Aggelia Web Design
Web Design
I offer a professional site design / web development service, which includes advice on content. I do not use standard templates so each website is a unique design built to present your image and meet your needs.
I believe that a professionally designed website should not have to be prohibitively expensive. I will work to your budget to bring you the best site for your money. If your budget is small you can start with a few pages and build up over time.
Improving your existing site
If you already have a site that needs updating/redesigning I would be happy to look at it and give general advice without obligation. A detailed report covering the design and content of your website can also be provided for a small fee that will be credited towards any subsequent design work undertaken.
Accessibility
I create sites that everyone can access and use. Where I use javascript I always strive to create an alternative for those who do not have it or do not like to use it. Navigation is the most important factor and needs to be clear and simple. There are many ingenious, creative and imaginative navigation systems on the web but they are often too complicated . While they may look impressive they confuse many visitors and turn them away.
Guaranteed Satisfaction
At the end of the day I want to do a good job and you do not want to pay for something that does not meet with your expectations. My success as a web designer/developer is built on my reputation.
Hosting
Once your site has been created you will need a reliable web-server to host it. I can host your site and ensure that it is well maintained and backed up for an annual fee. Aggelia is not the cheapest web hosting option, but if you have an Aggelia hosted site you get a lot more than web space. I only host sites that I have created because the hosting I provide includes all the support you need to keep your site as up-to-date and as fresh as the day when it was first published.
I run a limited portfolio of hosted sites so I can offer both designer and hosting support to all hosted sites. When my portfolio is full I will no longer be offering design or hosting services to new clients.
Where are the packages?
I run flexible hosting rather than offering hosting packages. I aim to provide the resources you need, when you need them, at a fair price. Please contact me to discuss your needs.
Graphic Design
Need a professionally designed logo for your website or a new image for your company or organisation? Stationery, advertising, brochures produced by a fully qualified graphic designer can make all the difference.
Whatever your budget Aggelia's associate designer can help.
Recent/Current Projects
http://www.isipt.org/ispt6/. This was a design and build project for an academic conference in Cape Town, South Africa.
This is one of many conferences organised by ISIPT, an international society.
http://www.c-i-c.org.uk is currently in development for Commitment in Communities.
The site is built on a bespoke content management system that allows CiC staff to upload documents and change site content.
http://www.stats4mission.org.uk is a pilot site for the Methodist Church in England and Wales. This pilot project collected data from 1,237 churches in 122 Circuits/8 Districts. A secure server was used for each church to input data into a user-friendly form that catered for those who are unfamiliar with web forms (updating via AJAX to avoid the need to submit the data). Online statistical reports were produced from the data collected.
http://www.mandsmethodists.org.uk has been developed for the Manchester and Stockport Methodist District. The site includes an interactive map of circuits and churches, intranet and mailing lists for communication across the district.
http://www.vcipt.org is a complete redesign for a research consortium with a secure members area to facilitate interaction between university researchers and the member companies.
