Affordable, Accessible Web Design
You've decided your business needs a website.
Research shows that all businesses, both large and small, benefit from having a clear web presence. Now all you have to do is decide what you want to your site to do for you and your business and throw together some pages using that package you got on the cover of a magazine.
If only it was that easy.
The large number of different browsers and devices in use along with accessibilty legislation means that off the shelf wizard created sites just don't cut it any more.
You need a professionally designed, accessible site which is future-proof and can be created and maintained on a very tight budget!
First Steps
By deciding your business would benefit from having an online presence you have completed the first step.
By looking for a suitable web designer you are well on the way to having your site up and running.
How do you decide which designer/developer to use?
Do it yourself?
- Perhaps, but you've got a business to run and you don't have the time to learn a new set of skills.
Do you go for a large, well established agency?
- This can be very expensive!
Do you get one of your employees to put together a site?
- They're too busy doing their own work
Do you get your friend's son to make you a site?
- Cheap, but is he aware of legal requirements for a business site
Do you find a qualified, experienced freelance designer/developer?
- You just have!
I am a graduate of the Open University specialising in Web-based technologies. I have constructed a number of business websites ranging from simple static sites to customised E-commerce sites. I am aware of the accessibility requirements and all the sites I design are AA compliant (with the majority being AAA compliant).
And most importantly, my sites perform very well in all the major search engines.
