Managed Hosting and Domain Registration
Don't have time to deal with finding the right hosting plan? Don't worry about it. I provide hosting on a server that I personally manage for as little as $100.00 a year. I'll also help you select and register a domain name if you need one.
Web Design
I can create a stunning design or implement one you already have. I can take your brand image and create a design that uses it to its full potential. All too often useful websites are overlooked because they lack clarity of elements, contain over-the-top designs, or are just very hideous. Let me help you find the balance between visual beauty and utility.
Drupal
Drupal is a highly customizable content management system (cms). It provides a framework for the rapid development of solid websites from simple online business cards to highly interactive web applications. With a growing list of community-maintained, highly customizable, tested modules. You can be sure your Drupal website will be free of clunky elements that just don't work or need rebuilding every time you need to add something. Furthermore, if you're on a tight budget, a Drupal website is simple enough for a non-technical person to maintain the majority of the content.
Search Engine Optimization
Once you have a website, how will you get people to visit it? Beware of the modern-day snake oil salesmen who call themselves SEO analysts. No one knows for sure what makes search engines tick except for the developers themselves. And let's just say they're compensated well enough to not be inclined to share much. The algorithms used by search engines change as quickly as the seasons, and what works in increasing your rank for one may loose your rank in another. Search engines seek to find you relevant information, and their developers are a step ahead of every shady scheme. The best way to optimize your website for search engines is to provide quality content in a format that is usable across devices. Whether you need a new website or optimization of an existing website, I can help you get your content where search engines can read it.
Search Engine Marketing
If you want people to know who you are, you need to put yourself out there. If you're starting a new website, the only way you'll be found is if you become an internet meme (and you probably don't want that kind of notoriety) or if you spend some money on advertising. One great way to do this is to use Search Engine Marketing. I can manage accounts with the major search providers to get your link displayed to your target demographic. I'll also provide you with analytical data, so you can see the results.
Security
Your website is available around the world, 24 hours a day. While mass-exposure will bring you the prospective clients and customers you're seeking, forms and dynamic web pages are often the target of "hackers" who would exploit your site for their own personal gain. I can't tell you how many sites I've inherited where the developers have completely overlooked the coding practices that protect websites from these attacks.
Cross Site Scripting and SQL Injection are some of the most common exploitations hackers use to hijack websites today. They can cause you to be blacklisted by search engines, or install malware on your visitors' computers. I can build you a website that is immune to most of these attacks, or fix a website that has fallen victim to them.
