Circlewebs provides a wide variety of services which support the activities of a website implementation. These include: graphic design, authoring of page (textual and visual) content, and in some cases photography, all of which are carried out to support the design process.

Website definition

For a design to be successful the goals of a website will need to be established. These goals will generally be geared around advancing a client's business objectives. Once I have a clients ideas (and these goals) in focus then I can to begin to create a conceptual site map, wireframe models of possible page structure and also mock-ups of your chosen site design (please see below).

Website design

After discussing requirements and goals for a new site with a client I will then carry out preliminary definition of the site structure using Information Architecture and data modelling techniques. From these early studies I will then create site mock-ups using both freehand sketches and PC based artwork. At this stage, in conjunction with page layout considerations I address the various sub-tasks of: choosing typefaces, developing a logo (should you need one), developing a means to navigate the site, and in fact defining all on-page elements of the design.

Website development.

The page mock-ups defined in the above stage provide a means of visualizing some possible site solutions. After viewing and assessing these the client may then choose one of the ideas for further refinement. At this point I would normally build a working version of the selected page(s).
These pages may then be browsed and examined online. If the results of such a trial viewing are favourable I will then further refine the pages until such time as you request for the site to go live.

Search Engine Optimisation.

At all stages of the design SEO techniques are used to keep the page format consistent with the needs web crawlers and robots. Your pages will be singled out as unique and as containing useful content to the visitor.

Site Re-Design and Re-Host.

For clients who need a site reworked so as to improve the content, layout and load times, I can carry this out for you based on your future website requirements.
