Domain Name Registration

Claiming your domain name and making sure the registration doesn't expire.
A domain name is the unique set of letters that go together to make up your chosen identity for your website. The domain name for this website is seafront.net.nz. I own this domain name and pay a yearly fee to keep it. It is unique and there is no other seafront.net.nz in the world.

Website Design

I work closely with you, the client, and designing a website that best reflects your business, whether it's a small brochure type site, a shoppingcart sites using secure creditcard payment options or a Content Management System (CMS) which allows you to edit, change and add to your own website in your own time.

I can work with graphic design work already completed or work closely with a graphic designer to achieve the look you are after.

The websites that I design are individually suited to each client.

Starting with designing a layout using logos, and images, developing the colour range and fonts used to finally bring together a design that will ultimatley best reflect your business. This process can take some time but once a layout is decided upon then the building of the site can start.

The demand for good web design is increasing, revealed a recent Webcopyplus online poll. Almost 25% of web users indicated "poor visual presentation" as the number one element that drives them away from websites. Only 6.6% of web users who participated in a similar 2007 online poll indicated "poor visual presentation" as the main reason to abandon a website. That equates to a 267% increase during the two-year period. 

Building your website

I design and build websites that are light and fast using W3C standards and guidelines for search optimisation. This means that your website will look great, load quickly, will be user friendly and will have a greater chance of being found than some of the more 'flashy' sites.

I place a great deal of emphasis on building websites that are the perfect balance between client representation and viewer usability.

Website Hosting

Once your website is designed and built, the files that make up your website have to be stored on a server (computer with heaps of room) that is connected to the World Wide Web so that it is available to be accessed by anyone 24 hours a day 7 days a week

This incurs a monthly or yearly fee starting at  $17.00 plus gst per month.

For this you get a hosting platform that has high performance, security and robustness so your website is available at all times.
