Utilising the latest technologies and applying my design expertise I can create and implement an appealing website whatever the size and complexity.

Consistent branding, clean navigation and effective information architecture are all hallmarks in my approach to web design.

The importance of accessibility

The importance of accessible web standards means that the coding behind the site is as important as the visual appeal. With due consideration to keeping a website available to the widest of audiences I have developed a skillset which adheres to W3C compliance.

The programs, utilities and technologies I use consist of the following:

• XHTML
• Dreamweaver
• Flash
• CSS
• Target Browsers (IE, Opera, Mozilla, Netscape, Safari)
• Photoshop/Imageready/Illustrator
• W3C complicance to HTML 4.01/XHTML 1.0 and CSS 1.0

Online marketing

I have also been involved in online marketing by designing and writing email based newsletters and web advertising banners. I can also set up web hosting, domain registration, web forwarding, stat generation etc.

Specialist expertise

For more complex sites which require specialist expertise, such as database implementation or high-end Flash animation, I can draw upon the skills of a number of professionals to assist in these areas.

I wrote a website development guide for the HCIMA small business seminars which you can download here.
