all about Charlie

How I can help you, and "What's in a name?"

First question: why Charlie?
Answer: it's my middle name

OK, how can you help me?
Answer: I can discuss your needs and/or problems with you personally. If I can't help you, I know lots of people so hopefully will be able to steer you towards someone who can.

Why are you better than XYZ Web Designers Pty Ltd?
Answer: I might not be. But put us both to the test... test some of their sites on the w3.org validator, and compare the results with sites I have done. Compare our charges. Do you communicate with one person with a name, or do you communicate with an autoresponder? Do they fix any mistakes they might make?

Can you do the graphics or just the code?
Answer: the code is what I do best. However, I do have a good quality flatbed and transparency scanner so I can scan photos, slides and negatives including large format. I have image editing and conversion software and also some image creation software. Macintosh computers are well known as excellent platforms for multimedia use.

To summarise, I can:

  • Produce a new website from scratch
  • Clean and improve an existing website
  • Introduce basic, secure ecommerce to a website
  • Introduce additional enhancements to a website
  • Improve promotion of a website
  • Create and/or modify some web graphics
  • Produce cross-platform PDF files for download
  • Produce downloadable Quicktime movies from video
