A website provides a natural extension of your business. A smart and relevant 'NO FRILLS' website design will not only generate sales but also provide a service to your loyal customers.

A good website should support and/or strengthen:

  • your identity
  • your business message
  • your products or services (through a combination of copy and images)
  • the ability of your visitors to contact you
  • the ability of your visitors to purchase goods or services from you

I can design and build your website (from the development stage, right through to cutting-edge marketing) to function as an online marketing brochure or branding tool, inviting visitors to learn about your company and its offerings. This is the right design choice when you expect potential clients to call or visit, after researching online.

A 'NO FRILLS' CUSTOM-DESIGNED WEBSITE  (for individuals or companies to come onto the internet, or those who have limited needs, simply requiring a presence on the web)

I specialize in creating affordable, high-quality, professional 'NO FRILLS' websites - from single page 'poster style' to "corporate company brochure" size. No matter how small or how large the project, I work to the same high standards of design, site usability and customer satisfaction. The information included will be presented in a clean and professional manner. Your web pages will be fast loading, not testing the patience of visitors by forcing them to wait for large, slow loading graphics. Your visitors will quickly see what you are about and what you have to offer!

KEEPING IT SIMPLE
Many companies charge a small fortune to create your company's website, though there really is no need. The best websites are the most simple ones, without the bells and whistles! A simple web page loads quickly and focuses the visitor on your product. When a visitor enters your website, they need to have a rapid understanding of what you are offering as well as be able to easily navigate throughout the site.

My prices are very competitive - I can design a website to your specifications and quote a price based on your specific requirements.

Putting text and a couple of graphics on a web page is easy. Designing a site that is eye-catching, stands out from the crowd, loads quickly, is easy to navigate, and coded to be search engine friendly is a nightmare -- for the average person. But, I am not your average person... nor am I your average web designer! With a solid background in advertising, marketing, public & media relations, I have the distinct advantage of being able to provide not only my skill and expertise with the latest top flight software and creative bent in writing and design... but also my well-founded knowledge of how to truly MARKET your website.

PLUS...
Your website will be optimized for search engines, and images will be fine-tuned to provide a balance of clarity and speed. Your website will also be meta-tagged to provide site specific keywords to make it more likely to be found by search engines.
