about good web design

your web site should .....

reflect who you are

A web site should reflect who you are and be most effective for your specific needs. A good designer should be able to put themselves in the shoes of each client to help determine the most effective colors, layout, mood, content, etc. to include on the website.

make a good impression

Just as you want to make a good impression with your physical appearance, your web site should make a good first impression on your clients. Many people make purchasing decisions based on their impressions of a businesses web site.

be user friendly

A web site that has all the bells and whistles can look great, but can also be confusing and time consuming to users, thus is a waste of money. User friendliness is a top priority at Redhawk!

about me - lee carter

After achieving the Certificate IV in Electronic Publishing in 1998 I worked for Gemcraft Books in Burwood where I performed many duties, one of which was graphic design preparing the monthly newsletter, advertising flyers and pricing catalogue.

2001 I moved into a slightly different role in accounts, but my creative skills were still utilised in designing sales brochures and IT skills in assisting in the modification on the Access database. Next was a move back into graphic design working for The Blue Dandenong Bulb Farm in 2003 producing their mail order catalogues and various print media. After two years and the internet becoming more predominant, I decided that I wanted to branch out with my skills and enter the world of the internet and multimedia

2005-6 saw me entering the world of study where I undertook a 2-year Diploma of IT (Multimedia Integration). Nearing the end of the Diploma, I worked for a chemical company in Preston as their graphic designer, and more recently employed with a medical products company in Ringwood as their Graphic & Web Designer.
