Inclusive Tasks
All supporting tasks and products listed on this page are
included in the price quoted to you. I guarantee there will be no hidden costs.
Graphic Design
In addition to page layouts and site
mockups I will of course create logos, banners, advertisements and
other graphical elements for inclusion within the pages of a web
site. Should you wish, you can advise on any preferences you may
have, regarding any aspect of the 'on page' graphics. Alternatively
you can let me make all the design decisions.
Site Submission
I will submit your site to several
'Primary', 'Directory' and 'Meta' search engines - such as Google, Yahoo and Meta Crawler.
By using these services your site will always be listed for your
target audience to find, and will soon begin to improve its ranking
and visitor count.
Services
I provide a full suite of services
which support the activities of developing and implementing a website.
Those activities listed below are the minimum set of tasks required
to ensure your site has a good foundation and 'visibility' for your
customers. Please select a tab to view details.

Design
For a design to be successful the
goals of a website will need to be established. These goals
will generally be geared around advancing a client's
business objectives. Once I have a clients ideas (and
these goals) in focus then I can to begin to create a
conceptual site map, wireframe models of possible page
structure and also mockups of your chosen site design.
Please
drop me a line and
I'll be glad to discuss your website ideas and goals
in more detail.
Development
Development encompasses the various sub-tasks of defining
a website. Choosing suitable typefaces, selecting a colour
scheme and applying graphic design techniques are typical
tasks which will be carried out. As the development progresses
I will include further functionality into the pages under
development. In short the client will see pictures turn
into dynamic on-page components.
Build
When you are satisfied that the web pages are correct
and meet your requirements, I will add your site content
to the website framework and build the whole site. After
checking page loading with commonly used Internet Browsers
I will then request that you view and assess the development.
Should you wish to provide me with valuable feedback
on your findings this will be most welcome. My aim is
to produce the best interface possible for your site
As you may realise this circular process (of view/feedback/rework)
will bring your web pages up to a very high standard
and at some point I will expect you (please) to make
the decision to allow the site to go live.
Web Hosting
Naturally, if I build a web site for you I will also provide
hosting and content uploads. Circlewebs hosting will
be provided at no cost for the first year. Also, all
uploads to your web space are carried out as part of
the package during this period. After this first year
you will find my hosting rates are extremely competitive!
Please check the rates of my no nonsense hosting supplier siteocity.
By the way, this company don't pay me to recommend or
link to them.
Maintenance
Maintenance of your website will include many web optimisation
services and periodic full page analysis using software
tools. These checks will ensure that the site is performing
correctly in terms of loading speed, browser compatibility
and search engine ranking. Though Search engine optimisation
(SEO) techniques are used to improve site ranking at
the end of a project the importance of these methods
(in terms of page naming, keywords and site structure)
should be considered long before a site implementation
is embarked upon. SEO then, should be built in and not
'bolted on'. In this way your web pages will
be indexed (by the web crawlers) far more accurately.
Your site visibility will rise as a result of this.
