Website design and development
Do you need a website to expand your customer base and increase your sales and profits? Or perhaps you already have a website but it doesn't meet your customers expectations? I offer complete website design, development and consulting services, with particular focus on usability, accessibility and simplicity.
While I believe websites should look good, I also undestand that first and foremost they should be user friendly, easy to navigate, and meet your customers objectives. Let me show you just how a simple and intuitive website can help your business grow.
Online catalogue and shopping cart development
Do you need to offer a shopping cart solution on your website but don't know where to start? I'm skilled in designing and building dynamic product catalogues, custom shopping carts and online credit card processing interfaces.
If you're a small business owner with a relatively small selection of items to offer online, Paypal can be a viable and cost-effective alternative too. Let me show you how you can quickly and easily integrate the Paypal shopping cart into your existing website.
Mobile phone website integration
If your business does not have a presence on the mobile internet, now is the time to do something about it. The number of people using the internet with mobile devices has more than doubled in the last year.
I can help your make the most of the potential business opportunities by integrating special mobile features into your existing website.
Search engine optimisation and online marketing
If you're planning to launch a new website you will need to optimise it for the search engines and the most cost effective way to achieve this is to make sure your website is optimised to begin with.
You will need to analyse your competition, conduct keyword research, optimise your content and meta tags, design your website navigation, devise your linking strategy, and ensure your website is listed with the relevant online directories.
Do you have the time and expertise for all that? If you want to launch your website properly, you'll almost certainly need professional help.
Website usability assessment
The most common problem website owners face is that their website just isn't performing. Despite the fact your customers have found you online, they're not even contacting you, let alone buying from you.
Why is this happening? Why is your website not performing?
You need a skilled professional to examine your site traffic logs, assess your website's usability and analyse your visitors online behaviour patterns. Let me help you make the most of your online presence by giving you clear recommendations that will make your website work for your business.
I can give you independent and professional feedback on the usability of your website and make suggestions on what you can do to improve its effectiveness, and to generate more leads and improve your search engine ranking.
Content management systems
Have you considered the cost savings of being able to update your website yourself? A simple content management system like Mint or Wordpress enables you to create your own website content quickly and easily, at a time that suits you, and at no additional cost to your business.
Content management systems like Mint and Wordpress are "open source", which means I'm able to build you an enterprise level website solution at a very affordable price. Using a content management system essentially puts your website at your fingertips. You can create your own pages, add images, and change content, without having to know the technical stuff.
Wikis and intranet applications
The simplicity and ease of use of wikis has already transformed large company intranets around the globe.
But wikis are also suited to small businesses who see the value in sharing all types of information, by adding legal documents, old memos, product images, training videos, and anything else that might be useful to them in the future.
Let me show you just how easily and cost-effectively a wiki system like Dokuwiki can reduce your documentation and knowledge management costs.
Web hosting and domain management
While you can get plenty of cheap hosting packages from overseas, I work exclusively with hosting providers who have servers located here in Australia.
Why would this be important for your business? It may not be, unless you're trying to attract Australian customers. And if you're an Aussie business, you usually will be.
I can help you with your domain registration, mail accounts setup, domain name delegation, backups and website analysis and reporting.
Custom database development
I have extensive experience in designing and developing dynamic database driven websites and traditional client/server business applications. I have worked with MySQL, Postgres, SQL Server, Oracle and Access databases in Linux and Windows environments.
Freelance work
If you're from a web design agency, I'm also occasionally available for freelance work. Contact me if you have an interesting project you'd like some assistance on.
