eCommerce
With eCommerce becoming the norm and the Internet growing constantly in popularity, eCommerce is presenting new ways to reach your customers. eCommerce offers a number of unique advantages including:
- Low overheads
- Measurable data that can be presented in real-time/online
- Less management
- Low risk
With the power and security of on-line transaction services such as: e-Path and PayPal, taking advantage of on-line credit card payments is easier than ever. I have exceptional experience in creating eCommerce websites that utilise and integrate the previous services and more. With my knowledge I am also able to create custom shopping carts that behave and direct customers the way a client wants.
Blogging
As an avid blogger myself, I have gained extensive experience utilising blogging software. WordPress, MovableType and Blogger are just a few of the platforms I have become experienced with both in utilisation and development.
The majority of my experience comes from custom developed Blogging engines/applications. I have created very powerful custom blogging engines as part of a web application that was tailored to the client. This allows the client unlimited control on features and complexity, while maintaining a robust interface. I also specialise in integrating various other forms of platforms that can include: blogs, wikis, custom contact forms (with templated email sending), forums, newsletters and much more.
Search Engine Optimisation
In order to get to the top of search engines, each website I work on is built with every major search engine (Google, Yahoo!, MSN/Bing, and many more) in mind. I use all natural SEO techniques such as meta tag content keywords and meaningful image alternate text in order to get the website as high as possible in the rankings.
Social Marketing
In order to reach a wider audience, services and technologies such as YouTube, FaceBook, Twitter and MySpace can help increase website traffic. By using my experience with these social network tools, the volume of traffic to a website I build will increase and improve its popularity.
Consulting
I offer consulting to clients for any sized projects, and across all areas that I am experienced in. My area of expertise consists of medium to large scale systems/projects with complex database architecture.
