I trade as an independent website designer and consultant offering a complete range of services to help your company quickly set up an effective presence on the World Wide Web. My aim is to help improve the visibility and credibility of your business with a modern, stylish website which will appeal to both visitors and search engines alike. Below are answers to some of the most frequently asked questions about website design and publishing.
What are modern web standards?
Designing and publishing sites to modern web standards ensures outstanding compatibility and accessibility. Using a combination of professional design tools and open source applications, I try to make sure that the websites I create are accessible to everyone – from the visually impaired to &those using the latest hand-held devices.
Do you offer Search Engine Optimisation?
Yes, Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) involves a combination of many factors which help your website rank higher in search engine results. By incorporating relevant content, good design practices and modern web standards, I design websites which appeal to both visitors and search engines alike.
Do your sites come top in Google results?
Sorry, I cannot guarantee to get your site to the top of Google. However, my modern design standards, knowledge and experience ensures that the websites I design feature prominently in major search engine results.
Ignore companies who GUARANTEE to get you to the top of Google – at best these are a complete waste of money and at worst they can actually hurt your ranking.
Can I update and manage my own website?
Yes, most of my packages include a Content Management System (CMS) or WordPress blog, which will allow you to easily update and edit your site when you want.
Do you sell domain names and web hosting?
Yes, and if I design and build your website I will include a registered .co.uk, .com or .net domain name (subject to availability) fast, reliable website hosting, email facilities and visitor statistics free of charge for the first 12 months
Do we need to arrange a meeting?
To do my job well, I need to learn all about your company, what you do and why people should use you. This is best done over a coffee and a chat.
If cost or distance is a cause then it might be possible to offer a consultation over the phone.
