Website Design And Repair Services

Website Design Services

This article will cover ideas to review on your website for designing and repairing your existing site. I do want to include this one shameless plug for my ebook that is meant for website owners who have a DIY capability.

GOAL
The main goal of every website design we complete is producing organic search results located on the first page of results.

STYLE
The look, feel, and navigation of website pages must have a natural and intuitive flow.

Since 1999, I have been building websites for mostly family-owned businesses and a few larger businesses. There are great tools out there today that allow efficient website building without having to be a super coding geek.

More than two decades ago, the first such program was FrontPage, and I did not get too much into that since it was so buggy and unreliable on different browsers and devices. I used Dreamweaver for a year or two but felt that was too over the top on the interface of actually building the site.

For a while now, I have been having success using Rapidweaver software with a twist, meaning it includes a lot of features from Fountain 6, an open-source software from Get Foundation. The web builder interface I am using is a drag-and-drop with room for coding and whatever I choose.

Early in my career, I was employed with IMB Global Services, where I was a project manager working on websites and technical documentation with American Express teams stationed around the globe. When I left that to become a high school science teacher, I took on training and facilitating groups covering education topics.

In one training effort, where I was teaching high school science after earning my master's. I was successful in being selected to instruct teachers in techniques that help them learn how to use technology in the classroom.

One of the takeaways I learned in the training segment is that people are very comfortable with a "drag and drop" approach when working on the computer. That understanding carried over so that, in the event, a client wants to take their website in-house, I can easily train them in using the Rapidweaver and Foundation interfaces, plus the cost of the software is affordable and includes a fixed price with no subscription.

I have experience and expertise using HTML, CSS, Adobe Suite, Affinity Suite, spreadsheets, PDFs, PHP, MySQL, FTP, SSH, e-commerce vendors, and cloud tools like Zapier, along with all variations of alphabet soup.

Most importantly, I speak the language of people who just want a top-quality website that their visitors will find useful, engaging and easy to use.

Developing websites and online businesses is an ongoing education since technology continues to develop at a rapid pace. I am focused on learning the newest techniques, the latest search engine trends, and the overall future direction of the web that will support my website design endeavors.
