A small-business website needs to bring together clear information, practical functionality and a presentation that reflects the business behind it.
I have helped create WordPress websites for a range of clients. The work combined website development, attention to usability and search engine optimisation with the practical experience of running a small business.
The challenge: connecting a business with its online audience
The work centred on creating websites that were user-friendly and search-focused. Rather than treating appearance and functionality as separate concerns, our approach brought them together in the finished site.
This experience gave me a direct perspective on delivering services to clients as an independent business, alongside my corporate IT career.
My contribution: website development and practical delivery
My contribution was to developing WordPress websites with close attention to layout, presentation and usability. Search engine optimisation also formed part of the work, helping connect website development with the objective of making clients’ businesses discoverable online.
The partnership gave me hands-on experience of client delivery as well as the responsibilities and lessons involved in running a business. It reinforced the importance of connecting technical decisions with the purpose of the website.
The outcome: websites delivered and experience carried forward
I delivered websites for clients and developed practical experience in WordPress, SEO and small-business operations.
