Craig McLaughlan Website Consultancy and SEO Spain
SEO, analysis and usability for commercial websites in English and Spanish.
Born and raised in Melbourne Australia, I moved to Barcelona, Spain in 1991, in time to catch the Olympic Games in '92. Since leaving university, I have started, grown, and sold several businesses. This gives me first hand knowledge of the issues that small and medium sized business owners face.
I left university where I was studying Architecture to start my own business, and went on to buy out our largest competitor and merge the two companies. Eleven years later I sold my share in the business to a partner.
I started my first website in 1999. When the web design company I'd contracted couldn't keep up with the demand of the dotcom boom, it was either wait, or complete the job myself. I jumped in and taught myself about building websites but once launched, it was a shock to find out that clients weren't beating a path to my door, so I set about learning everything I could about SEO.
I am an editor at ODP (dmoz.org) the largest human built directory in the world. This gives me a better insight into how directories work, as well as the opportunity to return something to the sector.
I've been able to create tens and tens of professional looking websites using the colours, fonts, and feeling from existing corporate logos. These days I don't do much hands-on design, but I can recommend a reliable designer and can consult with him/her on new projects.
I have ample experience working in HTML and PHP, and a dislike of commercial websites made entirely in Flash (which are nearly impossible to optimise).
Many of my permanent clients have websites that I created from scratch, and once launched, have retained me to further develop/optimise their sites.
I have listed a few of my clients under 'portfolio' on my website. I have no arrangement to provide a reference to potential clients, yet I'm confident that any of them would be happy to answer your questions as to my professionalism and results obtained.
I've created and optimised sites in English, Spanish, Catalan, German, Danish, Russian and French. I completed a Programa de Perfeccionamiento at IESE, one of Europe's best MBA schools, and apply my commercial understanding to developing my clients' businesses.
I can work with clients in other countries as well as down the road. I love the environment of the World Wide Web and get a thrill making websites work.
