AG Web Services Design PortfolioWhen I started designing websites in 1995 (on a 9.6 modem!) most website design clients had relatively little experience with the internet, and now I find most clients who need a website have spent a fair bit of time surfing the 'net and deciding what they like in a website and what they don't.Search engines have also developed considerably since 1995 (yes, there was a time before Google!) and keeping current on search engine developments has been one of the most interesting aspects of my work over the years. Recently I've found that most clients already have a website, and need to have it updated, modernized, refreshed and made more search engine friendly. Your website should help you streamline administrative processes, provide superior service to your clients, and properly represent the unique aspects of your business. Updating a website will give an opportunity to not only refresh the look and tone of the website, but an opportunity to make the site more accessible to search engines as well as more functional for website visitors. Some clients are active in the social media and want their website to interact with their facebook page or their twitter account. Look through some of my recent projects below for examples of a range of websites I've designed over the past few years. Some are relatively small and simple websites, and some have developed into larger sites with more extensive content.
