Web Design

I believe that great design is in the detail. I also believe that design must support functionality and vice versa. One cannot, and should not, be used to overcome the weaknesses of the other. Design is more than just choosing colours, typefaces, shapes, and images. The concept of web design is to support your business.

When I design a web site, I am constantly considering how the site will be built and how it will function. This way, you can be sure that both design and usability will be considered along every step of the way.

Development

I specialize in XHTML, CSS, and JavaScript front-end web development. In addition to being well versed in web design, I have the programming skills to intergrate or develop the latest and most powerful tools around to make your site a success. I also offer content management system integration, for easy site maintenance.

I offer development in:

- E-commerce web design
- Shopping cart and payment processsing
- CMS Integration (WordPress, Drupal, Joomla)
- BSC (Hons) Qualified Programmer
- PHP, AJAX, C# Javascript coding
- Flash Actionscript development

I can not only produce striking websites but add all the
functionality you require to your site.

Branding

It is easy to underestimate the importance of branding for your business.

In today's highly competitive market it is vital that you have a strong brand identity. I can seamlessly integrate any logos and images that you already have into your branding or work with you to produce a strong corporate image.

- Websites
