Ken France | Website Designer

Ken France, website designer.

What do I do?

After 26 years of Web design

I STILL BUILD WEBSITES

Over 400 websites built by just me, by myself. It must mean I’m really interested in websites and how to build them so that they work for clients.

PROFESSIONAL

I STILL ENJOY IT

There is a lot of satisfaction in creating websites. Starting from a blank screen and ending up with something that almost has a life of it’s own.

CRAFTSMAN

AND I GET PAID FOR IT

It’s nice to be paid for doing something you enjoy! Work is hardly work at all and each day I can look forward to helping people and learning something new.

my job

one: I build websites

Website designer

one

For 25 years I've built websites, since before Google, since before the dot-com bubble burst. Since before most of today's World Wide Web existed. So I have a pretty good idea of what works and what doesn't.

two: so you don’t have to

Web Design is an art and a science.

two

Most people requiring a website will need someone to sort it all out for them. There be monsters and all manner of dark and alien rules which must be obeyed. All manner of rare talents are needed. Give me a call.

Why?

to sum up

I design websites, build, host and look after them. I take care of everything, domain name renewals, e-mail addresses, updates and additions. I do everything you’ll ever need, with careful attention to detail and I do it quickly. And all of this for very realistic prices, as my overheads are low and, in any case, I enjoy it! 

Get in touch for more information and to chat about how best I can help you with your website, new or old.

Take care, Ken

Kea complaining. Possibly, who knows...

I'm not a Kia. I'm a Kea!

Getting the name right is important. Mine you probably know by now and you’ll know I’m a website designer. That job description is just one of many names for what I do. Website designer or website developer, website creator or digital agency and many more names. In my case I could probably call myself a “full-stack web developer”.

Full-stack developers are experienced in both the front-end (what the website user sees and interacts with) and the back-end (the technology you don’t see but which actually makes websites work) so hence, the full-stack of technology that makes up a website. 

To get to this broad range of knowledge, full-stack web developers need to spend many years working with all aspects of website development. So they are well-versed in how business’s work, why websites are a very important part of any business and instinctively know how to tie everything together. That’s why I consider myself to be a full-stack web developer and qualified to guide and help clients make wise decisions.

Down the Coast a bit from here. Well worth a visit.

Where are we?

Not exactly where this photo might indicate, but not far away. Actually we are in a small seaside settlement called Carters Beach. An idyllic spot close to the town of Westport on the West Coast of the South Island of New Zealand. From here I run my website design business Webdesign Matters. This is a start-again business, my original company Webfactor Ltd was sold in 2019. However, selling it was a mistake in many more ways than one. I’ve since decided that my skills should continue to be used  and to develop and so I’m building websites again, after a hiatus of two years.

I welcome inquiries from prospective new clients, whether locally, nationally or internationally. Our location does not matter at all to our service. We have good, fast, broadband and high speed servers to host our client’s websites. I can confidently offer the same levels of support as before, maybe even better than we are known for, and I’m sure I can really help you with your website project. Give me a call, anytime – I’ll be glad to help!

Not a West Coast beach scene. But it could be

Life as a website designer

For nearly 25 years I’ve been a website designer. For 40 years I’ve worked with computers, firstly as a hobby in the very early 1980s, as a retailer of computers, as a programmer in the ’90s and since 1997 as a website designer. In computer technology terms, that’s a very long time indeed!

I use computers for education, communication and entertainment. But mostly I use computers to create websites and I’ve built just under 400 websites. Being a web developer has led me down many paths. I’ve met hundreds of wonderful people and made hundreds of friends, otherwise known as clients. It’s provided me with an income, a lifestyle out of the ordinary and it continues to do so. Please get in touch if you’d like me to help you in any way.
