I
commissioned Kirsty Annandale of ICE
to design and upload a new website
for me. The professional manner in
which she handled the job was
impressive. I was especially happy
with the fact that she met the brief
with astounding accuracy. The usual
practice with Website Designers is
to redo the site many times before
it is satisfactory to the client.
Barring a few tying errors, which
were author’s corrections and not
Kirsty’s fault, the feel, concept
and layout of the website was spot
on!
She has an uncanny ability to pick
up on the energy of the client and
translate that into excellent and
functional design. I wholeheartedly
recommend Kirsty to anyone wishing
to have an award winning website."

Kirsty has designed and looked after
our website for years and always has
a practical and fresh approach to
develop a website that is quick and
easy to browse though yet showcases
our product professionally and
effectively.
We are constantly getting
compliments on our website. Thank
you Kirsty."

What makes a
good website
 |
ensure the website is consistent
throughout
(font, layout, colours, style
etc) |
|
|
|
use
a clean, simple navigation
structure (no more than 3 clicks
to display a page or image) |
|
|
|
|
design your sites with search
engines in mind (we are not SEO
experts, but will follow the
guidelines offered by search
engines) |
|
| |
|
|
|
|
|
optimise images and code as best
as possible
(no large images, use of CSS
etc) |
|
|
|
|
your design should reflect you
and appeal to your target
audience |

Tips for a good site –
content
• |
Goals
You should have no more than 2
goals for your website (eg, sell
a product or service, generate
leads, call you, download a free
report etc). The more things you
want your site to do the less
successful it will be at doing
any of them |
• |
Communicate
Clearly communicate who you are
and what you offer to your
visitor within the first 10
seconds. You have roughly 10
seconds to grab a visitors
attention and let them know you
have what they are looking for
before they look somewhere else. |
• |
Marketing
Have a plan for getting people
to your site (google adwords,
flyers, online banners etc) ...
Although I do not specialise in
this field I do have
relationships with other
companies who will be able to
assist in this area. |
• |
Search Engines
Design a site with the search
engines in mind (use of content
and keywords) |
|
|
 |
From excellent
and effective suggestions on online
banners to meeting difficult deadlines
(even when we change the requirements at
short notice), I.C.E. goes above and
beyond the call of duty. The friendly,
personal service and prompt
communication makes I.C.E. a pleasure to
work with. If your company is looking to
make their mark online, we highly
recommend I.C.E."

We’ve
used I.C.E. for web

e-newsletters for years.
Their innovative design
has my email box filling

more importantly, new

Thanks to Kirsty, my
ideas have come to life
in the form of my
website, and she gives
me lots of practical
ideas when it comes to
certain things I want to
change. It’s great to
have a web developer
with a heart and not
just a robot who does
whatever the client asks
for! Kirsty is
personable and hard
working, and I am very
glad I chose her to take
on my project."
