Need a website or facelift?

Thanks for stopping by, as you are aware I design websites; most of my clients are small business owners looking to either set up a new website or to get a facelift. Web design is a freelance hobby for me, I do it in the evenings and weekends when time allows which is the reason to why I take on small sites to mid-size sites.

I also install and upgrade message boards, I have experience with vBulletin, IPB, phpBB, etc. I can also assist with administrative functions such as setting up forum permissions, addons, themes, etc.

The initial phase of a web design project is to discover the purpose of your website and who your target audience is. At this stage it’s important to understand the reason behind your website, whether that be to generate sales leads, get more potential clients or to provide information to visitors. A good understanding as to the function of the website before the design and coding begins will help build a better site for you and your visitors.

What type of designer am I?

I believe that a website should be attractive yet simplistic in design as it allows the viewer to easily find the information they are looking for which is critical when you as the business owner are advertising your services. All of my sites are XHTML & CSS compliant which means your website will load in all modern web browsers (Internet Explorer 8+, Firefox 3+, Chrome, Safari and Opera).

I employ different techniques that allow for the site to be interactive, fast loading for all connection speeds and viewable on the majority of screen resolutions (1024x768 and higher).
