anOddOne
The name "an odd one" came from sheer lack of imagination, actually, and perhaps a little because I also thought it sounded catchy at the time. But hey, I once thought that ’cpucrash.com’ would be a good domain name - turns out that the domain was blacklisted on email servers because someone thought it distributed things that would crash your CPU. Which is very entertaining to me.
Web design
In todays brave new world, being online isn't the same as being seen (as if it ever was). A website is not like a store where people go by and look through the windows and see
something they like. It's the words that make or break todays online businesses. Not only does your website have to look good, it has to appeal to the right people, be
visible in search engines, and be easily browsable.
These are the reasons I created anOddOne - because I believe that I design and code websites better than other people do and with more efficiently. Hey, you found this site, didn''t you?
No templates. Ever.
I have never, and will never, design a website using a template of any sort. All artwork and code is done from scratch every time. Unfortunately, not a lot of PR agencies, web bureaus etc claim that without being truthfu.l In fact, most web designers have a couple of templates that they always use. To me, that is to deliberately mislead the client.
Optimized code all the way
The first step in making your website search engine friendly is to optimize the code for search-engine crawling. Keeping content relevant, structured and the code to a minimal is a good recipé for taking the first step towards a profitable site. This happens to be my forté.
One guy + efficiency = high ROI
anOddOne is one guy. Me. I do all the work. I'm also very efficient. This ultimately gives a high ROI because you are only paying for one persons time. On rare occasion with bigger jobs I might outsource certain things to other people I have worked with in the past.
Low footprint design
By optimizing code, you automatically create as low a footprint as possible, but with heavy imagery and slow javascripts and whatever designers use to cut corners today, your site will be as slow as a site designed by an 8-year old.
