[Website Student] am student in uni and doing a project ,website for photography and a gallery page as all photographers have , the main reason am telling u is that i have to get web designer’s opinion about the idea’s which i got for doing a gallery pages. . if you dont mind is ok if i feel  free to show my ideas and ask about ur opinion.this is part of research  please > > > > please thank you for your help with the photography website

[Delicious Webdesign] Sure we have done a few photographers websites so you have chosen a good company to get an opinion from, feel free to send us details

[Website Student] thats good then thank you  soo much,  these are ideas which i came up with the idea that i got for gallery page:
first idea – I came up with was that images if the users click on any image it will sort of pop out and on the picture it will have desc of image e.g location and click on image to go next.
second idea – do a gallery in flash with thumbnails at button of  a large image at top and users can zoom in and out
third idea – is grid gallery with small size of images and if you click on one it will show the full size (full screen) of that image.
fourth idea – ones like where the image takes up the whole background and you click through a line of images changing the background image using images as navigation

I need your opinion.

[Delicious Webdesign]

Avoid flash (not compatible with non-flash enabled browsers and ipad iphone, not seo friendly, expensive to create and expensive to maintain / add to).

The gallery look depends on the style of the photographer / photography website but attention should be paid the the SEO and the potential for adding to or changing the gallery in the future.

Therefore options 1,2 or 4 would be fine:

Examples

[Delicious Webdesign] Sure what is your client ?

[Website Student] My client is a photographer , what else do u need to know? I need ur help with to find out my client requirements so i can do a specification please, or can you do this for me also?

[Delicious Webdesign] Ok give me your clients requirements for this website then I can help

[Delicious Webdesign] ok you have his very basic requirements, do you not feel as if you can deliver this to him? what are your doubts?

[Delicious Webdesign] It sounds like you have taken on a commercial project that you simply have no idea of how to deliver, was looking at photography websites that have been recently asking for website redesign / seo quotes and found the a few websites that we are currently tendering for, its a shame you cant help us with our workload as we need additional developers to build our photography websites to the standard that we have already build the other ones in our portfolio. (playing along now )

[Website Student] no its not that i think u have misunderstood me i have done project desgin brief with him and thank you vey much i know how to deliver project

[Delicious Webdesign] I believe you are not a student but work or own a website that is for photography (found out that the email address used is on a photography website !!)

[Trainee Website Developer] I am 21 and left university about 4 months ago now and will be talking to all the big Essex based website design companies over the  next month in the hope I can gain employment. I am a designer and developer (website programmer / coder)  that lives in Billericay in Essex and looking for a career in web design. I can currently code in:

HTML5/CSS/JAVASCRIPT & JQUERY/PHP and SQL.

I am also a designer and have had a passion for both coding and designing for nearly 4 years. This summer I was accepted into the designers community because of my work. If you would like to see any work just email me and I will attach some.

I am currently freelancing and have a customer base that consists of around 10 people, all are satisfied. I completed 2 weeks work experience last year in a web design firm in brentwood and they were pleased with my work.

[Website Designers] We get lots of requests for work as a mini test can you look through one of our own websites (below) or one on the portfolio pages and give us some recommendations to fix any problems you may find or improve the design or SEO of the site, once we see we what your ideas are perhaps we can take this further.

[Trainee Website Developer] I will look through your website and get back to you in a bit (the minitest.)
Not many of the websites i have actually worked on are live unfortunately. One of the sites I am working on is my portfolio at the moment that should be finished soon.

Here are some examples of my work. I decided to include them from my Essex Webdesigner account as I am still working on my portfolio at this point in time.
I hope that is okay
Website 1 is the design for that site at this point in time. I am just running over it and will start coding today.
Website 2 a frame of a UI I am working on for a webapp that a client has requested.
Website 3 is part of a UI set that I have just submitted to start sale (awaiting approval) on graphic river.
Website 4  was actually part of a webapp that I was developing as part of a personal project.
Website 5 is a coded version of the above mentioned webapp. The form is fully interactive with both client and server side validation in place.

We make sure that your website is not only acting as an ‘online brochure’ but is creating the maximum number of high quality, targeted sales leads that you can quickly turn into profitable customers.

We do this by developing your website into an active sales conversion tool, turning website visitors into customers through our proprietary ‘Convert on Arrival’ process. We can also work to deliver more traffic to your site and broaden your ‘sales funnel’ if required.

We would be delighted to discuss similar work we have carried out, and the consequent increases in our clients’ businesses. We would also be happy for my team to carry out an analysis of your website so that you can see the kind of improvements we would make, and the possible increases in your business.

We reiterate that because this is based on our proven approach to increasing business delivered through your website, our fees are on a ‘pay on results’ basis to demonstrate our commitment to your bottom line results.

