Web Design - with a difference

You will find details of my web design services in two tabs in the training section. That might seem strange, but the reason it is there is that I prefer to get you up and running with your own website and to show you how to maintain and update it yourself.

If it's a static website that doesn't require updating, then I will do 100% of the work. If it is a website that requires periodic updates then I will do 95% of the work and show you how maintain it yourself. This is much cheaper and more satisfying, than relying on a web designer to carry every single modification to your website.

So have a look at the Combined Services tab and the Website Design tab in the training section and see how I can help you.
