About Mekonta & John Cowen
Mekonta is a web design company in Exeter, Devon, run by John Cowen. I am passionate about web design and work hard to deliver robust and elegant websites tailored to your requirements.
My background is in the distinctly non-digital area of Fine Art and I spent 7 years studying and working as a painter and printmaker. Over time this evolved into digital art and my attentions shifted to building websites. This background means I have a strong focus on the look and feel of a website and awareness of how users will interact with it.
It is all very well to design a website that looks stunning when it's first launched, but a challenge for that site to still look stunning when content has been added and edited over many months by different users across your organisation.
A Short CV
- Between 2004 & 2007 I worked at Calendar Club, a nationwide retailer, and worked on the launch of their successful ecommerce site CalendarClub.co.uk.
- From 2007 to 2010 I was the Senior Website Coordinator for the Stovax Group, where I was responsible for the planning, design, build and ongoing development of 14 websites representing different brands within the group.
- I have a wealth of commercial experience working with all sizes of company from small start-ups to organisations with hundreds of employees.
- I understand that there can be very different logistical, business demands depending on the size and structure of an organisation. My experience ensures we can offer a service flexible enough to fit in with different requirements from our customers.
