Chew Valley Web is a small business with a fresh approach to web services. Based in the Chew Valley, Somerset UK ,I help enterprises get the most from a small commerical website.

Promoting Businesses

I run CVW because I enjoy meeting new businesses and trying to understand how they tick in order to use my skills, both technical and promotional, to grow using the World Wide Web.

I have always been involved in small business, including my own, since leaving full time education. As a convert to the amazing powers of the internet for both the customer and business, I am always keen to pass on the things I have learned over the years.

Building Websites

Whilst I can be a bit of a techie, I found that my real interest in publishing on the web was centered around the art of creating websites that were as effective for the owner as possible. Creating a website requires a good deal of techincal knowledge . Hundreds of web developers have emerged from education, armed with all the latest programming skills. What is in shorter supply in web development is an understanding of you, the client, and what your business needs so that the finished website actually finds more customers, gets more business.

Taming Search Engines

During my time building web sites, I have gained experience in how to present your business to not only the human eye but, almost as importantly, the search engines. This means that all of the sites that Chew Valley Web produce are highly optimised to be search engine friendly, get better search rankings and recieve more traffic. The buzzword for this is Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) and at the moment there are any number of companies offering SEO services of mixed quality. Chew Valley Web can really help you get better search engine rankings with every level of service, even on a tight budget.

Real Service

Web designers usually advertise themselves with technical skills such as XHTML, Flash, PHP, CSS and other stuff that sound complex. Thats fine and I can do all of those things too…..
I believe that a lot of web design projects start from the wrong end. They are led by grahpic designers and database programmers who all want to use the latest tools to make their sites stand out in the web design world. They want to try out the latest fashion or technology without regard to the actual needs of the site. A technical whizz can usually find a convincing reason to make your business pay for that extra stuff.
I am more interested in you reaching more customers effectively.

Hosting websites

Chew Valley Web uses top quality web servers to host all our websites on and is able to provide hosting for customers existing sites. Our web hosting prices are very competitive and include a more personal service. I can help you transfer from your existing provider. I offer a domain name registration service or can migrate your existing domain to our servers.
