What I can do for you
There is no easy answer to that question.
Best to just have a look and see what is on offer.
Web Design
Chimera Web Design can build you the perfect web site for your business, charity, personal page, whatever.
I use the latest design practices and technology (I are primarily a Windows .Net studio but I do open source too) and build sites
that meet (and fully validate against) W3C design standards. I can build sites using any of the main content
management systems if required (Drupal, Wordpress, Zoomla, etc).
Web Site Maintenence
Sites aren't static anymore. They grow, evolve and age. Chimera Web Design can take over the maintenence
of your current site, looking after all aspects of keeping the site modern and running successfully. Maybe you
just need someone who is familar with your site on call so urgent issues can be addressed, whatever type of
support relationship suits your needs Chimera Design will be able to help.
Free Website Reviews
Chimera Web Design also offers free comprehensive reviews of your current website. The review will inspect and analyse
all aspects of your web site, providing you with a detailed overview of criteria such as loading speed, SEO,
content, keyword usage, HTML/CSS validation, style, cross browser compatibility and more.
This report is completely free of obligation, use it as a guide to see what aspects of your site are working well,
what parts not so well.
Web Hosting
Knowing where to host your site is almost as important as building it properly in the first place.
Not only can I provide advice on the best option for hosting, I can also offer my own professional hosting
service for a competitive yearly rate. Just one less thing you have to worry about.
Domain Name Registration
If you don't have a domain name registered yet I can take of that too. If need be I can check out what names
are still available if you're trying to narrow down a list of possibles. By taking over these small tasks I hope
to make the design experience easier for you.
Search Engine Optimisation
As standard all sites designed by Chimera Web Design come with basic SEO built in. By that, I mean I build the pages on the site
to catch the attention of search engines with careful use of keywords, page titles, headings, etc. If you need
your site to improve in the search engine rankings I can help there too (within reason, unlike other SEO companies
I don't promise what I can't achieve). SEO is a long process and consistent, valued rankings take time to build up.
Shopping Carts and E-commerce
I have experience with the major online payment portals (PayPal, NoChex, etc) and can incorporate online
ordering into your website. You can opt to use the systems hosted by the payment portals or use a custom shopping
cart built for you (giving you more control over how the ordering process looks to your customers). If you are thinking of
selling products online shopping carts are something you will definitely need to consider.
3rd Party Integration
Seen a widget or tool you like on another website and want to include it on yours? No problem. From Google Maps
to rss feeds to games, if you want to add a tool/widget to an existing site I can do that for you.
Social Media
You've probably seen those little FaceBook and Twitter icons everywhere on the internet. Would you like something
like that on your site to link your social media together? If you use FaceBook, Twitter or something similar then linking
them altogether is the next step in building a complete online presence.
Content Management Systems
Content Management Systems (CMS) allow for the easy updating of the content of your website. Platforms like
Wordpress have allowed people with no design skills to manage their website content. Others, like Drupal, Zoomla,
Zencart, etc allow for e-commerce sites of much larger size. Whether you want to use a open source solution like these or
have a customised solution just for you, I can build your site with the CMS as part of it.
You might prefer a custom built CMS because they are designed specifically for your site and your needs, whereas the
packages mentioned above are meant as a one-solution-for-everyone alternative (which means they may need plugins or are just too
complex for what you need).
Database Design
Businesses collect information everyday. But how they store it and what they do with it after collection can make a big difference to
how a firm operates. Chimera Web Design can build databases that properly store that data and turn into information that has real
value.
DigiCat, the iPad app
The DigiCat app allows you to take your product catalogue to the next level. Unlimited products,
unlimited categories all displayed in hi-res detail via Apple's iPad. The DigiCat system includes
a web server component that gives you full control of how your products are displayed regardless of the
database system your website uses.
