 Web Design And Web Development

Web Sites are now essential and required features for most businesses and organisations. The requirements and purpose of the Web Site will determine the type of site created. This can range from a simple information site to a fully dynamic e-commerce site or an e-learning portal.

I have extensive experience with Web Site design, development and creation. I am able to code using many Web programming languages and specialise in Macromedia ColdFusion.

I have a strong portfolio of sites that I have designed and created or have been involved in the development of as one of the lead web developers. A selection of my portfolio is available below, detailing the scope and requirements of the project.

A high quality, well-designed and coded Web Site can:

Increase Market Share and Audience Reach.
Recent research reports some 800 million people have access to the Internet worldwide with 35 million in the UK alone!

Increase the efficiency of a company.
A professionally designed Web Site provides an excellent method of distributing your information to your customers, employees and target audience.

Promotion and Marketing.
Image, whether corporate or individual can be positively improved by a clean, easy to navigate, content rich Web Site. The Web Site can act as an on-line brochure, or provide a product or service presentation. Through the Web Site you can educate your customers on your product or service. Documentation, software and manuals can be added to the site so they are available for download or display, worldwide at anytime.

Market Research.
A Web Site is a ideal method of gathering market research, customer information and feedback. Surveys and users polls can be established to gain the thoughts and views of the Web Site users.
