My core services

Online Strategy
Planning is key to ensure the successful delivery of a web project regardless of project size. Every web project starts with talking, scoping and research, followed by the definition of a web strategy that meets both your business requirements and your users expectations.

Web Design
Good web design is the key to competitive advantage. Your site must load quickly, be easy to use, have well organised content, have visual impact and clear call to actions capable of attracting visitors and business. Good web design is about communicating, not just making things look attractive.

Tracking & Reporting
The key part of promoting any website is having the ability to track results and traffic. Through tracking you get insight on how visitors are finding your site, how they're converting, how certain keywords are performing and much, much more. This allows you to be constantly improving your website and advertising.

My process
-
1. We get to know each other
Distance permitting, I like to meet all of my clients face to face to sit down and run though a full breakdown of what the site is to achieve, what features the site is to include and what content the site will consist of. We take stock of where you are, where you are trying to get to and how we can get there.
-
2. Content collection
Content is key, I cannot stress this enough. Your sites content tells your visitors who you are, what services you offer and what makes you stand out from the crowd. The site is built around the content, it's not just dropped in later. I can help you produce content if needed.
-
3. Design, build and review.
Once I have the brief, spec and content the real fun begins. I design and build a website that communicate your message and meets your objectives. You review the design and if your happy I turn it into a usable, accessible ,user friendly and effective website. Depending on the size of the project I will schedule review meetings for you to keep an eye on progress and will also ask you to sign off on various stages of the design and development.
-
4. Marketing, launch and promotion
It's no good having a great website if no one visits. This is often the most overlooked areas of launching a new site. I will recommend, advise on and implement marketing strategies prior to, during and after launch, to ensure your website gets plenty of the type of visitors that you want, who will convert into a customer.
-
5. Reporting, reviewing & improving
Is the site working for you? Are you getting a good return on your investment? To answer these questions , I will on your behalf, track and monitor your website usage and visitor profiles over an agreed time period and provide you with a report at regular intervals. If your also running pay per click campaigns it's vital that these are monitored and optimised on a regular basis to get the maximum return on your advertising budget.
My prices
Generally speaking I don't offer off the shelf packages or deals. Every site I design and build is unique and based on that individuals or company's specific needs. I've worked on a lot of massively varying projects and it is almost impossible to accurately price a project until the initial planning and spec has been done. There are many companies out there that sell pre packed themes or off the shelf pre made templates, this is not something I do. Like anything worth having you really do get what you pay for. Each site I produce is specifically tailored and hand designed around the site owners needs.
I prefer to sit down and discuss your aims for the site and then establish these 3 important pieces of information.
- Your budget
- Timescales
- Scope - what features must be included in the project
These 3 pieces of information are all closely related and will determine the final price of the project. If your deadline for completion is soon and you want lots of features then your budget needs to be high. If your budget is low and you need the project completed quickly then don´t expect many features and so on and so forth. Ultimately I want to try and give you the optimal balance of these 3 elements.
