Web Design & Web Programming

Having developed web pages for both individuals and small-to-medium-sized companies, I am fully capable of designing and implementing websites suited to your needs. This includes:

• Establishing an original, clear, and esthetically pleasing design for your website.
• Creating an effective navigation mechanism for your site, allowing visitors to easily find the information they need. This can include static or dynamic menus, sitemaps, search functionality, breadcrumb trails, footer page links, etc.
• Creating or obtaining artwork for the site's general look and feel, or for its navigation.
• Making your site e-commerce friendly, allowing you to sell goods online. This usually implies:
  • Implementing an electronic shopping cart
  • Setting up an account with a third party online payment-processing company/bank allowing you to receive online payments, issue refunds, etc.
  • Providing you with a secure (password-protected) administrative interface in order to monitor sales and follow up on leads.
• Implementing interactive elements such as forums, message boards, chat rooms, real-time statistics, forms & surveys, etc.
• Creating a back-end adminstrative Content Management System (CMS), allowing administrators to easily modify their site's content using a simple and intuitive interface.
• Integration of Flash animations, videos, and/or audio clips.
• Optimizing site content to improve sale conversions and return-on-investment, with emphasis on your site's ease-of-use, readability, and overall effectiveness.
• Optimizing your text and site layout to maximize your search engine ranking.
• Custom script programming in PHP, Perl, C++, Java, or ASP.
• When needed, gathering a team of competent web designers, artists and programmers to create the best website possible with the budget available.

I have worked in various different environments, and can comfortably develop websites on a wide range of platforms including UNIX (running Apache webserver with PHP & Perl, and using MySQL databases), Windows (running IIS or Apache, with ASP Javascript and SQL Server or Oracle database) and Windows CE (for handheld devices or embedded systems, running CE web server and using ASP).

I may prove to be especially helpful if you do not currently have a website but wish to establish an online presence for you or your business, as I can reliably accomplish the four critical tasks necessary for a website's online success:

1. Host your website on highly reliable servers with uptime guarantees.
2. Design your website using the latest technology and standards.
3. Promote your site on leading search engines, in regular search results as well as pay-per-click (PPC) listings, and create keyword-rich content on your site.
4. Update & Manage your website to adapt to constantly changing online environment & trends.

Search Engine Optimization & Marketing

A great website is useless if no one knows about it. In today's competitive online market, all possible approaches need to be considered in order to successfully promote and market a new website. This includes:

• Keyword optimization on your web pages to achieve top listings in the leading search engines such as Google, Yahoo!, MSN, AOL and AskJeeves.
• Keyword research, to uncover which words (including all possible variations and combinations) people use to find the services and products you offer or sell.
• Search engine submission to previously mentioned search engines, as well as other secondary search engines (Altavista, Lycos, Hotbot) and directories (Yahoo!, ODP, Looksmart).
• Creation and management of pay-per-click accounts with Google Adwords, Overture, and E-spotting, with bids adjusted depending on your desired monthly budget. These will guarantee a steady stream of visitors to your website.
• Direct advertising and promotion during website launch on related Usenet groups, message boards, and other related websites.
• Proactive link exchange campaign to increase Google/Yahoo! Pagerank rating. As a general rule, the more inbound links you have pointing to your website, the higher your ranking will be on leading search engines.
• Word-of-mouth/Print advertising in order to increase your potential customer base.

I have been promoting websites and managing Pay-per-click campaigns for over five years and therefore have a solid understanding of how search engines work, and what is needed to obtain high listings. With pay-per-click campaigns, I can target very specific keywords or combination of keywords, thus allowing you to reach a good number of clients at a much lower cost.
