Web Applications
Database Driven
Completely customised web application which is uniquely designed from the ground up. Ensure your business requirements are met and your users needs are taken into account.
CMS
Use a Content Management System such as WordPress to develop your website and allow a user to easily update content. Can be managed by myself or self-managed once set up is complete.
Web Design
Use a pre-designed layout and theme from a website such as ThemeForest or I can build a completely unique user interface. All designs will use the latest technology and standards to keep your website modern.
Static website
Build a simple HTML-only website which can be deployed quickly and easily provided you have the content ready to go. This is ideal for a website which does not require regular updates.
Hosting
Amazon Web Services
AWS is a cloud computing services which offers dozens of services. The most used service in web development allows a user to have a Virtual Private Cloud containing all required server software (EC2), document storage (S3) and databases (RDS). This is my recommended setup for any significant web development undertaking.
Virtual Private Server
A Virtual Private Server (VPS) is a small server on a larger machine which effectively runs as its own machine, allowing a user to have far more customisation and flexibility in their server setup. Although I recommend using AWS (which has a VPS service as part of a wider platform), I can manage a VPS with another provider if this has already been setup. In the past I have experience with Australian web hosts ServerMule, Crucial and Webcity.
Online Marketing
Social Media
I can set up and manage (or allow you to self manage) your social media presence. Led by Facebook and Twitter, social media is one of the most recent revelations in promoting business across the internet, and has become an increasingly important factor in SEO and link building.
Direct Marketing
E-mail campaigns are an effective way to target users who have subscribed to your newsletter(s) through your web-site or by other means. I provide a full range of solutions which can range from one newsletter for your entire subscriber database, to numerous newsletter tailored to specific members of your subscriber database.
Search Engine Optimisation
Google drives the majority of the worlds interest usage and this isn't going to be changing any time soon. It's important to identify the key words and phrases for your business which will give your website the best search engine exposure.
