Why hire me?
- Specialist in working with individuals and small businesses of all kinds who want high-quality design and a personal service.
- Creative and analytical knowledge. I examine the aims of your business with you and develop solutions that achieve your ambitions and separate you from the crowd.
- I’m based in the UK (although I can work with you wherever you are) and I don’t outsource my work, so you always know who to talk to.
- Your one-stop shop. I work with you through the whole process, from initial ideas to live site, so that you get a site that you are happy with and which works for your business.
The design process
- 1 You contact me with what you want you want to achieve. We discuss the needs of the site, what you want to communicate, and the branding and style you want to use.
- 2 Once we have agreed on a price, I create mock-ups and design samples for your comment and approval. This crucial phase is where we create the visual style and layout to make the site as effective as possible
- 3 The site is built and tested for browser compatibility and W3C validation. It is optimised for search engine ranking so it gets maximum exposure. Then the site goes live and starts working for you!

“What do you charge?”
Every site is different and, because I produce mainly bespoke sites, it’s tricky to give a figure without knowing the details. The easiest way to get an idea of costs is to drop me a line. Then we can discuss what the job requires and I can give you a tailored quote. Don’t be afraid to ask as many questions as you like – it helps me to understand your needs!“I’ve seen companies offering websites for a lower price – can you match it”
There are many companies around that promise quality results at an extremely low price. Whilst some may produce good work, many of them outsource it to teams of designers in other countries.
It’s hard for you to have a productive relationship with a designer when you have no personal contact – you cannot be sure if they understand what you want.
I always strive to give you good value for money and a personal service with clear and dependable communication so you get the results you want. Sometimes this makes me more costly than the bargain basement companies, but the outcome will be a well-constructed website that really gets the job done.
“What do I need to do now?”
Send me a message. I’ll get back to you with any questions I need to give you a quote – then we can get the ball rolling. I’m looking forward to hearing from you!What can a website do for you?
Promote your work to galleries, shops, potential customers and collectors.
Keep people up to date with your latest work and activities so they keep coming back.
Sell your work directly – build a business around the your art, design products or services.
Communicate with fellow artists and designers around the world, making contacts and finding new customers.
“What will the site look like?”
The most important thing is to show off your portfolio of work at its best – so that’s where we start. By talking to you about what aspects you want to highlight, I can produce a design that supports your work and brings it the attention it deserves.
“What do I need to do?”
Good quality images of your work are essential – for many people the site will be their first encounter with your work, so you want to impress them. Also, a well-written statement or biography gives visitors a more rounded idea about who you are and where your work comes from. I will let you know the best way to save and format the images so they have maximum impact.“How long will it take?”
It comes down to a combination of how busy I am and how promptly you provide the necessary materials. Once the specification is agreed with you, I’ll give you a completion date when your new site will be ready for the world to see!
“How much will it cost?”
Prices start from around £200 for a very simple site, but it depends on the exact specification we agree on. There are a couple of additional costs as well, (i.e. the hosting: where the site is stored, and the domain name), but I am happy to advise on both to make sure you get the best deal.
