Services offered by Simon Dyer Web Design

Complete Websites:
This is my main activity. I can create a complete website for you from scratch, including advising you about planning the site and the amount of pages we will need, designing the overall look, creating the pages themselves and all image preperation, SEO (Search Engine Optimisation), and any other matter that arises. This is where my long experience really counts.

I can also advise on such matters as cost effective hosting, domain names, a suitable policy regarding links to and from other sites etc.

All in all I can take your idea for a website and turn it into reality, along the way ensuring maximum exposure in search engines and a high quality result.

Statistics & Search Engine Optimisation:
All sites I create have Statistics provided by Statcounter. The information this provides enables us to optimise your pages for the search engines by showing what keywords were used to find the site or where visitors came from. These stats also provide a general indication of visitor location, time spent on site; repeat visits etc. This information is only accessible to the site owner and myself - your stats are valuable commercial information and should not be shared with anyone.

The general information these stats provide are of themselves interesting, but their main benefit is allowing the pages to be written in such a way as to target visitors by search engine optimisation techniques.

As an example try a Google search for jeans stuff or Mechanical Music to see how my clients benefit from these techniques. Their high rankings on Page 1 of the Google results are not an accident.

Photoshop Work:
This covers the enhancement, preperation and resizing of your images for the site. Many mistakes are made at this stage - I have years of experience in both the internet and print industries to carry out this work effectively.

I can also take the photos for clients' sites.

Movies:
If you want you can spice your site up with a movie. (These examples work with Quicktime).

You might also want to consider making a movie out of individual photos, for example of your products, and adding commentary. To the right is an example of one I did with photos taken on a trip to The States, with music instead of a commentary. This example is humorous, but the same technique of panning and zooming can be applied to photos of your products or to illustrate your services.

Or how about a Quicktime VR Panorama? This will give viewers a 3D look at your factory or whatever else you want it to which they can zoom in and zoom out, traverse etc. Here's one on the left that I made for Cirencester Rugby Club. Click and drag with the mouse or use the arrow keys to pan. Use the shift and control keys to zoom in and out or use the plus and minus signs in the controls below the image. (4.2 megs so let it load).

Conclusion:
Simon Dyer Web Design offers the complete solution to your requirements: Complete Websites, Movies, Photoshop work are all services I either provide or help you set up.
