Keith J.

## BIO I am a specialist web design and developer with 15+ years experience, helping my clients to expand or enhance their online presence with an aim to giving them a competitive advantage. Design isn't Art. It's not about creating beautiful or thought-provoking things for the sake of it. Design is a discipline – creating communication with a purpose. Having a wide range of technical skills and project management experience I am able to advise on the best solution to your requirements as well as understanding the critical time and budget constraints. Also working in online and dedicated console media for clients such as Mattel, Hasbro, Lego and BBC. **<u>Thinking about a website? some general design notes:</u>** <u>Design a site for it's visitors.</u> Obvious? too many websites start development without understanding it's customer base, and go down hill from there. Identify who’s really going to visit your web site. Understand what’s necessary to get your message to those people and help them to take the next step <u>Design the content, not the box it comes in.</u> Not everything can be high-noticeability, they can only stand out relative to other elements that do not share the same properties. Some areas should take a back seat. It's unusual for everything on a page to have equal value. If you try to make everything stand out, nothing will stand out.
