Tips and info

Presentation of your website

    Keep it simple

    These three words have never had a more important meaning than with your website's layout and content.

    • Web users want their information quickly.  If you don’t grab their attention within just a few seconds, they most likely are off to another site to find what they need.
    • Clear and concise navigation enables the user to get to the section of your site quickly and easily.
    • State your message early.  Give the user what they want quickly.
    • Avoid unnecessary text and images that clutter and obscure your message and make the site ineffective.  If all you get is a few clicks from the user, then it is important to make them count.

    Use quality images

    Good quality images are important  to users.  Blurry, unclear images do not present your website well.

    Crisp, sharp images will also appear better in the thumbnail versions displayed in search engine results, and may therefore be more likely to be clicked on by users.

      How much does website hosting and registration cost?

      Once you have registered your domain name you will need to host it on a server.

      As a free lance web developer, I do not offer web hosting packages. I can of course recommend a couple of hosting companies to you. I can also set up your site at your hosting company of choice for you.

      Hosting packages vary depending on the needs of the website.  Most websites can use companies such as goddady.com or dreamhost.com.  Their prices start at around $9.95 per month for hosting and approx $9.95 per year to register your domain name.
