Welcome
August 22, 2011
I am Pete McCabe and I'm a freelance web designer and developer based in London. I can organise all aspects of your web presence, from layout and design to build and deployment.
Managed Web Delivery
I can provide for all your web delivery needs from planning and design through to build and hosting. I can integrate your site into external services such as SMS, Facebook or Amazon, manage your site's search ranking, set up e-commerce facilities and monitor / maintain your site once live.
Planning, design and control
Vital to any succesful delivery is thoughtful planning from the outset, followed up by efficient and careful control of the project as it evolves and develops into the site and services that you need to see in play. Expect well executed and clearly written documents right from the quote stage.
Creative design
A site needs to look good, but good web design is always a combination of both style and function. I will create visually attractive properly branded designs that are styled to satisfy your user base, and work with you to ensure that the site interface must drive proper user responses and be constructed with an eye on making the site build as trouble-free as possible.
Hosting
Whether your needs are as simple as an effective brochure site, or driven by the demands of complex web applications and high demand where only dedicated servers will do, I'm here to advise on, setup and manage your hosting requirements in full, and ensure that your experience of hosting will be as painless as possible.
Site monitoring
Once your site is up and running you need to know that it is functioning well and delivering the services you expect to your clients, 24 hours a day. I can implement monitoring of your site, to a scale that suits you, and also ensure that should any problems arise they will be reacted to effectively.
Content Management
The ability to take control of the content of your site can make a significant difference to both your company's effectiveness and, in the long run, your budget.
With Drupal I can quickly build you a highly dynamic and scaleable website that you and your staff can manage, adapt and update easily with very little training and certainly no need to worry about code.
E-commerce
Doing business on the web is of course a primary objective for many our clients. I can organise all aspects of e-commerce delivery, from obtaining and installing SSL certificates to implementing e-commerce applications and integrating with payment gateways.
Search readiness and SEO
Ensuring your site will be properly indexed and ranked by search engines is vital to good web delivery. I start thinking about this from the very first meeting and plan, then code, with SEO in mind. In addition I can work with you on content and link building to drive traffic to your site in the best way possible.
Flexible Publishing
Increasingly important in the modern web, the ability to push the same content out across multiple spheres and in multiple formats can be key to the success of some projects. I'll work with you get the best out of your delivery in these areas.
