Services

Hello!

I provide website design and development for small to medium sized business. My goal is to provide you and your business with a website that best meets your needs.

Web Design and Development

Initial Setup

There are two things to take into consideration when you start thinking of having your own website:

  • The first one is the name of your website. Like your business your website has to have a name. Usually it’s the name of your business. So the name of the website is called domain name, and is purchased annually. The price of a domain name varies, depending of the extension that you’d like your domain name to have (i.e. .com, .net, .info etc), depending on where you purchase the domain name end whether you’d like your domain name to be private or not.
  • The second item on your list should be the physical location where your website will reside. That is a server somewhere in the vast network of servers. You can get such a space through a hosting provider. The hosting is paid monthly or annually, directly to the hosting provider. If you don’t want to deal with this entire infrastructure, I can take care of it for you. I strongly recommend SiteGround for hosting!

Website Types

  • Determine website type – help you determine the optimal website type for your business i.e. static, CMS (Content management), e-Commerce with Paypal Integration, Blog
  • Multi-platform development i.e. websites must work on hand-held devices i.e. phones, tablets as well as laptops/desktops.
  • You are welcome to bring your own text for the website’s content. I can also provide the copy for an extra cost that will cover a research of your industry and the actual writing.
  • Same with the images that you want to appear on the website, you can bring your own, or I could take professional photos for you. I could also use stock photography.
  • Bring your own logo, or I can create one for you!
  • Social media integration is an important step in building a website. I will integrate and link to your favorite social media websites, and also assist you in creating a presence on the media websites of your choice. i.e. Facebook, Pinterest, Houzz, Instagram, LinkedIn, Twitter, YouTube etc.

SEO

SEO (Search Engine Optimization) – To make sure your clients find you on the web I put to the good use SEO technics using SEO most used guidelines and tools. Search engines like Bing and Google change their algorithms all the time. In my experience a website will always be indexed by search engines if the website is:

  • Well written (clean code).
  • Has relevant content.
  • Has images with description.
