About US

My name is Brian Stephens and I worked for many years in the oil and gas industry, specializing initially as a production engineer supporting the design and manufacture of directional drilling and surveying equipment.

I progressed in the industry to become a project leader, department manager and ultimately the technology manager once I had gained a 1st class honors degree in technology.

During this progression I was involved in the testing and evaluation of new product lines for their functionality in a severe operating environment including the testing of mechanical, electronic and software functionality.

My final position as technology manager meant that the department heads for mechanical engineering, electronic engineering and software development reported to me along with the project managers working on the new developments.

So why am I telling you all this, well it's primarily to let you know that I am well used to working in a technically challenging environment that requires attention to detail and the ability to work through technical problems.

Skills that I believe transfer very well to my chosen profession of website design and internet marketing.

Add to that my love for photography, especially of the digital variety, and my enjoyment in the production of aesthetically pleasing graphics using Photoshop Elements and I think you will agree that website design in combination with writing blogs for internet marketing purposes in support of my new business ventures is a good career choice. A web design service for Aude, Ariege and Haute Garonne is offered on a local basis, but it is more than possible to work at a distance, given the nature of web design, using email and telephone communication should you wish to work on a project together.

My website design work is done utilising the Dreamweaver 8 software package, which is an industry standard software for website development. I also publish websites via Squidoo and Hubpages and use Blogger or Wordpress to publish blogs in support of my own holiday business , website design business and internet marketing activities.

I have been designing websites for a number of years now and have used that time to perfect the art and also to research into SEO search engine optimization techniques. This is a critical aspect of website design if you want to gain customers through visibility of your business on the Internet, specifically by gaining a good position on the search engine results pages (SERP).

With respect to Internet marketing and SEO, you will find any SEO lessons I have learned along the way will be made available to you with completely free access. The most important of these lessons you can find already published on this Website Design Site or on the blogs I have written in support of the website design site.

For my internet marketing activities, I will be using this site to offer products and services through my affiliate relationships and will try my best to ensure that these products are great in terms of quality and offer real value for money.

You will find some of my other websites on the Portfolio page, French Holidays Aude which has a link on each page to my blog ‘Life in the France Lane’ may be of interest to those of you in the travel business and Curtains and Cushions is the website that I put together to support my wife's business working in interior design and soft furnishings also here in the South of France.

So that is it, please feel free ask questions or get in touch if you have a new project you would like to discuss for website development, would like help or assistance with any blogging activities or would just like a chat.
