Freelance web designer/ developer & graphics professional — Colin Miller, London/ Essex

Applied power

For truly stunning results your website must go further and work harder.
A web site designed by Colin Miller backs beauty with power.

Graphic design

Creating the right look to capture and engage your visitors and build a strong brand image:

• Branding and logo design
• High-end graphic design and visualising

Create the right image with professional graphic design.

Beyond design

An effective website doesn't work in isolation — it must be reliably hosted, attract visitors and offer high quality content:

• Search Engine Optimization and PPC
• Copywriting, email marketing and newsletter services
• Web technology and security advice
• Website hosting, maintenance and domain name registration

Find out more about going beyond design for the complete package.

Web design

Providing your visitors with a rich user experience that's easy to use, readily accessible and highly functional:

• Design that's w3c compliant and accessible
• Web application development
• e-commerce solutions
• Database integration and Content Management Systems

There's more than meets the eye when it comes to effective web design.

My approach

High quality web design comes from creativity based on firm foundations — w3c standards, accessibility, site architecture… not from templates. From discovery and analysis to deployment — it's your needs, your target market, that drive the design process — my skills and experience providing the solution.

Web application development

Websites offering 'that little bit extra' turn visitors into customers.
You can give your website the edge with 100% unique, eye-catching, highly functional and user-friendly online applications:

• simple shopping carts to simplify ordering
• instant quote systems that don't make potential customers wait
• live customer service systems for faster responses
• polling and feedback systems for invaluable market research
• galleries to show off your images
• much, much more…

Functionality never looked so good! A site designed by Colin Miller design combines strong graphic skills with expertise in programming languages such as PHP, Coldfusion, Flash and Actionscript.

Database Integration and Content Management Systems

A website that's both beautiful and functional, what more can your website offer you?
Well we all know that beauty's more than skin-deep and much of an effective website is behind the scenes.

Content Management Systems

(CMS) makes it easy to keep your website up-to-date with the fresh content your visitors crave. Adding CMS to your website means you can edit or add content through a simple interface within your web browser — quickly, easily and at any time. It works off a secure, password protected database so your content is safe.

With a CMS you get control — you don't need a web professional to manage your content. But don't worry I can provide full training and instruction manuals if you need them.

If you need something more specialised then I also provide database development and porting of databases to the web, ensuring the transition from internal to online databases is straightforward.

ecommerce Solutions

Taking web application and database development further, I will design and implement a complete ecommerce solution to meet your specific needs. Streamlining the ordering process not only saves you money but makes it easy and comfortable for customers to browse, select and pay.

A bespoke ecommerce solution, like every aspect of a website, is most effective when it's designed specifically for you and your customers. Your solution will include security, a database driven inventory of products and stock, shopping carts, payment solutions and a rich buying experience for your customers.

How does this work?

During the design process we will discuss how to meet your needs and explore these options together — it's all part of my approach.
