Web Design
I’ve been passionate about web design since the internet really took off in 1996, since then I have dabbled with web projects part time on a personal basis, whilst working in different fields for my day job. I’ve recently had enough time to devote more attention to what was more of a hobby. My specialism lies in SEO (search engine optimisation) where I achieve proven results on Google search engine placement.
It’s no mystery how to get high up on Google search indexes, SEO is often deemed to be a bit ‘black magic’ and all too often companies lack of understanding in this area leads them to be scammed by opportunist marketing cowboy’s. Good content, careful analysis of your market, intelligent structuring of your website data, and a lot of hard work in generating relevant incoming links will provide results within 4 weeks for an established website. However if your domain name is brand new, expect to wait 4-6 months before you start to see consistent results on Google.
The following are examples of some of my work in web design and content management :
the-real-garden-company.com - Designed and launched in April 2009, this home grown landscaping business provides a highly skilled service for London gardens. this site partners two sister company's - the-real-building-company.com & rainwater-harvest.com which offer tailored services for those wanting a complete package.
Blebinfo.co.uk - Designed and launched in Feb 2006 this Medical support forum and portal has close to 1000 registered users and is positioned at the top of Google on a broad range of keywords related to collapsed lungs (spontaneous Pneumothorax). It's built around a phpBB forum with a customised portal integrated on top of it. Currently receiving around 20,000 hits per year.
Kaneconstruction.co.uk - Launched in 2002 for an independent construction contractor, through recent SEO optimisation this site now places in the top 5 results on Google worldwide for the following keywords : 'paving epsom', 'surfacing epsom' and 'groundwork epsom'. It currently receives around 10,000 hits per year.
