Web Videos from just £99

Video used to be a nice addition to a website if you could afford it, but today adding video to your website is much more affordable. The benefits are great…

Video occupies the same physical space as a photo so it’s easy to replace.
No download time before it begins to play.
Video clips deliver more information in less time.
The visitor gets to know what you want them to know.

I create web videos suitable for playing back on websites & mobile devices. I can record the video or I can use yours.

Don’t worry about the quality – I will edit and select just the best bits. I will do all the necessary work and insert it into your website or hand it over to you. I can even host it or put it on YouTube for you? I don’t mind – It’s your choice!

Learning to create good design with Flash can be quite a steep learning curve and some designers are motivated to use it in every situation. I will take time to consider your objectives and advise you accordingly.

Designers & Developers: The Difference

Many people don’t know the difference between a web designer and a web developer but if you’re looking for somebody to create a website, you’ll need to know because finding somebody with the right mix of skills will save you a small fortune. If you’re searching for Torquay web designers, then I’ve been around longer than most.

A good web designer will communicate ideas effectively and might come from a graphic design background although animation and user experience design and understanding is also an essential requirement these days. Attention to detail can make small design elements which are original, beautiful, intuitive and fun can make a big difference in a crowded marketplace.

Web development is the back-end of the website. The engine-room so to speak… The bits that you, the client probably won’t even notice but without which, it will not function well.

A good web designer will…

Be concerned with how a site looks and how people interact.
Use principles of design to create a great site!
Create a site that customers want to use because it’s easy.

A good web developer will…

Be responsible for the programming and user interaction.
Focus on how a site works and how people get things done on it.
Have programming or scripting knowledge to keep a site running.
