Web Authoring

I always use free and/or open source software in web design and maintenance and highly recommend the following:


And I recommend Ember Hosting for all your windows hosting requirements.

I will show you how to keep your website up to date, install all the software you need (its all free!) and provide guidance to all of the usual marketing techniques and protocols including Search Engine registration. I will set up all your email and be on hand while you find your feet and start to understand how the site works so that you can become master of your own site. I understand how difficult it can seem to a beginner as I was one myself at one time, however with a bit of study and application, the fog soon lifts


I have become very competent in HTML coding over the last few years, and while I admit I am not going to give you the results of an entire design team, I am very capable of giving you a web site to give you a presence on the web.  I am comfortable with CSS, and have a decent knowledge and ability when it comes to editing script and code in ASP, PHP and recently JAVA and have built sites for and arranged hosting in both Windows and Unix hosting environments and have an understanding of the peculiarities of both systems.  If I come across anything I donīt understand, I go out and read up on it until I do understand it and I am also blessed with some extremely talented friends and family.

This is an area I enjoy working in and although the web is a constantly evolving and changing animal, it is a field I thrive in.  For me it encompasses many of the skills that I have developed and in which I consider myself competent.  I design all graphics from source, take and optimise as many of the photographs needed myself, and although I may start out with a basic template, it will definatly be unrecognisable as such at the end.  

If you need basic content management setting up so that you may keep your site up to date yourself, I can arrange it and set you up with all necessary software to manage your site and email, and most of the software I use is Open Source, therefore FREE plus I have chosen packages that are easy to use and understand.    

  

Apart from this one, here are a few sites I have done. They are edited and maintained by their owners and are constantly changing their content and may not reflect the basic site I left them with, however, I am sure if you contacted the sites owners through their websites they would give you a recommendation and assurance that the sites were in excellent working order and as close to the original design brief when I delivered.
