Welcome to my website My name is Tyler and I'm a freelance web designer
I build affordable websites for small to medium businesses, everything that I build is customised for your needs
I’ve been a freelance web designer for quite a few years now and in that time I’ve built many websites for a number of local businesses. My focus is on providing strong value to my clients by delivering a polished product while charging reasonable and affordable prices for my services.
I’m based in Aveley, working out of my home office, but I’m always happy to travel to anywhere in Perth to meet with you.
The aspects that I focus on
The keys to a successful website
Every website that I make is designed specifically for that client, and the design process is a little different every time. I find that every client likes to have a different amount of input, some prefer to give me a strong concept and guidelines of what they want, some prefer to let me build a design entirely of my own imagination. Some clients just want to give me a few examples of websites that they like and I can design something around that.
When building with me, you can decide exactly how much input you want in the design process. Every design is built for you, if there’s anything that you don’t like just let me know and I’ll change it.
I won’t get into to much detail about the technical details of SEO here, but there are many factors that influence your rankings in search engines. A few key factors are directly related to your website. Things like the content and structure of your website are crucial in ensuring that your website performs well on various search engines.
Most websites that I develop are built on the WordPress platform which is already quite well set up to optimise for structure. In addition to this I install a plugin that helps further optimise the website. Lastly, I will always ensure that we’ve got the right content to deliver a strong result for SEO.
I don’t think that it comes as a surprise to anyone that mobile phones are a significant way for people to access the internet and view websites. As a result it’s important for websites to perform well on mobile devices and to display their content in an effective manner.
This is something that I keep in mind when I build websites, each website is designed to restructure itself to suit any given device that the user is viewing the website on.
Well written content is the foundation upon which every great website is built. The written content plays a major role in SEO as well as lending your website credibility in the eyes of your users.
Too often have I had clients tell me that the written content didn’t matter because “no-one ever reads it anyway”. This is unfortunately not the case. Most users might not necessarily read your content in depth but they will skim your content looking for red flags. We live in a somewhat cynical society where rather than look for reasons to use your service, most users will determine your trustworthiness by searching for reasons to doubt you.
The aim of the game here is to make sure that we don’t give your potential customers a reason to doubt you and your business.

The web design process
These are the steps that I'll go through with you to develop your website
01.
Initial Consultation
The project begins with us having a meeting where we can discuss what you’re looking for and how I can help. We get to discuss design ideas and structure concepts.
At this stage most of the discussion is typically a Q&A session, you can ask me questions about anything.
02.
Work Stage
If you choose to engage my services in the initial consultation, I’ll begin work on your website.
This is where the bulk of the work is completed. The design is created, the structure is set and the content is developed.
03.
Draft Presentation
We have another meeting where I’ll walk you through the draft of the website and we can discuss the design choices that I’ve made.
This is where you’ll get the opportunity to let me know what you enjoy about the website and what you would like to change.
04.
Final Presentation
After I’ve collected the notes from the draft presentation, I’ll action any changes that you’ve requested. I’ll connect up the last components such as contact forms and security systems.
Afterwards we’ll have our final meeting where you’ll get to sign off on the final product.
What you get

You will own the rights to all of the work once the project is complete.
Google Registration
I will help you setup your "Google My Business" account, which will display your business on Google.

Every website is built ready for Google Analytics and if you don't have an account, I can set one up for you.
Frequently asked questions
It varies depending on several factors, but generally speaking you’re looking at 4 weeks.
A domain is the name of any given website that you type into the address bar at the top of your browser. In order for you to show your website at any given domain, you will need to rent the domain name. You can rent a domain name from Swan Hosting, or any other domain provider.
No, obviously it is beneficial to me if you use my hosting service but you can host on alternative hosting services. Feel free to have a chat with me about any questions that you might have about hosting.
Yes. The difference might not be as pronounced for smaller websites as they might not get enough traffic to slow down the server, but if you are expecting a decent amount of users, I would recommend using a better server.
For someone to use your website, it has to be stored somewhere on a system that can give users access to the website. This requires specialised hardware and software, this costs money and that’s what you pay for.
Most of the time it is, it depends on a few factors related to the hosting server. Most web servers are relatively similar to each other making the task quite simple, but occasionally I come across a server that has outdated software or a radically different configuration. I can always have a look and give you an assessment of how difficult I think it will be.
Doing SEO properly requires a lot of time and effort, and personally I find the work quite monotonous. I’d rather focus my attention on the work that I enjoy and I’m good at.
That’s perfectly alright, I’ll work with you to come up with a design that you think fits your business even if we must re-do it a few times.
If this is something that you would like to do, let me know during the planning stages and I’ll work with you to create an easy to use template for you to upload your content.
No, I work hard to ensure that I am very upfront about any costs that you will incur. If for any reason the scope of the project increases, I will alert you to any resulting price changes so that you will get the opportunity to sign off on the changes.
Maybe, you are more than welcome to give it a try, if you make any mistakes I can always revert your changes. Most of the tools that I use are quite straight forward and if you’re a bit tech savvy you should be able to make some changes without issue. With that said however, it’s quite common for people to feel a little overwhelmed when they look at the tool set.
You will need to signup with a payment processing platform, payments will be handled by the platform that you select. I typically recommend using Stripe, their cost is low and the system is easy to use.
I will work with you to create a postage calculator algorithm, then I’ll integrate this into your website so that it will automatically calculate and charge for postage.
I’m both a designer and a developer, most modern web designers/developers actually do both jobs. So the designer’s job is to create the user interface and create the look and feel of the website, while the developer’s job is to build the code that makes the website work and handles the functionality. Typically only large website design firms can afford to have these jobs handled by specialists.
Testimonials
What my current clients have to say about me
We really didn’t expect the website to work so well, we thought the old website was good, we didn’t know what we were missing.
