Professional website design and development services for businesses in London and across the UK. I create custom websites that are fast, secure, and built to last – from simple landing pages to sophisticated marketing sites and e-commerce platforms.

Process
Brief — We'll start with a conversation about your goals and what you need your website to do. Every project is different, so I'll ask questions to understand exactly what you're looking for and how I can help.
Estimate — Once I have a clear picture, I'll send you a detailed quote with pricing and a realistic timeline for completion.
Deposit — To get started, I'll ask for a 50% deposit. This secures your place in my schedule and covers initial design and development work.
Research — Before diving into design, I'll research your industry, audience, and competitors. This helps me create a website that positions you effectively and stands out for the right reasons.
Content — Around this time, I'll need you to provide content – copy, images, logos, and any other materials. I can help with copywriting, branding, and illustration if needed – we can discuss this as part of your project scope.
Design — Depending on the project, I'll create static designs or interactive prototypes. You'll be able to review the work and provide feedback throughout this stage – collaboration is key to getting it right.
Development — Once you're happy with the design direction, I'll build the site using clean, maintainable code. You'll have access to view progress at any stage, and I'll keep you updated along the way.
Testing — Before launch, I'll test the site thoroughly across different devices, browsers, and screen sizes to make sure everything works perfectly.
Training & Handover — Finally, I'll walk you through how to use your content management system (if applicable), so you can confidently add and edit content yourself. I'm always available for ongoing support to ensure you're comfortable managing your site.
FAQ
Most projects take between 4–8 weeks from initial brief to launch, depending on complexity and how quickly we can gather content. A simple HTML landing page might be ready in 2–3 weeks, while a full marketing website with custom features could take 8–12 weeks. I'll give you a realistic timeline with your quote.
No – while I'm based in London, I work with clients across the UK and internationally. Most communication happens via email, video calls, and collaborative tools, so location isn't a barrier. I've successfully delivered projects for clients I've never met in person.
Working with a freelancer means you get direct communication with the person actually building your site – no account managers or middlemen. You'll work with one person throughout the entire project, which keeps things simpler, faster, and more personal. It's also typically more cost-effective than agency rates, without compromising on quality. You get the expertise and attention you need, with the flexibility of working with someone who genuinely cares about your project's success.
Kirby is a modern, file-based content management system that's faster, more secure, and easier to maintain than WordPress. It gives you full control over your content without the bloat and complexity of traditional database-driven systems. For most small business websites, portfolios, and marketing sites, it's the perfect choice.
Absolutely. If your project includes Kirby CMS, you'll have a clean, intuitive admin panel where you can add, edit, and manage content without touching any code. I'll provide training and I'm always available if you need help with updates later.
Yes. Every website I build includes technical SEO fundamentals – clean code, fast performance, mobile optimisation, and proper structure. I also offer dedicated SEO & copywriting services for more comprehensive optimisation, including keyword research, content strategy, and on-page SEO. We can discuss your specific needs and goals during our initial conversation.
I can help with that. Whether you need a complete redesign, a migration to Kirby CMS, or just some updates to an existing site, I'm happy to discuss your options. Sometimes a refresh is all you need; other times a rebuild makes more sense. I'll give you honest advice on the best approach.
Yes. After your website launches, I offer maintenance packages for updates, security monitoring, content changes, and technical support. Or if you prefer to manage things yourself, I'm available on an ad-hoc basis whenever you need assistance.
It depends on your specific requirements, but most projects fall into these ranges: HTML Website from £1,000, Portfolio Website typically around £2,500, and Marketing Website typically around £3,500. These are starting points – every project is unique. Fill out the brief form or get in touch for a detailed quote tailored to your needs.
Mainly three things: clarity on your goals, your content (text, images, logos), and timely feedback during the design phase. If you need help with any content creation – copywriting, branding, or illustration – I can include that in your project scope.
