Websites
Website Design
I specialise in creating themes (skins) for open source applications like Wordpress, Gallery 2, CubeCart and Simple Machines Forum, but my skills can also be adapted to other LAMP applications. I also follow good Search Engine Optimisation techniques, which is why you will find me listed quite high under relevant search terms for this site.
Of course the old fashioned HTML sites are still an option so I can do them for you too, if needed.
Some of the sites I have done:
www.aneshdebiky.com (HTML, JavaScript, Coppermine Gallery)
www.fotogravett.com (Flash, HTML)
www.paulcandow.com (WordPress with custom theme)
www.mx2photography.com (HTML, Coppermine & Flash)
www.photographybyralph.com (HTML, Coppermine)
www.backpagesport.com (HTML, Flash, Coppermine)
www.uvirbloom.com (HTML, PHP Guestbook)
www.peterwrightphoto.com (WordPress with custom theme)
www.sacopywriter.com (WordPress with custom theme)
www.birdhaven.co.za (WordPress with custom theme)
My own sites:
www.nikonear.com (Simple Machines Forum, Gallery 2)
photo.graphers.info (Simple Machines Forum)
www.thephotojournals.com (exciting re-development coming soon!)
www.dallasdahms.net (ClientExec, CubeCart)
Fees:
@ your office consultation (2 hours): R1000
@ my office consultation (2 hours): R500
Installation & theme customisation for Coppermine, Gallery 2, WordPress or CubeCart: R5,000
Installation of application only (i.e. no theme customisation required): R300
Basic HTML pages: R500 per page
Hosting packages: R700 per year
New domain names: R100 each per year (.co.za/.com/.net/.org/.biz/.info)
Example: if you come to me looking for one of the above programs with a customised theme on a new domain name, you’ll pay: R5000 + R700 + R100 = R5,800.
Website Hosting
If you are looking for affordable, yet unencumbered hosting for your existing website, you can buy Linux based hosting from me for as little as R700 a year. Please note that my servers do not support websites that have been written in ASP.net or any Microsoft proprietary technology. This is a pure LAMP environment supporting XHTML, CSS, PHP and mySQL.
Hosting Package benefits:
- 1,000MB of storage space
- 5,000MB monthly bandwidth
- unlimited email accounts
- unlimited sub-domains
- FTP account
- 10 mySQL databases
- Fantastico script installer
One invoice, once a year.
Domain Names
If you do not have a domain name I can register one for you, in your own name and point it to your webspace on my servers. I can support the following top level domain names at R100 per year:
.co.za | .com | .net | .org | .info | .biz
You can check the availability of your domain name and pay for it together with an annual hosting package on my www.dallasdahms.net website.
Adwords Website Promotion Service
I am set up to run web campaigns for clients who are looking to promote their websites by means of Googles Adwords.
Services include: selection of keywords - writing of copy - animated web banner creative - site targeting - campaign management
Fees for these services are set on a percentage of the ad spend budget based on a sliding scale. Lower percentages for bigger budgets and vice versa.
