Website Design
I provide a highly personalised website design and management service for small businesses. My sites are responsive and quick to download.
Examples
" . . . I would like to book both rooms for the night of Thursday . . . I would also like to compliment you on your very helpful website."
— Customer's e–mail to Pauline Bainbridge, Ullathorns Farm Bed & Breakfast
"I am delighted with my updated website . . . a very professional job . . . pleased with the layout, the photographs are excellent and the text says everything I wanted and more."
— Belinda Strachan, owner of Bramble Cottage, Sedbergh
Design Principles
- Responsive pages structured to display well on desktop computers, lap–tops, tablets and smart phones
- Clearly written, concise and relevant text that will attract both search engines and your customers
- Pages designed with ease of navigation and the needs of the sight–impaired, and those with dyslexia, as priorities. (This approach actually benefits everybody). Please note that I never use dark or confusing backgrounds or fonts that are not fully 'web‑safe' or which I think are difficult to read
- Careful choice of website name, website address, metatags, page titles and headings
- Simple, effective, hand–written coding that attracts Google and other search engines. No Joomlah or WordPress templates!
