We Build High-Performance Digital Experiences

ABOUT

My name is Nick Clarke and I'm a Manx freelance web designer based in the Isle of Man. I create professional and responsive websites that work across all screen sizes. I offer a wide range of services such as website redesign, responsive web design, hosting and maintenance services. I'm a one stop solution for all your website needs!

I dedicate myself fully to one project at a time so I'm able to provide a higher standard of customer service and achieve quicker results. My goal is to create a high-converting website for your business and make it a financial success.

I have a wide range of professional computing qualifications that includes a CIW Web Foundations Associate and BTEC HNC qualifications in Web Design and Systems Analysis and Design. I have been creating websites since 2012 and I use high quality code for my projects that have passed the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) validation tests - click on the banner at the bottom of the page for confirmation. It is rare to see these on other sites because many web designers use "already built" templates which would not pass these tests because they use unnecessary and outdated coding practices. It is of utmost importance to realise that better coding websites rank higher in Google and other search engines! I attain pleasure and satisfaction in knowing that my websites are the best quality, unique and "Tailor Made For You!"

WEB DESIGN

Responsive Websites

Responsive web design is essential in creating a positive experience for users. A great user friendly website can help you stand out from the crowd. It should be easy for users to find the information they are looking for and happy users are more likely to turn into leads, subscribers and paying customers.

"Websites that are hard to use, are not used."

Responsive websites load faster on both mobile and desktop devices. A responsive design puts users first, makes it easy for them to engage with your site, and shows Google that your site is built for any device.

Content is King

A good website must be able to capture a visitors attention to make them stay and want to come back. First impressions will make visitors stay and good content will make the same visitors return. Poorly designed websites are costing many companies a great deal of business.

Good Code

Designing a website using up-to-date coding is vital to the success of your website. Good well written code makes updating, expanding and managing a website easy and quick.

Bespoke Web Design

Bespoke or custom web design is about creating a website that will suit your particular needs and to create an engaging customer experience that will make your visitors want to interact with your site and become seriously impressed. You need a website that is professional and shows your visitors that their life would be better, happier and more complete if they took advantage of your services or owned your products. The Internet does not sleep - your worldwide business will be open 24/7. The benefits can be huge and easily outweigh the costs!

The cost of your website will depend on the size and complexity of the project. All websites will be submitted with the top ranking search engines for FREE!

WEB SERVICES

Domain Name

Every website requires a domain name and you should register it yourself. You should own the name rights to your website. Examples of top level servers that supply domain names are: .com, .org, .net, .co.uk, .co.im and they all vary in price.

The Importance of SEO

The majority of web traffic is driven by the major search engines such as Google, Bing and Yahoo. 90% of all web users use search engines to try and find the products and services they are looking for so getting your website listed as high as possible in the search rankings is vital to your site's success. Poor SEO optimised content will reduce your search rankings. If your website cannot be found on the search engines then you will miss out on the incredible business opportunities that are available.

Web Hosting

Web hosts are Internet companies that provide the web server space that is required to house websites. Web servers deliver web pages on the request to clients using the Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPS).

Web Hosting can be a huge resource drain that requires expertise and time. Time spent on the phone talking to an offshore outsourced help desk, server configuration errors, and poor response times are some of the unwelcome problems that you don't need. My solution is simply better - I manage your hosting for you so you don't have to!

My secure hosting fees are £24.95 monthly

Website Management

Websites need to be constantly updated and maintained and keeping your content fresh is of increasing importance if you want to attract new visitors and improve search rankings. It also gives existing visitors a reason to keep coming back to your site.

Changes happen and search engines are continually updated so creating an affordable and efficient way of keeping your website in perfect working order and helping to keep you ahead of your competitors is my aim.
