Web site services
More and more people are looking for services and products on-line than ever before and that is likely to increase.
Most people are coming to expect a business will have a web site or at least some kind of Internet presence.
Without a web site your organization could be losing out on potential customers.
I can help you take full advantage of the internet and offer a range of affordable web site services, including web design, hosting, domain registration and renewal, updates, maintenance, marketing and statistical analysis.
E-commerce enabled web sites
PayPal is a low-cost way for you to accept credit card and bank account payments, and can be fully integrated with your web site.
PayPal ‘buy now’ buttons or a PayPal shopping cart can be integrated with your web site and start making money almost immediately.
When you use PayPal's Shopping Cart on your web site, your customers can purchase multiple items with a single payment, browse your entire selection, and view a consolidated list of all their items before purchasing.
For an example of this see the Meyn Mamvro web site that I have set up recently.
Domain names and hosting
Charges for domain names and hosting are both payable annually and are dependant the domain name of choice and the size and complexity of the web site. Updates are usually charged on a half hourly basis.
Accessibility
I have been concentrating on learning how to make web sites more accessible for people with disabilities and can now design web site to meet the following criteria:
Photographs
I can use digital images, scan from original photographs or slides or copy from an existing web site, as long a you have copyright on them. You can send the to me by snail mail or email.
Images can be resized, cropped, 'tidied', enhanced and fully web optimized to suit your requirements.
I also have quite a large collection of local and wildlife photographs, which I have taken myself, a few of which can be seen on my photographs' page.
Although I don't class myself as a 'photographer', it may also be possible to arrange to take specific photographs by special request.Google Analytics
Google Analytics is a powerful tool for monitoring all aspects of your web site's traffic, from referrerals to search engine activity. It is one of the best tools out there for analyzing traffic on your web site, it can give you an enormous amount of information about who is coming to your site, what they're looking for, and how they're getting there.
I can optimize your web site for Google and set up Google Analytics so you can monitor your sites performance. I can do this for a new site or for an existing web site.
Reports can be received by email daily, monthly or quarterly, depending on your requirements.
iMedia
I have recently gained an OCR iMedia Certificate at Camborne College, thanks to grant funding obtained through Let's Profit.
The OCR (Oxford Cambridge and RSA Examinations) is a leading UK awarding body whose qualifications were developed in close consultation with teachers, industry leaders and government bodies. They ensure that their qualifications meet the requirements for today's interactive media.
The course covers three modules, Photoshop (digital imaging), Dreamweaver (web authoring) and Flash (interactive multimedia design).
It was great fun to do, not at all like being at school, and I learnt a lot from it.
