Services

Everyone needs a website. Butcher, Baker, Candlestick maker, Ninja, Pirate or fantasist – it doesn’t matter: you need a web presence. But it’s no longer enough to just add an electronic version of your brochure or store to a website and expect it to work in the same way.

The world has changed – the internet is a different shape to the world we’re used to so you need to play a different game. You need a rounded web strategy that engages your visitors and grows your community. You need to give before you get but once you do, the limits are endless….

But there is a lot to think about and there are thousands of options so without some guidance, it’s easy to get distracted and explore blind alleys.

I can help you drill down and focus on what’s important for your business so that we can implement it right away. I’ll even provide you with a medium and long term strategic action plan so you can continually interact with your customers and grow your community.

I always use a holistic approach to create your web strategy to give you the simplest solution that’s laser targeted to what you want to achieve.

I can help you with any aspect of your online business and can

  • Develop a SEO strategy for maximum visibility in the search engines
  • Optimise your site design to engage your readers and encourage participation
  • Design and implement social marketing elements to turn your business into an active community who love you
  • Install an easy-to-use content management system and train you to make simple updates to your site without hiring a webmaster
  • Turn your customers into a viral sales force to grow your business automatically
  • Leverage your competitors so you can even make money from their sales

Why Silicon Shovel?

Unlike most other single-function services, our approach combines a holistic balance of design, usability, functionality, SEO, and marketing. You get a tailored solution that is timeless and easy to maintain.

I normally charge €250 / hr but since I’m drumming up new business and looking for case studies who can provide testimonials, I have a special introductory price and if you hire me for 4 hours, I’ll give you 2 hours for free.You can choose exactly how to use this time and you can even use it for ongoing support or follow-up support.

It’s amazing what can be achieved in a single day with a can-do, no-problem attitude.

I’m based in Galway, Ireland but if you are further afield, we can easily communicate online and work remotely. If you want to discuss the possibilies, just send me an email here.
