Kev Woodward
France
I set up the business in 2002 and chose to operate as a sole trader, using the name of the local landmark (The Chevin) as the basis of the name. After 30 years living on the doorstep of the Peak District and after several years of preparation and saving, myself, my wife and our 3 cats moved to France in 2009, from where I continue to run the business as before.
I do not outsource work at all, whether it be to the cheap Indian, Eastern European etc web design and search engine 'experts', your web site or search engine optimisation will be entirely carried out by myself. The same philosophy goes for the web hosting I offer. Unlike the huge, oversold budget web hosts like iPage, Justhost, etc, I use eco-friendly UK based hosting that offers true support from someone who can actually help, not just an outsourced worker who submits support tickets on your behalf.
My strengths lie in the coding of a web site, I use clean coding that complies with current web standards and that is search engine friendly. A number of the niche sites that I have produced have hit the top of Google on the strength of the coding and content alone, for example, search Google for Complementary Health Derby to find the web site of Jo Hale, who practices Qi-Gong and offers various other complementary health treatments and homeopathy in Derby.
