Websites & Development
The website they remember.
From a focused business site to a complex, video-led experience, your website should make it easy for the right customer to understand what you offer and take the next step. I bring design, development and 30 years of technical experience together to make that happen.
Why work with me?
You work directly with the person designing and building your website, from the first conversation to the agreed handover.
- A distinctive design shaped around your business
- Mobile journeys that make enquiries straightforward
- Readable code and an agreed way to manage your content
Start with what the website needs to achieve
Before choosing colours or animations, we establish who the site is for and what a useful enquiry looks like. A service business may need phone calls, a portfolio may need to demonstrate its work, and a shop needs a clear buying journey. Those decisions guide the structure, copy and calls to action.
I can build a new website or improve an existing one. Working code and useful content are worth keeping where they support the project. We agree which parts need attention before development starts.
Design and development in the same conversation
A design is only successful if it works in a real browser. I handle the interface and the underlying code, so visual decisions can be checked against mobile behaviour, loading requirements and the systems your business uses.
That can include custom layouts, video, galleries, editing controls, forms and integrations. The exact features belong in the agreed scope. You do not need to know which language or framework to ask for; explain the problem and I can recommend a practical approach.
Built for people using phones
Small screens deserve more than a squeezed desktop layout. I consider readable text, comfortable tap targets, useful navigation and a clear route to contact. Motion should help people understand the page and give the work character.
Images and videos need sensible loading, and interactive features need fallbacks. I also consider page titles, descriptive content, image text alternatives and a structure that search engines can understand. These are foundations, not a promise of a particular ranking.
Know what happens after launch
PHP hosting is available. We agree what you need to edit, the hosting setup, support costs and what the handover includes. If another developer will maintain it, the code should be readable and the setup understandable.
Website pricing starts at £400 for a smaller scope. Complex sites with video, custom interactions, multiple systems and substantial content are quoted individually; that starting price does not describe the portfolio builds. Send your existing URL, the main problem you want solved and your timescale so I can suggest a sensible next step.
A few practical questions
Can you improve my current site?
Yes. I can assess the existing design and code, then agree a focused improvement or a larger redevelopment where it is justified.
Can I change the content myself?
Editing controls can be included. We define which text, images, videos and other content you need to manage before the build.
How long will it take?
That depends on the scope and how ready your content is. I agree the delivery plan with you before starting rather than promise the same turnaround for every project.
Start with a conversation.
A clear brief is enough to get started. You do not need to arrive with a technical specification.
