Mara's Musings

I am currently designing a website for a virtual environment digital artist who renders high resolution images and animations.

Have a look at the website as it develops.  The galleries will go online in the next day or so - this guy is amazingly talented so do take a look.

Search Engine Optimization is an essential aspect of web design without which your site can become lost in searches. The old phrase “needle in a haystack” is one that can easily be applied to individual sites in the huge “haystack” of sites online.

SEO can target the search engines so that your website has a web presence. That is people can find it by typing in key words related to your service or product.

It can be a long and complex process but essentially it looks at which search terms as used by potential customers and making sure that when these are used your website is high enough up the listing to catch their attention.

Please check my website for more information.

Did you know that once the design stage is complete many of my websites are built on line?

Many of my clients use WordPress based sites which provides them with a full content management system. Although those with complex sites tend to retain me to carry out routine management and maintenance the simpler sites are often run by the clients themselves.  Even those with basic IT skills can  avail themselves of my tuition services so that they can run the site effectively and of course they are always welcome to come back to me at any time if they run into anything that causes them an issue.

If you click on any of the websites that are showing that they are still “under construction” you can see the changes happen before your eyes – providing of course that I am working on it at the time. Whoever said web design couldn’t be exciting! Could this be the next spectator sport?! I very much doubt it but if you are one of my clients it does mean you can see the “work in progress” in a very literal sense.
