Web Design London . Designing with web standards.

 

Are you looking for a friendly, honest, supportive web designer for your website design and maintenance needs? Someone who is happy to explain what you should consider before parting with your cash for a website?

 

It doesn't matter what your purpose is for having a web site;

Whether it's for promoting your own talents, as I did, or selling a product or service, it is very important to be original. There are literally millions of websites on line. I do believe that to compete you have to stand out.

 

Be a little different. It's like being in the country where there are fields of rape with their yellow spring flowers and sometimes, if you're lucky, you'll see within those fields small groupings of bright red poppies. The contrast is extraordinary.

The two essentials for effective website design "Keep it simple"

Firstly: A website has to grab the viewer fast, people online don't mess about, you have 30 seconds to capture thier interest and if you don't they are gone. To achieve this the key is simplicity; simple immediately attractive design that grabs thier interest and simple easy to use accesible navigation so you can direct them to where you want them to go without making them work for it.

 

Secondly: SEO (search engine optimization). I produce completely customised and optimized original search engine friendly web site design. You want to spread your message and that means SEO is not only important but required. This means focusing on the precise details such as keyword optomisation and the right meta tags for each page of your site.

I specialise in designing attractive, appealing, functional, content rich, interactive and easy to use websites that reflect your personality and your company and your purpose for having a website.

Logo's & Banners

Your current logo/banner can be incorporated into your custom website design or I can create an original design for you. I'm an artist, it's what I do.

Content "Content is King"

I will present your words, your images and your content in an easy to navigate manner. If you don't have time to write the copy or source images for your webpages I can find royalty free photographs and write suitable content for your pages if required.

Databases

Online shopping carts are database systems which can be integrated seamlessly into your website. There are various options including the use of free or commercial pre-designed software which can be customised to fit the look and feel of your site. If you require a more dedicated option, I can help you to find the right programmer for the job.

Interactive Elements

An essential part of a web site is the online form. If they can't tell you what they want than you can't give it to them. Forms aren't difficult to set up but figuring it out takes time and I provide this for you.

 

Another element is the use of java script to create a dynamic feel. Whether that be for dropdown menu's, rollover images and text or buttons java provides an interactive and attractive element to any website, it simplifies the overall design and allows you to put much more content in the same space without overwhelming the viewer. To acomplish this I am proficient in the instalation of java coding as well as in the use of programs such as Dreamweaver, Photoshop and Fireworks.

All clients receive a copy of their finished design on CD or Floppy Disk complete with images, scripts and programs used on their site. If required, your website can also be uploaded via ftp to your preferred hosting company free of charge. (Please note: This free service is not available to clients whose hosting company only allows browser based upload facilities).

I pride myself on supplying intuitive website design, content and programming that helps build your business by attracting and keeping your visitors happy. This is a professional website design, maintenance and management service that leaves you the client worry free in the knowledge that if ever there is a problem, I am here to advise or fix it for you.
