Custom Web Design and Re-Design

Many years of working as a designer allowed me to accumulate the experience and skills necessary to deliver the most efficient results. In this ever changing world of web development, it is important to stay up to date with better ways of coding and designing. A Professional Web Design must have speed, beauty and functionality co-existing together to bring the best user experience for your visitors. Whether you need to upgrade your existing site or start a design from scratch or perhaps from an existing PSD file that you would like to see come to life, I can help you get the most of it. Imagination and creativity along with knowledge and experience will be put to work for you.

Consultancy and Content Management

It is important for any Web Design project that we are clear on what the purpose of your website is and what type of audience you want to target. At this stage it’s crucial to understand the reason behind your website, whether that be to generate more sales, get more potential clients or to provide certain information to visitors. I can build a custom CMS (Content Management System) that will allow the website owner to make changes or update their content of their dynamic sites. Sometimes not necessary for static sites when the information will rarely change. For larger website projects I can adapt the design of the website into a powerful open-source content management systems such as WordPress, Joomla and Drupal.

Cross-browser Compatibility

Popular Website browsers include Google Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Opera, Internet Explorer and Netscape (Firefox, Chrome and Safari being the top ones). Because so many people do not have the latest versions of each popular browser, it is good to ensure that your website is visible in browsers as well as the older versions. That’s why it is important for me to keep your html “good and clean” by validating the HTML and CSS and then test it in each individual browser to guarantee the page is compatible and available to all potential viewers. An average internet user is not aware of the limits of the websites to adapt to all types of browsers, and it is expected that the website will look good in any browser, when it is clearly not the case. In other words, web users are expecting that websites will be compatible with their browser.

Web Speed Optimization

The speed of your website “load time” is more important than you might think. So important that modern search engines consider this factor when assigning a rank to your page. Unfortunately, it is also often overlooked by webmasters and designers. There are several ways to increase the speed of your site; from the server side, starting by choosing a decent web host and using a form of compression that can make the response time faster, to the code itself when designing your website. Techniques like using image sprites, compression of Javascript and CSS, optimizing the header of the page, etc. Nobody likes to wait forever to see your website. This is something very discouraging and a key factor that affects directly on whether your visitors want “stick around” and visit other pages on your site or just leaving your site and going to your competitor’s site for the same service. This is how important your web speed optimization is. I can also help you with:
