Web Design
Report
We all know that first impressions are everything and choosing the right graphics, colour schemes, fonts and layouts are vital if we are going to attract your target market. To do that, it's necessary to get right down to the nitty gritty of who you are and what you would like. Only then can a unique website design composition be produced for your review. We can't forget content strategy, the written elements of your website need to correspond with your brand vision and your goals. Content is often secondary for many people but the success of your site depends on a clear content strategy, I can't design without it.
Website Development
Report
The structure of your website build is vital for it’s success. Technical excellence matters and you can be sure that your site will be precisely coded with up to date and reliable technology. It will also be fully tested on a range of devices and be standards compliant. Sites are built with HTML5, CSS3, PHP and jQuery but you don't need to be blinded with geek speak. Suffice it to say that I use the most contemporary methods to ensure that your website is future proof. WordPress have some pretty strict theme guidelines and I stick to those, ensuring you don't have functionality issues in the future when WordPress does a major update.
Now more than ever a website needs to be an ongoing project. Things change so quickly that if the website is left alone and not touched for three years it can be past its sell-by date. A few ongoing tweaks and upgrades here and there keep the site current and also ensure that you don’t have to plan for a huge financial outlay the next time around.

Tracey worked with us on building our website. She has two incredible talents-she is an excellent designer and she is excellent at web technology. We greatly benefited from both of these talents. She has on-target solutions and a professional approach to site issues. We will be working with her again.

We would not hesitate to recommend Tracey Rickard of Tracey Rickard Web Design. We are absolutely delighted with the most recent website that she has created for us. Our old website was in need of an update and now we have a clean, contemporary, mobile responsive website based on the word press platform. Tracey has patiently guided us through the whole process and everything has been explained clearly, making it easy to now edit the site ourselves, which is exactly what we wanted.
We cannot thank Tracey enough for all of her input, guidance and patience, she has been BRILLIANT. Tracey's expertise, her friendly and professional approach and prompt response to all communication make her an absolute pleasure to work with. Thanks a million for all of your hard work Tracey! We have had lots of positive response to the new website. THANK YOU.

Tracey has just completed another wonderful website for us and we cannot recommend her highly enough. She is outstanding and we feel so lucky to have found her and to have worked with her over a number of years. Communication is easy and she resonds to any requests or questions so promptly that we are beginning to wonder if she ever sleeps!!!! She takes the customer's ideas and brings them magically to life using her design experience and exceptional creativity.Even after the website has been launched she is available for back up support if required.
We only recently launched our updated website and have already had lots of positive feed back. Thank you Tracey. You are amazing and deserve all the success and recognition that comes your way.

Tracey is an absolutely awesome website designer and developer. She did such an outstanding job on my site. I knew the user experience and look and feel I was after as well as the architecture of the website, but she was fabulous at reading into my vision and suggesting her own recommendations from her experience and expertise. I was totally new to Wordpress and the technical jargon.
She taught me lot of basic but incredibly things! And her Wordpress user guide enabled me to get started very smoothly.
Tracey was also was wonderfully organised to project manage within timelines and always revert to questions and feedback promptly, her turn around time is always exceptional. Even post live phase she is extremely responsive, and always revert within 24 hours maximum.
I am surely going to pursue the relationship through her monthly support service, and use her magic genius again should I ever wish to create another website … Not to mention that I will keep recommending her and spreading the word about how amazing she is. I only launched my website a week ago and had so much outstanding positive feedback on the look and feel and design, whether from friends or highly trusted and successful business contacts.

Tracey has done an incredible job on my site. Initially I approached several designers but what made Tracey really stand above all the others was her willingness to mix the ideas I had in with her own experience and expertise. She gave me advice on so many things, made several drafts of the site and her turn around time was exceptional. Still to this day she's very easy to contact and I've never had to wait more than 24 hours for a response. I really can't recommend her enough!
