About Me : Alan McCann - Multimedia & Print Designer

I've been working full time as a designer for over 2 years now, having created numerous websites in my spare time up until then. If I were to pick one thing that sets me out from the crowd it's my rather unique combination of design skills with marketing, editorial and communications experience.

This allows me not only to create websites, brochures, logos, flash animations etc, but also provide a full service which ensures that your concepts and ideas solidly reflect the purpose of your campaign and the brand of your company and/or product.

I offer the following services individually or combined:

full HTML website design : full Flash website design : website hosting : domain registration : design of e-mails, graphics, animations, logos or any print item : search engine optimisation : copy writing / editing : proofreading : critical analysis of current website/designs : printing : brand consultation : usability testing

To enquire about any of the above services or rates, please e-mail alan@alanmccann.co.uk.

I have an Upper Second Class degree in Communication & Mass Media, a broad-ranging course which covered television & film, advertising, pr, marketing, psychology and language.
