Website Design and Development
If You're Not On The Internet, You're Not In Business!
This has never been more true than it is today. If you are in business, you are expected to have an on-line presence. Consumers are demanding more information and they are getting that information from the Internet. Businesses are building relationships with consumers online now more than ever.
The Internet is now influencing consumer purchases more than Newspaper and TV combined, and two out of three shoppers specifically research local stores and services online before making a purchasing decision.
When choosing a web designer, it's important to know that you are in good hands. I work hard to earn, and keep, your trust. My personal attention to your site means that you can depend on your project running smoothly, on time, and within budget.
Database Design and Development
Database driven websites are more common now than ever. Databases provide the advantages of displaying dynamically updated content, central storage of your data, integration with a Content Management System and the use of the data anywhere in the website.
If you're planning a website that will contain more than a few pages, then a database is critical to its success. My team has an uncanny ability to surprise me when developing database driven web applications. I'm sure they will amaze you as well.
Content Management
A Content Management System (or CMS) will allow you to update sections of your website without having to have any technical knowledge of how a website works.
There are many off-the-shelf systems available, but the one that I offer is custom designed with your website in mind, so you won’t end up with a complicated system with a large learning curve, or one that has more bells and whistles than you could ever hope to use.
Best of all, it's practically foolproof. If you can fill out an on-line form, you can use our CMS.
Social Media Assistance
Twitter, Facebook, MySpace, YouTube, LinkedIn — the list is seemingly endless. It's no wonder business get confused about how to make social media work for them.
Add to that the fact that everyone and their dog is professing to be a Social Media expert, it's hard to know where to turn. I'm no guru — just a guy who knows a thing or two about it.
If you need a bit of help finding your direction, I'm here to help. Contact me for a free consultation. I'll bring the coffee.
Website Hosting
I'm pleased to announce that we are now offering web hosting services with very competitive pricing and great service offerings.
We've combined a secure and robust web server environment with top-notch customer support, so there's really no need to look anywhere else.
Until the scribbles on the back of my napkin make it to the website, contact me for further details about this great service.
Process Improvement
Many things work as well today as they did in the past — just like the good ol' mousetrap.
Other things could use a bit of improvement — like those manual spreadsheets that you've been keeping, or that cool rolodex.
If it's time to move your processes into the 21st century, I'm your guy. Well, actually, my ninja team of programmers will make all the magic happen. But I'm still your guy (they get free pizza).
Working with Mark on a website for my first business, after some disappointing experiences with a number of web designers in the past, was like a breath of fresh air. From the very first contact, he was totally focused on giving me the kind of website I was looking for, even though at times I wasn’t sure myself what I wanted. Not only am I thrilled with the final product, but the process was painless and enjoyable.
I really appreciated that he was always available to answer my questions and concerns, sometimes within a few minutes or hours. I hope that in my own business, I’ll be able to emulate his level of customer service and professionalism. I would wholeheartedly recommend Mark to anyone who is looking for a top-notch web designer.

Mark has re-designed my website, and he has done an amazing job. When I asked for changes, he intuitively knew just how to tweak things so they were just how I wanted them. I have worked with graphic designers in the past and it took them much longer to capture the essence of what I wanted (and some never did).
Mark is a hard worker and has good attention to detail. I am getting rave reviews about my site; it fits my personality to a "T", people find it easy to use, and I love it! I highly recommend Mark's services.

The look of our website has a much friendlier feel than our previous website, and it illustrates the caring and compassionate business that we are.
On top of that, our sales leads from our website have gone from 3% to 30% since you redesigned it.
Thanks for doing such a great job!

Amulet Consulting Ltd. had the pleasure of sub-contracting Mark Pridham in 2009 for intensive database and website design and development work on a significant pan-New Brunswick project. Mark performed extensive database re-design and upgrades and developed public and industry web-sites that provide access to relevant end-user information.
Without question, the quality of Mark’s technical work was exceptional and his commitment to project excellence, full client satisfaction, project team work, communication, problem solving and meeting project timelines was highly professional and exemplary.
I would absolutely recommend Mark without any hesitation.
