Affordable and Effective Web Design

Web Design & Development

First impressions count. Psychologists call this the ‘halo effect’. The very first second a visitor lands on your site, they begin forming an opinion of you and your company:

• Taking too long to load – “This company’s slow, inefficient, low-tech…”
• Broken layout – “This company’s a mess, shoddy, unprofessional…”
• Outdated style – “This company’s old-fashioned, backward, unsuccessful…”
• Errors – “This company’s untrustworthy, lazy, incompetent…”

Good web design overcomes the halo effect and creates a positive impact on potential customers.

Good web design

So design’s all about visual appeal and pretty things, right? If only it were that easy.

Good design goes much further and includes everything from information architecture, layout, semantics and navigation, all the way down to the finer details of font choice, line spacing and even the colour of a link.

Confusing? Don’t worry, this is where my experience, knowledge and skills come in to guide you through the process.

Your site is in safe hands.

Latest web technologies

I use only the latest XHTML and CSS techniques. This means your website will be:

• quick to load
• error-free and stable
• accessible by anyone, on any platform
• future-proof

Oh, and it will look good and create the right first impression too!

Your website will follow the latest web standards, be accessible, compatible across all major browsers, and validate to the W3C specifications.

Web Programming

Does your website need extra functionality?

Your design may need ‘back-end’ programming to manage content or provide users with interactive elements; or perhaps you have the perfect idea for a web application that needs realising?

I take design deeper by handling both the ‘front-end’ and the ‘back-end’ under one roof.

Customisation

I don’t just build new web applications. If you need to store, manage and retrieve information in a database, or just want your website to have that extra cool piece of functionality – I’m your man!

If you already use a CMS (like WordPress or Drupal etc) I can build high-quality custom plugins and tweak the software so it does exactly what you need.

Languages

I offer back-end programming services in PHP and MySQL and also create effective interfaces with other languages such as XML.

Don’t worry if you aren’t sure what programming languages you’re using. If you get in touch with me and tell me about your current situation, I will be more than happy to help.
