I've developed a range of motivational cards with your own photos on the back, and offer specialised laser engraved diaries and boxes.
My business slogan is "Your thoughts, Our creations" and this is particularly relevant in my website design business. The objective is to take the ideas a client has about depicting their business online, and creating the best possible visual image of that business in an efficient, attractive, authentic website. I showcase the very best you can be through the visual creations of websites.
I create websites and logos for individuals, and big & small companies. I write articles for printed publications. Sometimes I even help companies build their content, drive SEO, and create their entire website information architecture.
Over the last 18 years, I have developed a wide range of skills through working in and around the design of websites and corresponding graphics. These skills include the design of all the relevant graphics including logos where needed, as well as using CSS, HMTL, DHTML, PHP, and MySQL to design upmarket, fast loading and efficient websites. A good command of English and knowledge of writing content for websites in the form of interesting and informative short prose is also required.
A superior knowledge of Photoshop and its tools enables the creation of these logos for clients. I also completed creative writing courses as well as various design courses and have recently joined Shaw Academy where I’m learning new skills in design work, and various other programmes. These are all skills enabling me to constantly add to the range of products and services offered to clients.
I continuously up-skill myself in terms of staying up to date with the skills I need to complement the services I offer. This includes attending courses, or participating in online training on various aspects of design, the internet, web practices, and developing new products
I have a wide base of life experiences from which to draw expertise and knowledge for writing content for websites. My life has afforded me the opportunity of working in many different areas. From Air Traffic control in the South African Airforce, to co-ordinating the first Fundraising Conference in the Southern Hemisphere, to working at Liberty Life as a successful Financial consultant for 10 years.
