Web Design Services
Your website reflects your organisation, it is your shop front – your business card – your message. You want to make sure that when visitors come to your website, the best possible message is presented to them about the professionalism of your business or organsiation. Therefore, to get the most out of your website, design, proper web standards coding and automatic SEO code are important.
Maura can build a new website for you, work with you on improving your existing website, customise wordpress as a website CMS and blog for your existing or new website and provide consultation and support in the continuing development of your website.
WordPress Powered Websites
All new websites are designed and developed with WordPress. WordPress is an excellent open source content management system that can power your website and also provide blogging, news and events type content also. However, if you prefer to have a website based on static html and css files that can also be developed for you.
I design your website and then code and programme the design into a wordpress theme. A wordpress theme both powers the layout and design of your website but has the power to provide all kinds of extra features for your website – such as adding news items, blog posts, calendars, photo-galleries, category pages, and all kinds of ways of presenting the layout of your content. Many of these features do not come as standard in a wordpress installed, they need to be sourced and developed and coded into the relevant wordpress template files. Contact me to discuss the types of content you require and I can provide you with more information about what is possible. For you, wordpress provides you with the means to update and add pages and posts yourself via a log in to the administration of your website via your own internet browser, so once your website is up and running, you will be able to manage all content yourself.
