Services

As a freelance web developer, I can off many different services to my clients. For more information on what I can offer you, please read on. If you have a query that isn't covered on this site, please don't hesitate to ask. To see some examples of my work, please view my portfolio.

Web Design

First impressions are essential. It takes around 3 seconds for the average web user to either stay or leave the site they are visiting. Therefore, every solution I create is visually pleasing for the target audience to grab the users attention. As well as been attractive to the eye, it is important to have content that will keep the user interested and on the site.

I start the design process by on paper by drafting an example homepage layout. From there I move onto creating a digital version using industry leading software such as Adobe CS3 that meets W3C standards where possible. All graphics are created and photographs modified using Fireworks before being incorporated into the CSS and XHTML coding created in Dreamweaver. From here, I move onto to adding the main content on a page-by-page basis keeping the same theme throughout the site. The clients requirements and regularly reviewed to ensure the final solution is exactly what is required.

Finally, once the site appears to be complete, I test the site to breaking point ensuring everything works exactly as it should before presenting the final product to the client. Once they are happy, it is made available for viewing by the public.

Dynamic Content

The internet as we know it is changing. It is becoming more and more frequent that web content is provided by the user's of a website, rather then the people running the site. Dynamic content is the future of the internet.

I use PHP to deliver the content from a MySQL database to the web browser of the person visiting. Whilst dynamic content can also be provided by the user's such as forums, social networking or file uploads, it can also be provided by the the website's owner. I recommend that any potential client of mine thinks about employing the use of a CMS (Content Management System). This enables them to login to an online control panel from which they can edit and control every part of their online presence. Each CMS created by myself is built from scratch each time, this enables the end product to meet the needs of client exactly.

Right, you have this fantastic new website, but how do you let people view it? You need somewhere to host it, I can also arrange this for you. Wouldn't it be easier to deal with just one person during the process of getting your project online? I offer one years free hosting with a competitive list of features to all of my clients.
