What I can do for you

I love building websites. There’s not much more satisfying than starting with a blank canvas and piecing together a website.

Whether you:

  • Are thinking about setting up your first website
  • Already have a web presence but want to update the design
  • Have a design ready to go, and need it converted to HTML, or
  • Have a static website that you want converted to a content managed website

I can probably help  you out. Get in touch with me to have a chat about any web requirements you have.

What you can expect from ScreenCandy

I’m not going to bore you with my technical knowledge here, because I know that most of my clients just want to work with a web developer who talks in plain English. Instead, I’ll give you a quick taster of the kind of service you can expect from ScreenCandy throughout your website project.

  • First, we will discuss your needs so I can get an idea of your vision for the site. Who are the audience? What do you want to achieve? What websites do you like/dislike? All this helps me build up a picture of your website.
  • After that, I can advise you on the site’s information architecture and content structure. I have many years experience working on a range of websites: from tiny sole trader sites, to huge local government sites, so I am well experienced in this.
  • Then we get to the fun bit – the design. I won’t just design you a flashy website with no regard for accessibility and usability. I’ll take into account things like colour contrast and spacing of elements to ensure your website is readable as well as slick.
  • The same thing applies for the code I use to develop your website: There’s no point having a site that looks great, if it takes forever to load. I code valid XHTML and CSS… with a little bit of jQuery thrown in. Basically, your website will be fast and compatible with all major browsers. It’s also great for SEO (Search Engine Optimization).
  • Of course, you will want to update your own site, and that’s not a problem either. I use WordPress to power all my sites. In fact, I love WordPress so much, I have devoted a whole page where you can find out all about it.
  • Social media is a huge part of any web presence. I can help you tap into this potential by integrating your site with the likes of Facebook, Twitter and YouTube. I can also advise you how to make the most of these channels once you are up and running.
  • It’s not just social media integration I can help with. I even offer services like building customised Facebook ‘pages’, Twitter profiles, YouTube profiles, so that your customers can instantly recognise your brand across multiple marketing platforms.
  • And then there are all the little extras behind the scenes that really help you make the most of your website. Like keeping track of your visitors with Google Analytics, or making sure your site is as SEO friendly as possible.

Anything else?

If you are worried that I sound like a one man band, then let me assure you that I can draw upon a huge network of contacts, web developers, social media and SEO gurus. If you need advice with something webby, chances are I can find someone to help.
