Template based
or Bespoke Design
or Bespoke Design
- Template based design is cheap and quick to setup, because content is made to fit the template structure (it doesn't take me too long in other words). It's great as a starter for a small business to provide basic information.
- By it's nature it may restrict what you want from your site however, so Bespoke is the answer in this case, as everything can be designed around content (this takes me longer and so costs more).
Search Engine
Optimization
Optimization
- SEO (search engine optimization) means optimizing (designing and tweaking in precise ways) to increase you chances of being found or searched on the internet.
- The most important factors are what your site says (text) and who links back to your site. The first takes time to get right, the second takes a long time.
- Be wary of anyone boasting quick results - consistently good results is another matter.
- I can get your site listed on the major search engines & directories promptly and then monitor it in terms of reliability of server, it's developing presence on the internet, traffic to specific pages and so on.
- This is complex and time consuming, so cost is agreed on an individual basis.
- Pay Per Click (PPC) advertising, such as Google Adwords or Yahoo! Sponsored Search can get quick results, but again takes time to setup and again I can help there.
Multimedia and
other content
other content
- I have a wide range of skllls with movies, flash, music, DVDs, motion graphics and 3D graphics, down to simpler pdfs (as in a downloadable brochure or menu).
- Such multimedia can help page rankings and linking with major social media sites.
Logos and
graphic design
graphic design
- I can design basic graphics, such as logos, letterhead, business cards etc
- Graphic design is very different from web design, so demanding graphic design requires expert help.
Content management
E-commerce
E-commerce
- Basic content management and e-commerce solutions using free software you can then take over at anytime.
- I am more a visual designer and such dynamic sites require a special breed of more code based designers, but I can get a basic solution up and running for you to take over or develop, with or without my assistance.
I am a one man band and don't use vague terms like "we" and "us" as many web designers do. However in this modern digital world of global communication, I can hire trusted help as needed. The internet has changed everything for both of us!
