If you have viewed my clients/portfolio, and read how I became a web designer and visited all the websites mentioned in either, you will see that many of the sites have sticky content eg:

• Bulletin Board
• Chat Room
• Radio Station (try the one on this site)
• Guestbook
• News Tickers
• Useful links to external websites
• Jokebooks
• Photo Galleries which are constantly updated with fresh images
• Quizzes and Minipolls

These items exist on the site to make people come back. Some examples of how the above items were used on the sites I have built, are as follows:

The Bulletin Board has been used extensively on the Church of Scotland Impact site. When team leaders have prayer requests, or need to ask the advice of experienced mission people, they post a query on the board, and normally within a few days, several people will have answered the query. This means that people not only visit the page to post queries, but they are on the site to answer queries also (a double catch!)

The Chat Room on the BaptistYouth site has been used by the youth as a place to arrange to meet up regularly and chat about anything and everything.

The Radio Station on this site, is used as an added extra, to enhance the visitor's browsing experience. If people like my radio station, they will encourage others to come to this website and try out the radio station also - increased traffic through word of mouth (also known as viral marketing).

Useful links to external sites - My JugglingWorld website has a useful links page. It contains links to the most popular juggling web pages I have found on the Internet. If a person visiting my site likes all of my external links, they might consider bookmarking my site, so that they can come back at a later date and visit the sites again. This will save them bookmarking all of the sites I link to.

Quizzes and Minipolls - are very useful tools if you want to find out the answer to a certain question from visitors to your website eg "have you purchased our product before"? They can also be used as a competition (win a prize), with the answer to the question found somewhere on the site (this will involve visitors hunting through your site for the answer - and in the process maybe finding out a lot about your company and deciding to make a purchase).

Most of the above items can be built into the web design contract. They can all be added to a site for little cost (if you do not mind third party advertising), or some cost, if you require the advertising to be removed or more advanced features. There are many more items you can add to the website which will keep people coming back for more...and more...and more!

Request's

I cannot possibly offer every web design service in the world, but I will continue to keep learning more about web design, so if there is a feature for a website you would like added, please contact me.

I no longer accept new work, but am happy to point you in the right direction for your web design needs!

Alongside the freelance web design work, I am a professional juggler, and I run an online juggling equipment and novelty items store. These 2 ventures are my main source of income which is why I no longer do website design for new clients! It would be great if you could check out the websites below!
