Web Site Designer and
Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) Specialist

websites designed to be search engine friendly ...

When I design a website my aim is to ensure it:

• effectively works for your business
• is designed to be search engine friendly and optimised
• works sensibly in all browsers and follows current best practice
• meets legal requirements eg for Disability Accessibility
• loads quickly

I aim to provide friendly, informative and comprehensive support and guidance on all web design and maintenance issues together with guidance on getting the best results out of search engines. Whether you are a business start-up wanting a website for the first time or already established with a website but you need help or want a refresh or an upgrade - I am sure I can help you get the website you want.

On this website I hope you will find some interesting and helpful articles on various web matters as well as information about me and my services. If you have any queries regarding website design or related web subjects please feel free to telephone me. I am happy to offer help or advice, if I can, without any obligation.

My web services include...

• Website Design - websites designed to look good, are usable, accessible to all and are search engine friendly
• Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) for your website - On average 50% of all website visits originate from a search engine. Of the other 50% most are made up of people who know where they want to go as they are revisiting a website they know. So most first time visits come from the search engines. If your web site is not performing well in the search engines I can explain to you what search engine optimisation involves and we can look at how we might get better search engine rankings.
• Website maintenance or Search Engine Optimisation (SEO ) training - Do you already maintain your own website or would you like to. Do you want some practical 1 to 1 training in the basics of Search Engine Optimisation so you can improve the ranking of your site.
• Website Review - I can review your web site and advise on usability, search engine effectiveness, code and design issues, disability accessibility. I can use my experience to help you make your web site more effective.
• Website Copywriting - great content is the key to an effective website that appeals to people and is the basis of search engine success .... I can work with you to get your copywriting up to scratch.
• Website Maintenance and Content Updating - keeping up with your website a problem? I can offer flexible contracts to suit your needs.
• Disability Accessibility is a legal requirement for your website- This means that your website must be user-friendly to everyone, regardless of any visual or hearing impairment or any other disability that could affect their use of the site.
• Domain Names and Website Hosting - shared or dedicated, windows or unix, domain names .... I do not provide website hosting myself, I use third party companies. I can point you to companies I am happy to use so you can organise your own website hosting and purchase your domain name directly or if you prefer I can handle these on your behalf.
