I create html/css app tabs for Facebook using Static HTML, the kind that require a “Like” to view limited access content and deals. Also interesting is RSS Graffiti that takes your blog posts and puts them on Facebook automatically. Facebook is a channel, reach 500 million people.
The bones underneath the skin that is the website design. it’s main focus is user behaviour and imagining how an interface might be used. I use Balsamiq to create “Wireframes” of every project; this is a vital part of the approval stage before design as it focuses purely on content and positioning.
Mobile Development. Through my connection with the Stylah Dev group I offer iphone app development. Check out our first free app World Press Photo Exhibition 2011.
Search Engine Marketing. It’s not complicated, it’s all about being honest about who your customer is and then going after them. Communicate to them through Google advertising (and sometimes Yahoo and Bing too!)
Search Engine Optimisation. This also is not complicated. It’s all about optimising a website so the back end information is consistent with the front end; then Google is happy. Happy Google makes for a happy website.
I focus mainly on wp-e commerce but for bigger shopping cart jobs I work with MediaCore as a working partner.
Dirt and Rust is all about usability. Usability is the ease of use and learnability of a human-made object (wikipedia). Increase perceived efficiency of a website or web application and its usefulness goes up, and hopefully, its profit.
See this website? I designed it. I design other websites too, check out the Portfolio and Latest Work below for more sites.
I develop websites in WordPress which is a Content Management System. What this means is you’re in full control of your website once I finish developing it. You can add content, add and remove pages, and more.
Hi, I’m Nathaniel Flick and I’m the Managing Director of Dirt and Rust, which I started in 2003. Dirt and Rust is all about usability. I’m a web developer/designer who started out in print design back in 1995 when Photoshop had no layers and one undo. Trying times! I moved into web in 2000 and started doing web exclusively in 2007 and never looked back, there’s just something about the semi-permanence and fluidity (and feedback) about the web that excites me to no end.
