Services

To make things easier for you, I have split my services into packages. The higher level package contains more features and is aimed towards clients who need a more demanding design / development solution. Currently there are only packages for websites, however I will be adding graphic design packages as time goes on. All current graphic design queries should be submitted through the contact page. Please read the Terms and Conditions before ordering any services.

It should be noted that clients to not necessarily have to be based in the UK. Business can be done internationally purely through emails and PayPal transactions.

Web Package 1

Web Package 1 is ideal for those who just need to get the message across about who they are and what they do. This will be useful if you have a small business or shop and want your customers to be able to gain a better understanding of how you work. This would also be suited to those who have a band or are a member of a club and want people to be able to access information on it.

Due to the lack of dynamic content that would be generated through a CMS (see below) I can guarantee that all Package 1 websites will be valid XHTML and CSS.

Web Package 1 includes the following features:

  • 4 static web pages
  • Contact form with PHP email function

Cost: £150
Estimated completion time: 1 Month


Web Package 2

This is similar to Web Package 1 only with the addition of a CMS (Content Management System). A CMS will allow the client to login to a special part of their website where they can update specific pages with their desired content.

This is all done through the use of forms; similar to profile updating on MySpace or Facebook. Web Package 2 contains the following features / options:

  • News bulletins page
  • 'About Us' page
  • Downloads / Files section
  • Photo gallery
  • Contact form with PHP email function

All of the features you see in Web Package 2 are fully manageable by the client; i.e. they can login to their CMS and edit what is displayed on each page with minimal effort. The contact form will also allow users to contact you directly.

Cost: £220
Estimated completion time: 6 to 8 weeks


Cross Browser Testing

Cross browser testing should be a high priority for every website designer / developer. This will ensure that the website will look consistent across as many browsers as possible. I can guarantee that all of my work will be tested for consistency in the following browsers:

  • Apple Safari
  • Internet Explorer 6
  • Internet Explorer 7
  • Mozilla Firefox
  • Opera

Recommended Hosting

I recommend the use of
dream-hosting.co.uk as they offer very competitive services at low prices. They also have a fast and reliable support service.

Their Silver package can quite easily cope with a website similar to those in my portfolio.
