For all blogs I use Wordpress. Wordpress is one of the most popular blogging platforms on the Internet. Furthermore it free to install, modify and use. As Wordpress is free, the development costs attributed to this type of website revolve around the time involved to set up Wordpress, design a theme or add additional functionality. With this in mind the cost to set up and run a blog is usually low.

When it comes to online stores there is a lot of choice on the market. Free solutions, carts you can purchase. It is also possible to have a custom shopping cart created for you. As a web developer it is my job to know what is out there and present you with the best options.
At the moment, for a small-to-medium independant stores the best shopping cart availible is Magento. Firstly it is free, this greatly reduces the outlay required to get the project of the ground. By being open source it is run by thousands of people around the world. This means that any bugs or errors in the cart are quickly found and tidied up. This should give you piece of mind over the reliability of the software.
Finally, it genuinely is excellent. I encourage you to take a tour of the store and admin side to see the benefits of this software first hand.

I offer an all in one care package for websites. By employing me to look after your website you will be freeing up your time to focus on doing whatever you do. By focusing on what you do you can make money without having to worry about updating your website or checking for errors.
What does the all in one package contain
Updating - Send me the information that you would like to post along with any images. I will format this content and make it ready for the web. The content will then be posted on your website on the date that you specify. By allowing me to post the content you are removing the chances of anything going wrong.
Reports - Once a month you will be given a detailed report about your site. The report will contain the number of visitors to your site, your search engine rankings along with a host of other stats. I will analyse these stats and produce a list of recommendations. Some recommendations may be included in the price of the 'all in one' package. Others may require some extra investment. Either way you will be given advice to increase traffic, search engine rankings and purchases(if you are running a shop).
Advert Analysis - If you have ads on your website I will analyse whether you are getting the most of out them. The position of the ads greatly affects the money that they generate. In your monthly report you will recieve feedback on these ads. If you are paying for adsense I will analyse your keywords and make sure that you are targetting the right people.
If I feel that improves can be made you will recieve feedback in the monthly report.
Back Ups - Your database will be backed up either daily, weekly or monthly depending on the content being posted on your website. Your website files will be backed up as they are changed. Should any data or files become lost or corrupted a back up will be deployed within 24 hours.
Stores - For stores I can maintain product lists, add new products. Set up offers etc.
What this isn't
The idea behind this package is to give you peace of mind and allow you to focus on other things. However I do not do everything for you. If you wish to add content to your website, you will be required to give me the content.
Furthermore, this really is maintaining an existing website. If you wish me to add extra functionality then this will be priced up separately. If you want your layout to be tweaked, again, this will be priced up separately.
What does this cost?
Every package is tailored to meet your needs. Price is determined by the number of updates, the frequency of reports and amount of back ups that you require. Prices start at £10 a month. To recieve a free, no obligation quote please send me the specifications for the site via the contact page.
A redesign can be either partitial or complete. There are many reason's why a site will need to be redesigned. Below I listed the 3 most common
Whatever the reason for a redesign I can provide you with the ideal solution to get your website the way you want it to be.
How do you go about a redesign?
First I will look over your existing website. I will then listen to where you want to take your website and what you want to achieve. At this point I will be able to give you a quote. I will explain my quote and tell you exactly where your money is going. Once payment and the brief is agreed I will begin work. At every step of the way you will be able to view what I am doing and add your input and make corrections.
Cost
The cost of a redesign varies upon the brief it is based upon. To recieve a free, no obligation quote please send me the specifications for the site via the contact page.
