How to make a website

In my 10 years in the business I have built websites ranging from 'one simple page' to high-profile systems with thousands of registered users.

Because the website you need is specific to your needs - I believe each project should be planned and built according to its needs. So I do not provide a one size fits all solution.

Where possible I use open source technology; often this means that I can easily add-on and adapt functionality that has already been built, which helps to keep the development needed to a minimum - saving you time and money.

Some possible features are:

  • Content management - allowing you to add/edit content (whenever they need).
    So you won't generally need to pay me again to update your site.
  • Different functions for different types of users
    This may involve showing different content to different types of users/customers.
  • Community Allowing users to contribute to content, or contact one another.
  • Keeping customers/users informed
    email newsletters or notifications of new content.
  • e-commerce and advertising
    helping you make money from the site
  • Feedback
    visitors and users of your site can email you via the site, or rate and comment on content.