[new website owner] thinking about starting a new business and as such would need your company to create us a website and promote it in Google.

[website design company] do you still need us to do you website, you mentioned it previously?

[new website owner] I’m not sure a website would help. I used to have a website for my parties and I didn’t get my business directly from it. All my business was recommendations. I like the name of the website you recommended.

[website design company] websites are long term things and possibly your website wasnt promoted / created correctly / optimised before, we are expert at doing that.

[new website owner] Thing is thoe with my goods I don’t post them I deliver to the client or they collect them. Its only small at the moment. I’m doing a craft fair in 2 weeks time to guage people’s expecations.

[new website owner] def looking into getting a website done soon. A friend has said they will do it for me but I want it done so it can be found up high on search thats what you do isnt it? I dont get it all really, seems very complicated.

[website design company] yes thats exactly what we do – anyone can create a website but you need it to be found in Google to thrive in the business world you are entering.

[new website owner] and how do you do that is it hard?

[website design company] yeah of course its hard but we have ways to make you a success. For an example of our previous good seo work, in google search for ‘essex builders’ and we have three clients in the top ten – thats a real competitive term.

[new website owner] Ok so if I provided all writing and photos how much we looking at?

[website design company] We need to know lots of things before giving you a cost – I could say it cost £x but that would be silly – you need to tell me exactly what you want and I can tell you the cost – things we need to know include:

How many pages on your website / do you have company colours / do you have a logo? / what menu sections do you want? / what sites do like? / do you you want to use then as a ‘guide’ for the design of your site? / do you want to update the text yourself / do you want a news section (blog) ? / do you want us to promote it actively for 1 week, 1 month or more perhaps 3 months? / how many photos will you provide? / have you any images can you provide? / how many galleries do you want? etc etc…….
We have a normal process (website project design) questionnaire for this or you can just come for a meeting.

[new website owner] going ask my sister if she can do some wording for me and put a rough draft of how id like it to look. so do you think £425 would get me a basic sight like what i showed you?

[website design company] yes – dont worry this is all ‘simple and easy’ for us but its really important you get what you want and also its created to earn you money by being ‘search friendly’ – also if you have a strict budget then can build you something that fits exactly to that budget (obviously you get a facebook friend discount).

[new website owner] Oh god its confusing isn’t it lol. I don’t no really what I want I shall look at other peoples to get an idea I think

[website design company] yes its a good idea to find sites you like the look of.

[new website owner] ok well will have to be in a couple of months as have no money left but defo want one as think it could help. may be something not to involved. simple but gets the point across

[website design company] can easily start now with a small site:
4 pages with one contact page / one gallery / one about us / home page and one services page with potential to create more pages / more galleries / add a blog at a later date

You will get the webstie name (domain) / hosting / email / site design / logo creation / 6 pages with you supplying all text and photos included in the website cost. We have a developer becoming free next Wednesday that I could put on this. Your new website will be SEO friendly / W3C compliant and would be much better / nicer / easier to use that the guide site you showed us earlier.

[new website owner] I am starting to see why I was recommended to me, after speaking to you on the phone you really have make this should easy and have put my mind at rest about your ability to make me something that looks and works great and will earn us a living eventually.

[website design company] yes but for you there would be lots of SEO love thrown in, if you didnt know seo = search engine optimisation = make it rank highly as quick as possible, as I said previously its great that you can provide some good webcopy, the more unique content you can provide the better

[new website owner] well my sis is good at that but she has been really busy with work. im terrible so would need her. my sis got the brains lol. yeah will roughly draw somthing up. Do you think it would get me business. Iv looked into doing wedding fairs and tables are £300 I can advertise in mags i no, would this SEO do you have to keep this up then.

[website design company] you can advertise online in directories / review sites / forums etc for free. We can also set you up with a free £50 google advertising voucher if you start a Google PPC campaign, your site would be built with good SEO (SEO love) and will give you some tips to help yourself if you dont want to pay us for any more SEO work.

To give you some idea about other clients and how much work some businesses put into their standard business brochure websites and their website marketing – Some website owners / clients spend over £5,000 on a website and then £1000 per month on SEO and PPC advertising

[new website owner] That’s a lot of money, how much if wanted you to keep doing what you do to keep near the top. is it monthly?

[website design company] can work to your budget – if you pay £100 per month you will get £100 of work (actually you would get more ) You really need to sort your designs / ideas out then come and meet me at the office here to let me show you whats possible. You will be impressed with our previous successes.

[new website owner] £100! id need to be selling a lot of trees! lol i dont really get it tbh. basically if i got you to do a website then if I didnt get you to keep doing what you do you wouldnt see my website in search is that what your saying?

