Images can make or break a website. In particular if your website has images that are not optimised for the web your page can take forever to load. I know that if a website takes more than 30 seconds to load I'm bailing out.... on less patient days I won't even last 20 seconds so fast page loading is essential. Image optimisation is one of the key elements to a fast loading website. It's a very simple but important way to enhance your website load time. Contact me to ask for a quote on image optimisation for your website.
Flash can be a fantastic tool to help bring life to content on the web.

Web Content Management System [What is CMS?]
Web content management systems allow clients the ability to update their own websites without knowing the ins and outs of web pages or needing to understand the backend code behind a website. CMS can sometimes be more trouble than they're worth with cross browser issues and limitations on design. However sometimes these issues are worth the end result if the client wishes to update their own website and doesn't have the web skills necessary to edit the pages outside of a CMS.
If you're after a large website you may want to implement a search facility to help users find information. This is an optional extra available if you're after a complete web development package. Please contact me if you're interested in a website that includes a search function.
