- eCommerce Solutions
- A huge number of businesses have realised the sales potential of the internet. The ability to process payments instantly online, coupled with relatively low overheads make an eCommerce website very tempting, for nearly all sizes and types of business.
Some companies find that this versatile sales avenue means they can forget the need for business premises altogether, saving yet more money. Larger organisations benefit by providing their customers with an alternative to the more traditional sales media such as printed leaflets or television commercials, both of which can be very expensive. The internet is a very cost-effective means of getting your products and services recognised both nationally and internationally.
I can provide your business with the means to sell your products or services on the internet - at a rate which means more money in your pocket, when compared to traditional methods. Whether you are a sole trader selling just one or two specialist items, to a larger organisation with several hundred products, I can build a manageable, cost-effective solution for your business. You can email me here, or visit my Portfolio page for examples of this kind of work.
- Accessibility & Usability
- According to a recent survey undertaken by the DRC, a large proportion of existing websites are unusable by less able members of the internet community. Since the publication of legal guidelines governing the provision of services (including websites) by businesses, it has become illegal to publish sites that do not cater for all, regardless of ability.
If yours is one of the many unfortunate businesses that is stuck with an out-of-date, inaccessible website and you are concerned about the matter, contact me for a consultation to see if I can help get your site back on track and inside the law. All sites created or updated by me are as accessible as each individual project will allow. You can get more information here, in this BBC article on Accessibility.

- Bespoke Programming & Database Integration
- A static website for your business can be great to start off with - most companies do not require any complicated features on their site. Further down the line, however, it might be essential to add new elements to that site. Perhaps you feel it's necessary to add something a little extra to increase the functionality and profitability of your online presence.
Perhaps something like a small CMS element would be useful, for example to allow the site manager to add or remove dates and details from an online events calendar? If there's something you need on your site to help you transform its role in your business, please email me with your ideas and see if I can provide you with a solution.
- Content Management Systems
- Some organisations find after some time that the management of their website has become unwieldy; large amounts of information spread over dozens of pages, with inconsistencies in presentation dotted all over them, and out-of-date articles or reports hiding in the shadows, yet still visible to users of the site. If this sounds like your company website, what you most likely need is a Content Management System (or CMS). These flexible systems allow practically anyone to update and create on the internet with a minimum of technical knowledge.
What would you give to be able to comfortably manage all your web-based documents or sales literature in such a way that publishing new articles or archiving old ones would be no further away than a couple of clicks? I can provide your business with a versatile system that makes managing your own website a simple, intuitive process. Email me now to see how I could change the way you handle your online presence.