[website design company] not at all, the more you put into it the better its ‘starting position’ in the google rankings and its ‘visitor numbers’ will be but there is always room to improve – you cant create a new site and expect business to flood in without lots of work and effortif your budget is limited I would recommend you following my list of website promotion activities to make it work, dont forget you get business not only from Google but from review sites / directories / facebook / twitter etc

[new website owner] yeah i know that I wont get loads of business just like that just want to know whether once site is done how much per month is needed to put in as its all about the money and whether its worth me doing it or not. My previous website didnt do anything. I got all my work through advertising in mags and people who had my parties would tell people.

[website design company] only a few clients with big budgets pay us to do SEO work on a monthly basis – you can do some of the SEO work yourself but the site will be ‘polished’ and ready for action and good rankings straight after its launched.

[new website owner] ah ok that sounds ok. is it hard doing it yourself thoe asa i dont have a clue.

[website design company] I would say even the smallest site enhances your normal advertising – much better to look at someones previous work on a website and makes you seem genuine and a ‘real’ business

[new website owner] yes true. everyone at the craft fair asked whether i had a website. I need a website obviously. One last question can i be called sweetcreations as think someone else already called it as my bussiness cards have will have sweet creations on

Website Designers – We’re getting there. Not something that you can just produce quickly from a visual as there are so many web browsers out there you have to make sure the site works in all of them. We don’t want to launch a site that only works in Internet Explorer. And we know the money is there when its launched so its not as if we are not working on it as hard as we can. There is no design left to do, it is all the development now. We are allowing you to edit every section with ease so wont be an overnight job. Was a bit busy last week so should be able to make a giant step this week as I haven’t got as much on.

Essex Website Design Client – Excellent, I realise that there is a lot more to web design than i probably realise, do you think you could let me know an ETA? I have only seen one picture of the website design so far and  i must say i was very impressed. Thinking about the photo gallery I have attached some more pics that i took of some of my recent work, may be a bit better than some of the current pics you have. [Delicious Webdesign - we try not to start a project until all webcopy and photos are received from the client as it duplicates a lot of work if photos are received throughout the project development]

I am an Internet professional who is creatively minded and has the ability to resolve problems and issues quickly and effectively.  I have 2 years’ experience working with content management systems, and eCommerce. Am expert with HTML and CSS and my experience includes coding Photoshop designs, sites for small business. I keep up to date with the current trends in SEO and WC3 web standards.  I am now seeking a new role where I can use my expertise and knowledge to produce and maintain valid websites.

 I would like to apply for any web designer/developer vacancies you currently have and think my experience with content management systems and Adobe software will make me an enthusiastic and knowledgeable member of your team.  In my previous role at an Essex Web Solutions company I implemented forum designs for charities and maintained these sites. Also in the same role I designed e-commerce stores for their clients. These ranged from builders, plumbers, pet care products to fashion and health food stores. Other web design work includes bespoke template designs for WordPress, designed in Photoshop, and affiliate marketing. At work I ensure that all of my duties have been carried out to an efficient and high standard.  I am able to work well under pressure, within in team or on my own, and to tight deadlines and have been complimented on the ease with which I complete tasks in a calm manner.

 Please give me a call if you have any questions or would like to meet me in person. I am available to come down to see you in person at Delicious Webdesign in Essex and am also willing to complete a work trial in order to show you my suitability for this role.

Previous roles have included these responsibilities:

Have been the head web designer and website author. Work included forums, small business and local trade. Working in a team of three people I designed websites and implemated new approaches to design work.

Created dynamic and static web site design. My portfolio includes small business and entertainment clients. My previous work includes static html websites. Recently I have produced a site dedicated to affiliate advertising. The client will earn commission from each product purchased by customers who follow the links on the website.  

If you think you have what it takes to be a ‘complete’ website designer then please forward us your information in a similar manner to that above. You could then be making websites for our Billericay clients.

We had chance to get the admin details from  your previous website designers in Billericay and spent time investigating your site. Looked at the website code and setup including your WordPress Blog and its setup.

I believe we can improve the site and can increase the sites visibility in the search engines which will improve your site inquries and as such your business. If you are interested in promoting your website, we would be happy to take on that project.  We talked about your website and how we can promote it in the search engines for you, I also mentioned that the site could do with some updates including new text, images and we will need new content (webcopy / text) to ensure your site gets more visibility and listed in all the search engines and ranked accordingly.

There is plenty to do on it to improve your sites ‘search friendliness’. Its search positioning currently does not represent the quality of the site and as such would think big gains in your visitor numbers and search positions could be made.

During the seo project we will identify 10 target search terms and agree them with you before we optimise the site

Please find below the proposal we have put together for the development and integration of a custom CMS for your website. We hope that we have covered every aspect of what you require from the site and if we have missed anything
