Web Development and Graphic Design

Web sites that work

No one-size fits all. Unlike some companies I do not have a set of standard web sites which I give to everyone. I create unique web sites for smaller businesses, who can't afford the very expensive design firms. My rates are low and I provide a high quality service.

I have a strong record for creating solutions which have made a real difference, bringing in new business and growing existing business. I have this record because I am interested in long-term partnerships with my clients and work hard to understand each business. You can find some examples in my web design portfolio.

Many firms rely on purchasing expensive commercial images and subcontracting professional writers. I am educated to Masters degree level in the creative arts and can do everything, from the programming code to the text and images used on the site. This saves you money and ensures that you get what you asked for.

I price according to the time it will take to complete a project. By calculating the hours up front I can provide a fixed price. If it takes me longer, that's my loss not yours. These are typical packages for guidance:

I produce professional brochures, stationary, business cards and even posters.
