A beautiful website is a great starting point, but it’s also important that people can find it. That’s why I build SEO foundations into my website design work from the beginning, rather than treating them as an afterthought.

I can also help with Google Business Profile setup and improvements, particularly if you’re a local business looking to reach more customers in your area. More in-depth keyword research, ongoing SEO and continued work to improve search rankings are available separately. I’ll explain what’s worth considering for your business and what can wait.

A little look at what I’ve been creating

Every business is different, and I love bringing that individuality to the websites and marketing I create. From colourful, personality-filled websites to professional business redesigns, each project is approached with fresh ideas and a focus on what the client needs.

From our first chat to launch day

I want the website design process to feel straightforward, enjoyable and collaborative.

You’ll always know what’s happening, what I need from you and what comes next.


1. Let’s have a chat

First things first, I’d love to hear about your business and what you’re looking to achieve. I have a website design questionnaire that can help get the ball rolling. You can fill this in beforehand, or we can simply work through it together in a more informal chat.

Some clients prefer email, others like a video call or a good old-fashioned face-to-face meeting. I’m happy to work in whichever way suits you best. I also understand that everyone communicates differently. If you prefer things written down, need a little more time to process information or find traditional meetings a bit overwhelming, that’s absolutely fine. I’ll adapt to what works best for you.


2. A clear plan and honest quote

Once I’ve got a feel for your business, ideas and requirements, I’ll put together a clear, itemised quote. I’ll explain what’s included, what each part costs and what I recommend prioritising. No confusing jargon or unexpected surprises, just a straightforward breakdown so you can make an informed decision.


3. Getting the look and feel right

Before I start building, I’ll create a mood board to establish the visual direction of your website.

This gives us a chance to explore colours, styles, imagery and inspiration, making sure we’re on the same page before the design work begins.

Once we’re happy with the direction, I’ll design and build an initial page for you to review. This gives you the opportunity to see how everything is coming together and provide feedback before I roll the design out across the rest of the website.


4. Building your website

With the design direction agreed, I’ll get to work building the rest of your website.

I’ll bring everything together, making sure the pages work beautifully across desktop, tablet and mobile, with a clear structure and an easy journey for your visitors.

Already have your branding, photography and website copy? Brilliant! If not, don’t worry. I can source suitable stock imagery, help with your website wording and draw on my background in graphic design and branding to help bring the whole thing together.


5. The finishing touches

Once the website is built, I’ll test everything before launch. That includes checking mobile layouts, links, contact forms, page structure and the essential SEO foundations. I’ll also ask you to have a good look around and give everything a play. You’re the expert in your own business, so an extra pair of eyes is always welcome!

I usually allow around three rounds of feedback, but I’m not going to put a hard limit on making sure things are right. If the project starts moving significantly away from the original agreed design, features or scope, we’ll have a chat about any additional costs before I carry out further work.


6. Ready for launch!

Once we’re both happy, it’s time to get your website live. I’ll make sure everything is in place, talk you through anything you need to know and provide training if you’d like to manage and update your website yourself. And that’s not the end of the relationship. I’m always happy to help with future updates, improvements and additions as your business grows.

Ready to get started?

Whether you have a clear idea of what you want, a website that needs a bit of love or absolutely no idea where to start, I’m happy to help.

Tell me a little about your business and what you’re hoping to achieve. We’ll have a chat, work out what’s possible and find an approach that works for you. No pressure, no hard sell, just honest advice and a friendly conversation.

Let’s make something good happen.

Frequently asked questions

Have a question I haven’t covered?
Please get in touch

Can you redesign my existing website without changing my domain?

Yes. In most cases, I can work with your existing domain and hosting arrangements. I’ll look at what you already have and work out the best way to approach the redesign.

Who will own my website?

Once your project is complete, your website belongs to you. You’ll have full access to it, so you can make changes, update your content, add images and manage your own pages independently.

If you’d like a little guidance, I’ll happily show you how everything works and provide training to help you feel confident managing your website yourself.

Can I update my website myself once it’s finished?

Yes! I’ll make sure you have full access to your website, and I can provide training if you’d like to manage your own pages, images, text and other content.

Do you offer ongoing website support?

Yes. I can help with updates, improvements, maintenance and general website support after launch. We can discuss what you need and find an approach that works for you.

How long does it take to build a website?

It really depends on the size and complexity of the project. A smaller website can sometimes be completed in less than a week, while larger or more involved projects may take a month or longer.

I can work towards your preferred deadline, but the biggest factor is often how quickly I receive content, feedback and approvals along the way.

Can I request changes to the design?

Absolutely. Your feedback is an important part of the process. I generally allow around three rounds of feedback, but I’m flexible. If we’re making substantial changes to the original agreed scope, I’ll discuss any additional costs with you first.

Can you add extra pages and features later?

Of course. You don’t need to have everything figured out from the start. I regularly work with clients who come back for additional pages, services, booking functionality and other improvements as their businesses grow.

What if I’m not quite sure what I need?

If you already have your branding, copy and photography, that’s fantastic. If not, I can help with copywriting, source suitable stock imagery and support with branding and graphic design. We can discuss exactly what you need before the project starts.

You don’t need to arrive with a fully formed plan. Part of my job is helping you work out what’s important, what’s worth investing in and what you can probably do without.

Can I build/update my website in stages?

No problem. We can start with the essentials and add extra pages, services or features when you’re ready. I’ve worked with businesses this way before, helping them build their online presence as their budgets and needs change.

Your website doesn’t have to do everything on day one. We can create a solid foundation and build on it as your business develops. Many of my clients come back to me for additional pages, new services and extra functionality as they grow.

Can I spread the cost?

I know that investing in a website can feel like a big commitment, particularly when you’re running a small business, working to a tight budget or still figuring out exactly what you need.

I can break a project down into an itemised list of priorities, with individual costs for each part. This means you can see exactly what needs doing, what can wait and how much each stage will cost.

How do payments work?

I normally ask for a 50% deposit to secure your project, with the remaining 50% payable once the website is completed.

You’ll always receive a clear, itemised quote before any work begins, so you know exactly what’s included and what you’re paying for.

Are there any additional costs?

Domain names, hosting, website platform subscriptions and any premium plugins or third-party services may have their own costs. These are separate from my design fee and will always be discussed with you beforehand, so there are no unexpected surprises.
