Iqbal's Web Design

Iqbal's Web Design is the portfolio of a freelance front end web designer working from Sheffield, Yorkshire. The designer describes the work as covering web development, content management systems, search engine optimisation and ecommerce, and presents the business as a single point of contact for a client's website from first brief to finished site.

A one to one freelance service

Because the business is run by one person, the work is handled directly by the designer from start to finish. The site describes a close working relationship with each client, with the stated goal of helping the business grow. Ongoing technical support and training are described as part of the service, along with maintenance and updates after launch.

Bespoke sites and content management systems

The designer builds both bespoke sites, where the functionality is written around the client's needs, and sites run on a content management system, which lets the client update their own pages. The site describes the designer's skills as covering the latest web design technologies, and names HTML5 and CSS3 as the languages used to code the front end. The aim, in the designer's words, is a creative approach that meets the business objective through modern practice, with designs that are both search friendly and easy for users to read.

Responsive design for every screen

Each site is designed to adapt to different devices, browsers, screen sizes, resolutions and orientations. The designer argues that a site not optimised for small screens is not properly mobile friendly, and that it risks losing visitors and, in turn, business. The site presents the unique design of each project as a deliberate part of the service rather than a standard template.

Search visibility and ecommerce

The designer also takes on search engine optimisation, which the site describes as a way to raise a site's ranking for chosen keyword phrases on Google, Yahoo and Bing. Online shops are included among the services, so a business can add an ecommerce section to its website. The site says the designer has a track record of making sites more visible and increasing the traffic they receive.
