Greetings to you all and a very belated Happy and Prosperous New Year!

Firstly, I would like to thank all of you, who have engaged my website design and development services over the last year, for your continued support and to reassure you of my full commitment to maintaining and extending your enduring presence online. To illustrate the point I have provided my current web portfolio below.

Hopefully this update will at least fill part of the glaringly obvious void created by the lack of my own (appropriate) website - I fully intend to address this in the near future, but suffice it to say, it’s been a busy year, and you my clients (and potential clients), naturally come first!

Here's a quick reminder of the full range of design, authoring and multimedia services I am currently providing:

• A professional image, corporate, individual or otherwise, is key to creating the right impression.
• Accessible online globally 24-7, your website is undeniably your single most important marketing asset.
• It should therefore communicate its message clearly and concisely.
• It should also amuse, entertain and reward its viewers by delivering its content in a dynamic, responsive and engaging manner.

While the content and functionality may be perfectly up to date, a flagging and tired-looking design may obstruct a sites’ ability to convey its message effectively, potentially turning customers away.

This can often be addressed by updating certain key graphical elements of the site such as logos, menus and colour schemes – a more cost effective solution than a complete bottom up rebuild.

Alterations to the code behind the site can also make it more accessible to a wider audience, improve search engine rankings and facilitate ongoing maintenance and updates.

Successfully proven e-commerce applications can start earning you money in a matter of weeks. Depending on customer requirements, either off-the-shelf or bespoke shopping cart solutions may be integrated into existing sites or developed for new ones. Typically an e-commerce site would incorporate a fully integrated payment gateway interface for processing secure debit / credit card transactions.

A content management system (CMS) enables you to easily update text and upload new images to your site using a simple and intuitive web based interface. By separating the site content from the design, you can freely edit your content without compromising its design integrity. Essential for maintaining large dynamic websites.

Many industries and applications require more than static text and images to illustrate their wares - adding sound, movement and interactivity to a website can be achieved through the use of Flash animation, streaming audio and video.

A beautifully designed site with all the bells and whistles is useless if no one can find it - any combination of marketing methods can be deployed to drive high value traffic to your site, ensuring that it reaches its target audience and attains maximum visibility.

• Site build (statistical analysis, content presentation & careful choice of meta tags).
• Search engine marketing / optimisation (SEO).
• Directory listings.
• Targeted link swapping.
• Online advertising (pay per click, banner ads).
• Email newsletters.
• Ad campaigns in conventional print & broadcast media.
