steven mccomb

I am a multimedia web developer based in Lisburn/Belfast. A graduate from the University of Ulster, Jordanstown with a First Class (Hons) in Information & Communication Technologies.

I am a creative and enthusastic developer who is constantly taking strides to perfect my work. I will be looking to bring an exciting mix of youthful creativity and knowledgable experience to my projects.

I have experience in many areas of web development including design, programming, maintenance and support. This stems from both academic and professional levels, particularly in the areas of VB and C#.Net development. (HTML, CSS and .NET is my thing!)

I have taken a keen interest in issues relating to accessibility and usability and will go to great lengths to ensure every web application adheres to strict W3C standards. Read more on accessibility.

To find out more details about myself and my experience, feel free to take a look at my Curriculum Vitae.

I always look forward to hearing about a great project I can help with so give me a shout when you’re ready to chat.

The basic steps to getting a website suited to your business needs can be summarised as:

1. To get started contact me today and we can arrange an introductory meeting where I will perform an analysis of your business requirements, listen to your ideas, discuss sites you like etc. I can then offer advice as to which solutions are best for you.
2. I provide you with a written, no obligation proposal for you to puruse at your leisure. This will outline the purpose of your website, the features you require, the optional extras you want and the cost.
3. Upon acceptance of the proposal, I begin the design stage. I believe in allowing you to choose the concepts you require rather than choosing from generic templates. You are then given the opportunity to view the design and provide feedback. Any amendments are then incorporated into the design and the process is repeated until the final design is agreed upon.
4. Once the design is approved, the development can begin. Here the website is coded and continously tested. During this stage, you can view the progress on my specialised demo site giving you the opportunity to provide useful feedback.
5. Before the website goes live, it will be passed to you for final user testing. The additional features such as domain name registration and SEO will be implemented at this stage.
6. Enjoy the benefits your new website will bring.
