I specialise in personal website design for small businesses and individuals. When I say 'personal' I mean it. You will deal with one person who will take care of your whole site instead of passing bits of it around to different people. This means you'll always know exactly who to talk to and they will know everything about the project. I also believe in meeting my customers, that is why I'm offering a free hours face-to-face consultation to people in the Oxford. Talking is still the best form of communication; it also gives me inspiration for my designs. I never use templates, my sites are always original, built from the ground upwards in handwritten html. I work like an artist and will collaborate with the customer over design and ideas wherever possible. I enjoy creating and have an eye for detail. I can also design any artwork, backgrounds and graphics needed for the site myself. So if you are missing a company logo there is no need to go elsewhere - it's an all-in-one package, for the same low rate. I offer maintainence after the site is built whether it be regular or not. If you need video or interactive design - no problem. I built this site myself and anthing you see on it I can do for you - and more! I can add films or create animations (see the Toons section). I can also create Flash navigation and do all sorts of interactive effects. I could build an entire site in Flash if necessary but find hybrids are usually more efficient. I do not host sites myself but can recommend the best companies and upload the site to the server of your choice. My rate is just £25 per hour. The smaller and simpler the site the cheaper it will be; larger, more complicated sites involve a greater investment - it really is that simple. Call me on 07999546688 -

Spire Properties is a Property Management and Letting Agency based in Headington. My maintenance involved regular updates of their housing list which is changing all the time. The website itself was quick to build, however third party domain registration caused a lot of problems. The moral of the story is don't register a domain unless you know what you are doing. Design aspects of this site include custom graphics, a customised scroll-bar, a java-script menu that follows the user as they scroll down the page, and email masking. It also includes optimised meta-tags and search engine submission. The unique design is based on the business logo and colours. The background texture is even taken from one of their business cards. Glaspole Records is a dealer in rare and collectable LPs and 78s. My maintenance of this site includes formatting and uploading the catalogue as excel and PDF, making it easier for all visitors to view and print. There is usually a deadline. Design aspects of this site include custom graphics, a customised scroll-bar, mouse-over buttons, a secure online order form and email masking. It also includes optimised meta-tags and search engine submission. This site is also a member of WebRing, thus getting a share in the traffic of other specialised records dealers. This website was turned out quickly. As an Oxford local Glaspole Records got the benefit of face-to-face consultation and the unique design was put together with the customer and altered where needed. It was designed for user-friendliness for older computers as well as new, as it needs to reach all customers.
