Website creation, support, and design

Website Creation and Design

Having your business representation on the internet is growing to be essential for most business's. Customers want to be empowered when it comes to you and your services. Customers will come to understand what your business offers and how it ensures trust and security. By establishing a trusted website presence, you allow your business portfolio and services to be available to reach existing and new clients.

With website design, I work direct with clients to build a firm understanding of their unique website requirements. Needed logo's, images and the actual information are researched. In the working stage of new website, we monitor your websites statistics to ensure correct usage of page titles, description and content. Sitemaps (outside this site) are created to help the Search Engines find and index your site.

Web Design Capabilities

What I do offer in website design:

  • HTML and XHTML Websites
  • Use of CSS Style Sheets and JavaScript
  • Scanning Photos, creating graphics
  • PDF creation for brochures
  • Use PHP scripting for things like contact forms
  • Search Engine Submission
  • Local Australian Website Hosting (if required)

What I do not recommend:

  • The use of Flash and Java Applets
  • Sites needing a large number of graphics
  • The inclusion of Audio and Video streaming
  • The use of Frames

My Website Design Methods:

My Website design objective is creating websites that work on all the common browsers, which load quickly and offer easy user navigation. This is done by using modern compliant code using XHTML and CSS. The benefits to this approach are :

  • Greater flexibility for making changes (fonts, colours, etc)
  • Search engines see more of the page content (and less 'code')
  • The site will be usable in any browser, with or without graphics
  • Changing the look and feel of a site is less complicated
  • CSS and XHTML creates sites that are inherently more accessible

Very old text-only browsers will have full access to the pages, but they will be very plain.

Your Website Design Costs

  • Small 8 page website (basic) = $495.00 (Aus. inc GST)
  • Business 20 Page website = $695.00 (Aus. inc GST)
  • Larger complex Business website 50 pages = $985.00 (Aus. inc GST)

Notes: actual prices may vary depending on the client's needs, graphics, menus, and custom requirements.

Our past Website Portfolio

Some of our local business clients we have created and support website's for are:

Our website support and design includes site content analysis and search tool inclusions. This results in integrity for results in the search engines.

Our website design methods follow the international standards as recommended and published by the World Wide Web Consortium (outside this site) (W3C) and promoted by the Web Standards Group (outside this site) (WSG).

It is essential to me to fully understand your core business to enhance the overall design and structure of your new website. Thus, providing expected functionality in your business website presence.

Recommended Australian Web Hosting Services:

I use and recommend a Australian based Quadra Hosting (outside this site) - they offer both windows web hosting and unix web hosting packages on local Australian servers for fast access by Australian visitors. USA based website hosting tends to be about 2.2 times slower - because of the round trip to - and - from the USA. Yes, I have tried USA hosting services, so I have experience with these issues.

The average monthly cost for Hosting your website is about $30.00 (Aus)

For detailed hosting plans see Quadra Hosting Plans (outside this site).
