WEB DESIGN PORTFOLIO FOR Mansheb Web Marketing

PREAMBLE
We are a web design firm, trading under the name “Mansheb Web Marketing”, and specializing in
designing and developing websites, performing internet marketing consultancy services as well as offering
web based interactive services to individuals and corporate organisations.

PROGRAMMING LANGUAGES
HTML: We are well vested in HTML, and we are familiar with almost every tag that HTML has.

JAVASCRIPT: I know how to utilize Java Script’s capability to interact with the user, I have
used JavaScript together with PHP and HTML so as to come up with a powerful application.

CSS: I always use inline CSS to develop an eye-catching layout web page. I am very familiar with
all CSS techniques; such as internal and external link CSS.

PHP/MySQL: I have used PHP and MySQL to develop a real estate website, a car sales website, a
classifieds website, a penpals website, and also minor applications. I am experienced in database
manipulation with PHP and MySQL as well as writing to txt files with PHP.

SOFTWARES.
FIREWORKS: I use fireworks on most of my images and whenever I need to create buttons or
animated image gif images. I also use it to create simple graphics, edit and resize images.

DREAMWEAVER: This is not my first preference software when it comes to developing
websites. I usually use Notepad, since in an experienced web programmer. However, I have used
dreamweaver to change the layout of a page, change page colours, insert flash buttons, insert and
edit image properties, etc. I have also used it to validate HTML forms and to set up simple
JavaScript applications that dreamweaver is shipped with. I am also familiar with Microsoft’s
FrontPage, but I rarely use it since dreamweaver is far much better than it.

SELTECO FLASH DESIGNER: This is software that I use to design eye-catching flash
animations. The software is not as powerful as macromedia flash, but its handy when one wants to
design a perfect flash animation quickly.

SPECIALIZATION
Meta tags: Since some of the most popular search engines, such as www.hotbot.com and
www.exite.com are meta tag search engines, this made me more keen to research further about
meta tags, and enhancing a search engine friendly web pages.

Search Engine Optimisation: This is the technique to promote the ranking of a website on search
engines. I have used this technique, and it has seen my website being ranked in the top 10 on
google for keyword “African Business Directory”.

Internet Marketing Strategies: My website (www.mansheb.co.zw/directory.html) has seen more
than 600 websites being submitted from different parts of the world. This was mainly due to the
way I promoted my online business directory. My online penpals website
(www.mansheb.5gigs.com) has more than 200 subscribers, from different countries. This was also
due to the extensive knowledge I have upon Internet Marketing Strategies. I have designed more
than websites since I began designing websites, of which 3 of them are from UK, 1 from South
Africa and the rest from different places of Zimbabwe. I managed to get these clients; mainly
because of the extensive way I exercised Internet marketing to promote my web design services.

MAJOR PROJECTS RECENTLY TAKEN
