Logo design is an important part of any project, it is the starting point for your web and print designs, so it is essential that the logo is personalised to your company and conveys the right image.
Hello and welcome to my site, I’m a graphic designer / web developer with over 4 years experience in the industry. I’ve been working at Perform Group for over 4 years now building such sites as World Snooker, FIBA TV, Rangers Football Club and FEI TV. I also work with friends on Red Dot Inc building and supporting cutting edge sites.
Web DesignDeveloping the simplest static single page of plain text to the more complex web sites, or electronic businesses.
Web DevelopmentW3C compliant XHTML & CSS coding, and a keen focus on website usability.
SEOThe process of improving the volume or quality of traffic to a web site.
Clearly there are numerous reasons why even the smallest of businesses can benefit from a Web presence, but here are five key considerations:
Visibility: With more and more consumers logging onto the Web to research products and services, if they are going to find your business, your business needs to be on the Web.
Reach: With a Web site, you are no longer limited to a customer base that is in physical proximity to your shop. Your place of business may be in London, but your customers can be in Bangkok.
Customer service: When customers can log onto your Web site and easily find the information they want-when they want it-their satisfaction increases.
Competition: A professional looking Web site can level the playing field for smaller companies trying to compete against larger enterprises. It’s also a way to stay in the game; even if people can’t find you on the Web chances are they can find your competitors.
Credibility: When you can point customers, partners, even potential employees or investors to a Web site, it tells them you are a serious business.
