Services
steve makes websites offers a great range of web services - everything you need from a digital agency. But if you don't see what you need here, it doesn't mean I can't do it; drop me a line and I'll sort you out!
psd to html
steve makes websites can convert designs you already have in Photoshop, PDF, or even MS Paint into fully functioning websites, written in high quality, standards compliant code, compatible with every browser. Have your current design agency or brand consultant create a design consistent with your print work, or design the site yourself to save cash. The .psd to .html service is also ideal for quickly turning a print brochure into a website.
case study: one client needed a website quickly for the launch of their new firm. Using only the pdf of their printed brochure, steve makes websites was able to create a site that perfectly fitted their branding, complete with Content Management System and customer login area, in a matter of days.
design & build
steve makes websites also offers a full design and build service - creating designs that strongly project your brand onto the web. I love using innovative design to create really unique sites that will stick in customers minds, while still making them intuitive, usable and accessible.
I can also build any design into a Content Management System, giving you the freedom to manage and update your site whenever you want to.
case study: tam makes bags needed a site to promote their personalised shopping bags, and they needed it on a budget. While keeping it simple, steve makes websites created a striking design, where the site itself appears stitched onto one of their trademark bags. An e-commerce system was custom made for this site.
development
If you've got an idea for the next big Web 2.0 application, or just a site that's a little more dynamic than most, steve makes websites can custom build software in a range of client and server side environments to meet your needs.
html / css / xml / php / javascript / mysql
case study: steve makes websites worked together with local artists to create Contemporary Jersey Artists, an arts portal and social networking site for artists working in Jersey. Users can create their own artist profile, upload images of their work and a CV, list upcoming exhibitions as well as writing their own blogs and chatting in the forum.
green hosting
steve makes websites provides a range of hosting options, from simple shared servers to secure hosting and dedicated servers. I can also host your databases and email accounts as well as managing domain registrations. Plus all our servers are located in a certified carbon neutral facility, so steve makes websites is the environmentally friendly choice for you internet needs.
drupal development, theming & hosting
Because most websites I create are built in the Drupal content management system, I've gotten to know it inside out. steve makes websites can develop custom modules or themes for your Drupal installation, or build and host a Drupal site from scratch. I also accept micro-payments for small jobs, when you just can't get something to work right.
case study: one client wanted to create a twitter mashup, a site that tracks users tweets and imports any images they post on their twitter feed. steve makes websites developed a suite of modules including a FeedAPI element mapper to search tweets for linked images, and several plugins for Embedded Media Field so that images from TwitPic, Mobypicture and YFrog can be embedded in a CCK field.
