Every single website I build is designed according to the requirements of the client. Many web design firms create a standard site design which they adapt for each client, without considering the audience of the site. Each site I design has been designed from the ground up, with close attention to the client's wishes and the intended audience firmly in mind.

I do not force you into an expensive maintenanace contract - if you wish to maintain the site yourself once I've built it then that's fine - so long as you state this before I begin development, as the way I develop for myself can differ.

I am also available to work on a freelance/contract basis, no matter how small the work involved. If you require a quotation or would like to discuss any potential work then please contact me with details of your project.

This is a selection of the services I provide in addition to normal web design and hosting:

• Custom PHP, Perl, and SQL Programming
  • Secure user authentication
  • User registration
• Database administration
• E-commerce solutions
• Interactive web sites (Discussion boards, mailing lists etc.)
• Integration and installation of existing scripts
• Database powered catalogues and sites
• Search engine optimisation and submission - this makes all the difference to the success of your website
• Data processing scripts
  • Import/export
  • Extracting data
  • Converting formats
• Web site updates and maintenance

Using a database on your web site allows you, the site owner, to edit the content of the site without having to know anything about HTML or other web technologies. The possibilities are endless... an online cataloge that you can update, and news management are just a few of the options.

I am skilled at working with MySQL, a fast lightweight database especially suited to the web.

I take the accessibility of a web site very seriously and assess it at all stages of the design process. For many U.S. sites it is a legal requirement that you comply with accessibility guidelines and a modified version of these requirements is under consideration by the EU. By designing your site to meet these guidelines I am futureproofing it, preventing a lot of expensive work being required in 2-3 years when the law is changed.

As the needs of each website vary greatly, you may not require all of the above services, or you may have extra requirements. Likewise, pricing will vary from one project to the next. Rather than quoting generalised prices, I prefer to review your individual requirements and build an individual site with only the features you require. To discuss your requirements, please contact me.
