Professional Level Website Design in Cornwall
Have you been given a low quotation for a new website? This is highly likely to prove to be a costly mistake. To produce a quality website that is of a professional level visually and coded using the correct methods for the search engines takes a lot of work and time. In many cases web sites are created to an amateur level, done quickly by cutting corners to get to your money fast. Even sites that look visually good are very often coded badly for the search engines. So, if you get a low quotation, beware! As in any purchases you choose to make, you will get what you pay for!

Database driven websites
Database driven websites offer dynamic content and interactive functionality. Examples would be an Online Property Sales or Car Dealers Database which would allow your clients to view cars or properties you have for sale, and allow them use Search Terms to find one based on type, location, type and maximum/minimum price etc. The system allows you to manage your database through a user-friendly CMS (content management system).
These dynamic web site systems feature Administration Tools to allow you to change the database data as required Online through web pages which allow you to ADD, UPDATE and DELETE database records as required. There is also a file/image upload facility.
Our dynamic systems allow automatic management of product or services information, allowing people to register on the website, tell a friend function, password protected pages, website searches and more. Database sites offer users up to date real time content that is regularly updated and sourced directly from your database.

E-Commerce
If your business can benefit from the sale of your products or services on the internet then you will want to consider an ecommerce website that will allow you to trade on the internet.
An e-commerce website acts as a storefront for the sale of your products and services. A well designed e-commerce website should gently guide the client through the sales process with well laid out content and design.
Different businesses have differing requirements. But, from the site owner’s point view, a key element of a well designed e-commerce website should include at least a well designed Content Management System with some of the following functionality:
- Dynamic Shopping cart with facility to add / edit / remove items
- Addition of shipping charges based on weight of each item
- Dedicated Control Panel for the shop Administrator
- Add / Edit / Delete – Items
- Shop Orders emailed on completion of transaction
- Shop Order total passed through to PayPal or Netbanx etc, for processing
If you want to sell products and services online, you will need to be able to accept credit cards. I can integrate your e-commerce website with the company of your choice to enable you to accept credit card orders in real time.

Search Engine Optimisation
My SEO (Search Engine Optimisation) services can provide good results by giving careful attention to the on-page and off-page elements required. By applying our SEO knowledge to your web pages, we give them the maximum chance of being found and indexed by the search engine spiders, which helps these SEO'd pages gain a high ranking.
I write the code of your web site pages in a manner that assists the Search Engine Spiders, this code can be written in HTML or XHTML. I ensure that the optimised pages are 'Search Engine Friendly'.
There are always two ways of creating pages, and whilst both can appear
visually identical, only one will bring increasing traffic, the one
which has been Search Engine Optimised and 'Spider Friendly'.

Client / Server Side Coding
I can add dynamic and interactive features to your already existing web site using client / server side programming. I use ASP for server side development and JavaScript for client side programming.
ASP
ASP stands for Active Server Pages and is a server side technology, which means it is executed on the server and then the pages are served to the browsers. ASP pages are just normal HTML with scripts embedded in them. ASP was introduced by Microsoft. There are other non -
Microsoft platforms too like, Chilli! ASP and Instant ASP (Halcyon Software).
ASP is easy to learn , understand and modify existing scripts. In ASP you have components like CDO, ASPEmail, ASP Upload which simplify complex tasks like sending email, handling uploads and lot other complex requirements.
ASP easily integrates with Microsoft Access Database and Excel Files.
JavaScript
JavaScript is a web based programming language, used to make web pages more interesting, intuitive, interactive and dynamic. It is mixed together with HTML and executed once a page is loaded. JavaScript is a 'client side' programming language. This means that it is the job of the user's browser software, whether it be Internet Explorer, Netscape Navigator or another, to decode the JavaScript and act accordingly.
