special offer - 3 page website now only £199

I'm a one stop solution for all your website needs. The high quality coding I use have passed the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) validation tests - click on the W3C banners at the bottom of the page for confirmation. It is rare to see these quality confirmation test results on other sites because many web designers use "already built" templates which would not pass these tests because they use unnecessary and outdated coding practices. It is of utmost importance to realise that better coding websites rank higher in Google and other search engines! I attain pleasure and job satisfaction in knowing that my websites are the best quality and "Tailor Made For You!"

I have a wide range of professional computing qualifications which includes a CIW Web Foundations Associate and BTEC HNC qualifications in Web Design and Systems Analysis and Design. I have Microsoft Technology Associate certificates in Windows Operating Systems, Networking, Security and Windows Server Administration. I have CompTIA A+ and other BTEC HNC and Cisco certificates.

An Introduction to Web Design

Web Design covers many different skills and disciplines in the production and management of websites. The term "Web Design" is used to describe the design process relating to the front end or client side design of a website. A great user friendly website can help you stand out from the crowd.

Web designers are responsible for the visual presentation of a website which includes the layout, colouring, typography - the overall design of a webpage. A web designer uses various coding skills such as XHTML, CSS and JavaScript to create that all important "look and feel" that visitors will see when they access your site.

The Rules of Good Web Design

First Impressions Count - When a visitor first comes to your website, you have about 5 seconds to capture their attention before they click the back button, return to Google, and proceed to a competitors site. A good website must be able to capture a visitors attention to make them stay and want to come back. Poorly designed websites are costing many companies a great deal of business.

Usability - The importance of a strong user interface is often overlooked by many designers. Simple and easy navigation is vital to your site's success. Websites that are hard to use, are not used!

Content is King - First impressions will make visitors stay and good content will make the same visitors return. Content really is King!

Good Code - Designing a website using up-to-date coding is vital to the success of your website. Good well written code makes updating, expanding and managing a website easy and quick. More importantly, websites that use better coding rank higher in the Internet search engines which is essential if you want to stay ahead of your competitors.
