Background to Phil's website work and his approach

Phil first got involved in managing and developing a major regional information-sharing website in 1998. This provided a steep learning curve and he now specialises in building straight-forward information based websites that provide internet presence on web pages of contemporary design that are easy to navigate.

Phil's approach is to design attractive websites that are easy to maintain AND to provide basic training for new website owners for sites he has built so that they can maintain and further develop the site themselves.

This provides greater satisfaction and a sense of pride for the new owner and reduced running costs in the medium to long term. Phil is still available to provide additional on-going support should that be required by the client.

As a constant user of the internet, website developer and adviser with an interest in marketing and design, Phil has a real appreciation of the importance of web page design that engages with visitors and is effective in promoting information, goods and services.

Good 'Search Engine Optimisation' (SEO) is also key to a website's success and Phil has achieved spectacular success with websites he has built and managed himself, constantly achieving 1st place in the non-advertised results from tens of millions of Google search results for key words and phrases.

All sites built by Phil for clients are built to World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) website and CSS standards.


Phil is Managing Editor and/or webmaster for these websites:

Phil uses his long-standing interest in photography to supports his internet work. He takes portraits and still-life or landscape photographs to assist in creating the design for new websites and this can avoid the need to buy in such material from third parties.
