Back to HOME page Have a look at some sites from my portfolio Client Sites in Progress Get in touch

With a degree in business administration and information technology from the University of Natal, a diploma in design from the Regent Academy of Fine Arts in London, and over ten years experience working for software houses both large and small, I have both the technical know-how and practical experience to design a website that works for you.

My philosophy when designing websites is best summed up with Einstein's famous quote:

"Everything should be as simple as it is, but not simpler."

A website is made up of two elements : what you can see and, almost more importantly, what you can't.

The best websites are designed not only to look eye-catching, easy to read and easy to navigate, but also to work consistently across a number of platforms and browsers, and download as fast as possible. Crucially, they should be designed with Search Engine Optimisation as an integral feature.

ALL my websites include SEO techniques as an essential part of the design process, not as a "value-added extra". SEO includes the addition of meta tags, assigning of relevant keywords, and other techniques so that the top search engines can find and index your site.

What Does It All Cost ?

Every website project is unique and I will be happy to provide you with a quote based on your specific requirements. However, to give you a guide to the costs, I have included some examples :
