Services
I make and design websites, online shops, digital products,
develop brands and provide web hosting.
What do I focus on?
Designers are responsible for some of the most achingly beautiful websites and user interfaces. Sadly though the user is often forgotten in this process. Confusing navigation or inaccessible content for the sake of pleasing the designer is an approach that’s doomed to failure. I design and build highly usable and accessible products that are intuitive, engaging and a pleasure to use without sacrificing innovation.
E-Commerce
Able to build a high performance online store for your business, including everything you need to sell your products online with custom designed shops to suit your business' and your clients' needs. With fully integrated shopping carts to ensure smooth transactions and search engine optimisation (SEO) to ensure that your ecommerce website gets a lot of traffic and sales, you don’t have to worry about the complex back-end techy details. Just focus on doing what you do best: running your retail business and selling your products online.
Website Development
My passion for website development from coding up to the design gives me great pride in providing a site that my clients are very happy with. Creating a custom website design on the platform that best suits the needs of your business allows maximum control over the features of the site and how they are displayed to the user. Something not only keen on the eye but functional and fully responsive from mobile to desktop is vital to success in the modern business internet era. I can design fresh modern logos for your new site or implement your original one without hassle.
Web Hosting & Maintenance
Your website can use a new or existing domain name, the set up and hosting of your website will be taken care of. Also I'm able to provide you with recommendations to reach your marketing goals, make simple text & image updates as well as add additional pages of content to help in your SEO efforts. This service is provided to all new and existing clients even if I didn’t develop your web site.
About Me
Dan Bond
A Passionate, creative website designer, developer & technologist.
I’m a freelance designer and developer from Essex and England but now based in sunny Rio de Janeiro. Previously, I worked in various banks and investment banks in and around London, before deciding to travel the world and take a new career path. I am also the creator of TheRioVibe.com, a Rails application launched to help inform tourists coming to the amazing city of Rio of all the wonderful things to see and do.
When I'm not working, I am an avid traveler. I have stepped foot on six continents, backpacked in Thailand, worked in the outback of Australia, eaten chickens feet in Hong Kong, hiked to the top of Machu Picchu in Peru, learned to surf in Indonesia (tried to!), been alone in Samoa, and climbed a glacier in New Zealand. I also love sports, being outside and all sorts of music. My wild travel adventures slowed down once I met my wife and moved to Brazil to live a somewhat quieter, but no less happy life.
I am experienced and well educated in all aspects of the web, particularly responsive website design & development. I create fresh and modern brands, great value websites, secure ecommerce online shops and simple & intuitive Content Management Systems.
