I carry out the full set of work for Web site creation.
Principal directions of my activities are as follows: - site concept design (content setup, User Controls positioning, etc.)
- design of pages (color/fonts theme, etc.)
- selection and design of site's pictures and graphic elements
- model pages creation
- creation of difficult to program site components (site search, chat, forum, guestbook, online polls, etc.)
- selection of necessary site components (chat, forum, guestbook, etc.) to implement on the basis of free programs (scripts) or commercial products.
- site pages creation
- site assembling
- site support (addition/alteration of site content, design remaking, HTML-code correcting work, etc.)
The sites that I develop fall into four broad categories. However, every site is as individual as the client requires. You may decide to start with a simpler site and upgrade to a more complex site with time.
The quickest, easiest and cheapest way to get your business on the web. A static site will typically contain contact information, details of the company's business, details of product lines, etc. This can quickly be achieved by reusing your current publicity material. What can I do for you? - create a site for you from scratch
- convert your electronic documents
- convert photographs, paper documents and videos
- optimize the size of your web site pages
- arrange web site hosting
- arrange domain name registration, i.e. www.yourname.com
Allows your customers to communicate with you. Dynamic sites can allow customers to add themselves to a mailing list for further information, or fill in on screen forms to send you their details, requirements and interests. Forms can be written that check as the customer proceeds and help can be offered on the way, e.g., the customer could be reminded to enter their postcode. Forms can also be written that change as the customer makes choices, e.g. when the customer selects motorbike insurance, the form doesn't request whether the vehicle is a soft top. The site can also respond immediately to the customer, e.g. automatically calculating the VAT payment for a product.
| What can I do for you? - convert your current paper based or telephone based forms
- develop the code for checking the forms
- set up the email address for the form to be sent to
- develop behaviour to make your site more professional, e.g. a product could be displayed from a different angle when the customer points the mouse at it
Allows the information in your site to be updated instantly. Database sites are ideal for holding changing details of your products, such as price, availability, location, delivery date, etc. Unlike static and dynamic sites, database sites can be updated instantly to show changes within products - e.g. the location of a parcel can change by the minute. Often a database site will be combined with an eCommerce site. However a database site by itself is suitable for customers who hold an account with you, e.g., to allow trade customers to check their invoices, track their orders, etc. What can I do for you? - design the required database
- develop the database access
- implement validation methods, e.g. an account number and password
- implement secure communication, where the customer provided information is encrypted, i.e. converted mathematically into numbers, and then securely transmitted over the Internet
- arrange hosting that allows databases and secure communications
Allows anyone with a credit or debit card to buy through the site. Customers can purchase electronically by a credit or debit card. The purchase can be charged while the customer is waiting and any problems can be instantly displayed to the customer. The credit card information must be handled securely and passed over the internet in a secure way. Often an eCommerce site will also need access to a database as well. What can I do for you? - implement access to credit and debit card payment
- implement the secure communications necessary for encrypting customer information, e.g. credit card number
- implement a checkout/basket for multiple purchases
- arrange credit card handling agents
