Web design and website development
A web design studio building websites that perform.
I design and build fast, easy-to-edit websites for independent businesses and organizations. Fixed prices agreed up front, and a real person to call when you need a change.
Recent work.
A couple of the websites I have designed and built, and what changed for the businesses behind them.
CM Earthworks & Civil Engineering
I was asked to design an “in your face” website that would appeal to the construction industry and would convert to sales enquiries, which it has.
Container Trades Statistics
The brief was to create a vibrant website with high performing SEO. It is now being served up on page 1 of Google & Bing for their “niche” marketplace.
Your web design partner, built to a high standard.
I am a one man studio, so you work with one person who designs and builds your site from the first call to launch day. Every website starts with your customers and what you need them to do, then I design the pages around that.
Sites are built in WordPress so you can update text, photos and pages yourself, and I stay on hand for anything bigger.
Included with every website
- Designed around your content, not a template
- Built in WordPress so you can edit it yourself
- Works on phones, tablets and desktops
- Search-ready structure and page titles from day one
- Contact forms that land in your inbox
- Hosting, backups and updates available
My web design services.
From a first website to a full online shop, each project is designed for your business and built to be easy to look after.
Custom website design
Initial page layouts are created for your new website, your content and your customers. The final design will emerge, based on your input as the build progresses following an iterative process.
WordPress development
Sites are built in WordPress with the DIVI5 theme bulder installed that has a visual editor, so you can change text, photos and pages without calling me. The website can be amended and added to over time.
E-commerce websites
Online shops with product pages, secure checkout and stock you can manage, set up to take orders from day one.
Website redesigns
A fresh design and rebuild for a site that has fallen behind, keeping the pages and search rankings that already work.
Industries I work with.
Trades, shops, practices and charities each need something different from a website. I design for that.
Trades and construction
Clear services, project galleries and quote requests that go straight to your phone.
Professional services
Calm, credible sites for accountants, solicitors and consultants that make it easy to get in touch.
Hospitality
Menus, opening hours and bookings for cafes, restaurants, pubs and places to stay.
Retail and e-commerce
Online shops for independent retailers, linked to the stock you already sell in store.
Health and wellbeing
Clinic and practitioner sites with treatments, prices and online appointment requests.
Parish Councils
Containing all the information needed to communicate with your constituents.
My web design process.
Six clear stages, with sign-off from you at each one, so there are no surprises on launch day.
01Discovery
A call to understand your business, your customers and what the website needs to do.
02Plan and sitemap
I agree the pages, the content each one needs and a fixed price before any design starts.
03Design
Page designs for desktop and mobile, revised with you until you are happy to sign them off.
04SEO
As the website is being built, in-suite SEO best practices are deployed to help it being found By Google & Bing when it goes live.
05Build and test
I build the site in WordPress, add your content and test it across phones, tablets and browsers.
06Launch and care
I put the site live, show you how to edit it and stay on hand for updates and support.
