Custom-made Website Design

If you are looking for Web design specialists who give refreshing personalised attention then I can help you. With over 15 years experience I've built a solid reputation for delivering both successful and affordable high quality creative websites.

I believe in producing unique websites of an exceptional quality, with first-class results and high levels of customer satisfaction. I believe you're unique and your goals and passions are unique.

Consequently, all my websites are not only custom designed and programmed to order but optimised to work great in Google rankings too, enhancing your return on investment.

Content Management Systems

If your content needs updating regularly and you'd rather make ongoing revisions yourself then perhaps a content management system is the ideal solution for you.

If your requirements are very precise I can create a bespoke CMS, tailored exactly to your needs. This cuts away all the extra functions you'll never use and complications you might experience in an 'off the shelf package', making updates exceptionally swift and economical. If it's just fundamental text and image changes I can integrate a low-cost 'off the shelf' CMS.

E-Commerce

I can offer an easy to use secure payment gateway, neatly integrated into your site, enabling you to maximise your selling potential. With a carefully considered content management system I can ensure the update of products and prices will be a swift and economical process.

I can offer lower cost options too, by using third-party payment gateways such as Worldpay, Paypal or Google Checkout, an ideal way to start off your online selling experience.

Brochure and Logo Design, Corporate I.D and Branding

While it's important to have a great looking and high ranking website, offline branding is still just as important as online branding. People still appreciate something tangible, something they can hold, take away, and look at in their own time – branding that penetrates their subconscious and communicates your qualities.

That's why I offer a comprehensive suite of offline design services including: Corporate literature, logo design and branding, brochures and leaflets, product packaging and book covers, all-purpose adverts and posters, plus other associated services.

Flash Website Design

If you require an online presence that's more interactive and engaging than a regular 'brochure' site, that will grab the attention of your audience, a Flash website is definitely the way to go. Combining sound, fluid animation and video, there's so much more you can accomplish with Flash, without the constraints of HTML.

Some projects don't translate well as HTML sites – The featured project is one example where it would be impossible to present the information in an interesting and compact way using conventional HTML.

If you have a special quality or product you want to showcase, a Flash mini-site is a great way to market your feature whilst still complimenting your existing search engine optimised HTML site. www.airspeed6000.com is a perfect example.

Email Newsletter Design

I've been creating email newsletters for the likes of Fujitsu for nearly 10 years and can offer an exemplary service comprising of email design, programming and broadcast.

With an excellent return on investment, e-marketing makes a very effective online marketing solution. What's more it's extremely cost effective and a quick method to deliver your message to literally thousands of people simultaneously. A targeted e-letter campaign can reach the right customers at a far lower cost than traditional offline marketing services, with the added bonus of being able to track just how effective your campaigns have been through in-depth reporting data.

Online Games

I've had the good fortune to work on many online and offline Flash games, both for web and multimedia touchscreen kiosks and CD-ROMs, and can offer excellent services in casual gaming.

Whether the end results are designed to complement your online marketing, used a learning tool, or just for plain fun, Flash games enrich your content and don't have to cost the Earth. However big or small your budget I can to discuss your requirements and advise on what's possible within your particular budget.

Animation

I love animation – I've created animations for the likes of Fujitsu, Thomas Cook Airlines, York University, TUI Travel PLC and Marks & Spencer, and can offer an excellent animation service.

Combining sound, fluid animation and video, animation can serve as a useful learning tool, visual aid in your presentations or just used to add some extra 'oomph' to your existing website.

CD-ROM & Interactive Touch Screen Production

This is what I trained in, back when websites were just in their infancy, when Adobe Flash hadn't even been created, before the dot com boom and definitely way before the popularity of Social Networking.

Since then I've worked on many CD-ROM and touch screen projects for well known brands such as Games Workshop, Abbot Laboratories, Astra Zeneca, Cardale Garage Doors hosted by Carole Smilley, National Space Centre, London Science Museum and the featured project for Leeds Museum.

Search Engine Optimisation

Although it's important to have a great looking website, all that hard work will be wasted if no one can find it! All my websites are not only custom designed to stand out from the crowd but optimised to work great in Google rankings too. The featured website, www.hirental.co.uk is a perfect example, with excellent organic rankings for the following popular keywords:

#1 for video camera hire & accessory hire
#1 & #2 for camcorder hire, camera hire & lens hire
(Results compiled 18 June 2011)

Banner Advertising

Banner adverts are another important part of any online marketing campaign, putting your business directly in front of your target audience, increasing awareness of your products and services.

As well as offering email marketing, pay per click and search engine optimisation services, I can create beautiful animated or static banners that will appeal to your target audience, effectively communicate your key message and convert traffic directly into sales. Web banners can be integrated into your chosen online portal, be it Facebook, Google or any other chosen website.

3D Modelling for Web and Print

While probably not the most well used of my skills, I do provide an excellent 3D modelling service, be it for print, web or other interactive media.

3D models can be used for simple animations like www.week4aday.org, as visual aids in your presentations or as interactive learning devices such as the featured project.
