COMPLETE WEBSITE DEVELOPMENT
A successful website is the product of a professional process from
start to finish:
- Well-written, engaging and concise content,
checked for spelling and grammar
- High quality photos or images, showing
detail and/or providing the ability to enlarge
- An attractive
design that supports your brand and message; good design
is good business
- Proper
technical execution with attention to detail, ensuring usability,
accessibility & compatibility
Strategy & Consulting
Part of my process is translating your business into the web medium.
Creative, Custom Graphic
& Interface Design
Custom graphic design and wireframing of the site, including how
one clearly navigates.
Information Architecture,
Content Writing & Editing
I construct sitemaps. I also help with writing
and editing, but need some points to work from ~ give me the
ingredients, I'll cook the meal.
Standards-Compliant Development
Custom, handcoded XHTML/PHP/CSS.
Also offer websites built on Wordpress, the #1 award-winning
opensource Content Management System (CMS) and blogging platform.
Connect with your customers online in a down-to-earth self-maintainable
fashion and remain true to your brand.
Functional
Usability and accessiblity tested; built to be search engine optimized.
cross-platform compatible, user-friendly, and search engine friendly
with meta tags and properly formatted text content in standards-compliant
XHTML and CSS

E-Newsletters
Stay in touch with your customers! 88% of customers make purchases
as a result of permission-based email such as a mailing list.
(Source: doubleclick.com) I offer custom-designed MailChimp newsletters
to carry your brand through to your mailing list. MailChimp allows
you to send up to 12,000 emails per month to 2000 subscribers.
No contracts, no credit card required.
Blogging
A trendy term; the concept has been around since the beginning,
only the technology has made it accessible to everyone.
Social Media
Branding customizations for Facebook and Twitter, as well as training
and consultation.
Domain Registration & Hosting
I highly recommend local indie ISP Islandnet.com, where I will
setup your hosting account and register your
domain name on your behalf... a "set it and forget it" arrangement!
