Graphic design

First impression is essential in any business…I am fully aware of the necessity of creating a distinctive image for you, regardless if this is company logo, commercial website or personal blog.
eAnka Design provides customized, professional visual design solutions for a broad range of web marketing materials. I create clean and bold artwork that is both unique and eye-catching. My graphic services include:

XHTML/CSS coding

Semantic, valid code with logical structure is a good foundation for any website, and a requirement of today’s marketing strategies. That’s why you need an experienced coder, who can provide cross-browser compatible and standard compliant code, working in all modern browsers and complying with accessibility guidelines.

PHP/MySQL scripting

The true power of Web 2.0 lays in its interactivity and dynamic management of website content. Server side scripting languages (like PHP) and use of databases (like MySQL) allow website owners to administer and grow their content, create and run blogs, forums, use membership systems, integrate third party tools, validate and process website forms, rotate ads on your website, handle online transactions, to name only few of features possible thanks to website scripting. Depending on your needs eAnka Design provides custom themes for common systems like Wordpress, Drupal, Joomla or create a dynamic website or web application from the scratch.

Wordpress services

Wordpress is an extremely popular and powerful open source blogging tool. Thanks to its incredible community of developers and users, there are numerous available themes and plugins that can turn it into really great content management system, web gallery or even online shop. I design beautiful, professional custom themes and offer a broad range of other services, like:

  • Installation and configuration
  • Updating and migration from other blogging platforms to WP
  • Themes and plugins installation and modification
  • Custom theme design – unique, professional skin for your WP driven website
  • Plugin creation
  • Complete custom solutions based on WordPress platform

Website maintenance

As a website owner you need someone to do necessary maintenance work. As a client of eAnka Design you will be granted with free maintenance service during one year after the launch of your website. Maintenance service includes updating the system, support, as well as dealing with unexpected issues. This service is available only as an add-on to web development projects.

Work flow & deliverables

Graphic services: after agreement I provide 2-3 initial concepts of the project (in case of web design it is usually a homepage). When client selects one of them as a base for future work, I do unlimited revisions, refining it, correcting, and adapting it to client needs. In case of website design, when the look of the homepage is approved by the client I design the rest of the pages. Finally, after approval of the work, client receives .psd files, layered and named, so they are easy to edit in future. If vector work is part of the commission I also provide .eps file of the artwork, and include necessary font files.

Coding services: After designing (or receiving) graphical layout I write xhtml/css templates for the website. I usually code table free, css-styled layouts (of course I use tables when displaying data that needs tabular display). I test the code for IE6, IE7, IE8, Mozilla Firefox 2 and 3, Opera and Safari, and optionally for other browsers, if requested. The code is validated with W3.org validators and tested for W3C accessibility guidelines (usually I provide accessibility level AA). This service also includes some java script additions, for example: google maps integration, thickbox or lightbox integration (simple scripts used to overlay single or multiple images on the current page) or animating website menus. Installation of the website on client’s server is free, included in coding service, as well as maintenance service during one year after installation.

What do I need to start?

Before I start the design I always do a research on the topic of the website and the market niche the website fits in, so I need as much input as the client can give Please prepare yourself to answer following questions:

  • What is your website/company name, what is your tagline (if you have one)?
  • Do you have a logo to be included in website design?
  • What is your intended audience, what is your target market?
  • List your competitor sites if possible.
  • What is your desired color scheme?
  • Do you already have a website (if so, what is the URL)
  • What will be the content of your website? Can you list navigation links?
  • What type of look do you want to achieve? List some addresses of sites that you like.

Payment options

I accept payments via Paypal, Moneybookers or wire transfer (of course I issue an invoice first). Please note, all prices posted on this site are net prices, and depending on your country of origin there will be VAT tax applied. I hope to enable escrow payments soon.
