My name is Greg Merriman. I am a web developer, designer, consultant, fiance to Bethan and general all-round good guy. I am based in South Wales and available for freelance work.
I have experience of working with businesses, non-profit organisations and creative agencies. Building functional, good-looking, standards compliant websites. Why not find out more about me and what I can do? Or get in touch?
By utilising server-side technologies I can make your website distinctively dynamic - the end result being your brand standing apart from your competitors. Furthermore, connecting your website to a database or other data storage medium such as XML opens up a whole new realm of possibilities.
Your great design has been finalised - created by me or your graphic designer - I'll then begin to turn your design into a fully functioning website. My hand built code is structured and standards compliant - so you know your site will be future proof and accessible.
JavaScript based technologies can really add that final polish to your website or web application. The likes of Google and Dell implement jQuery, and you can too. I can help you strengthen your user experience and hook your users into accomplishing their goals because your website "just works" - and works well.
Updating your website is made possible through Content Management Systems. I can provide you with a Wordpress or Joomla! installation (or something else if you prefer) and make it fit with the rest of your brand - allowing anyone with basic computer skills to update your website.
Launching a quality website is the first step to getting noticed. Once launched you need to be found via Google and other top search engines. Your friend is Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) - the process of improving the volume or quality of traffic to your website from search engines. Don't pay a small fortune to the black hat guys - they're out to rob you blind. All my websites are built with SEO in mind so that your site will rank well.
Accessibility and usability are not mutually exclusive - together they form an inherent part of building quality websites and applications. Web Standards compliance is the principle step in ensuring your website is accessible and usable to all - the websites I build are accessible, user friendly, cross browser compatible and web standards compliant.
