their Web pages with a myriad of disorganized information on each page. Not only can pages be overwhelming with useless information, but they can have poor navigation.
My understanding of user expectations will allow me to structure a site in a way where information can be broken into digestible chunks, where the user is clearly presented with choices they expect to see and information they want to find. With the fierce competition that exists on the Web, a user friendly, well-structured Web site will go a long way.
I can also audit existing Web sites, and provide a written report with suggestions that would improve user experience.
Have you ever been annoyed, when you print a Web page, by the amount of paper you waste from unneeded garbage, such as ink-hungry header images, and navigation sidebars? Well this is because most Web design companies do not consider Web site accessibility. I take measures to ensure your Web site is as accessible as possible and user friendly for users on mobile devices. In today's modern world, PDA's and mobile phones are becoming an increasingly popular method to look up information, and failing to comply with Web standards blocks this large audience from viewing your Web site.
If you have an existing site, I can audit your Web site against 'Web Accessibility Initiative' accessibility guidelines, and will provide a detailed written report of my findings. I can also make your site comply with the relevant standards.
Web sites that are built with accessibility in mind have many other advantages over their counterparts. They are faster to load and much easier to maintain.
A Web site could be the best looking and most user-friendly Web site in the world. However, if no body knows it is there then it will not serve any purpose.
Search engines have been proven to be the biggest source of traffic for nearly all of the sites on the Internet. Therefore optimizing your site for search engine coverage is a very economical form of marketing.
When I develop a Web site, I take measures to make sure that your site is not only user friendly, but also search engine friendly as well. Search engines have developed rapidly in the last few years in order to adapt and provide more accurate results. Gone are the days when you could use the age-old trick of simply smacking together a load of embedded keywords as 'META' tags into a site. Search engine optimization is now a big business. As a result, companies quite often and rather deceptively use statistics attempting to prove to you that they can give you the best search engine ranking possible. In reality, few companies make realistic claims that give you truly significant return for your investment unless they are using techniques that are banned from the search engines (i.e. cheating).
Search engine optimization is about optimizing your site so search engines give you high rankings for keywords that are specific to the market your business wants to target. The choice of keywords is critical in order to maximize your coverage in the search engine.
What I can do to help with optimization:
Freedom to communicate efficiently is what drives the Internet. It is becoming more and more important in today's service driven Internet to be able to integrate data from difference data sources, such as other Web sites, and 3rd party software. A typical example of this is being able to integrate with another site that provides currency exchange rate information in real-time to be able allow potential customers view items on your e-commerce site in their native currency.
I can provide multiple solutions involving XML and Web services, allowing you to integrate several XML adware programs so they can work together for your company
