Need help with a business website?

More than just pretty

I specialise in websites that do things, easily and simply.

Take bookings, take subscriptions, showcase different kinds of content, allow visitors to filter content or search for what they need. Take money, grant or block access to things, or just simplify large quantities of information into logical, manageable bites.

There’s nothing I love more than playing with website data in Excel. Blog posts, products, user information. Moving them from one place to another, chopping them up, reconfiguring and repurposing them. 

The Web Design Tools I use and recommend

Professional service with a personal touch

Some people are more comfortable with a big web design agency whereas others prefer a more personal touch. Or perhaps want to keep control of the project but need an extra member of the team who has the skills to design, build and maintain a website. If you’re the second type, then you’re in the right place.

I’ve become that extra member of the team in many organisations over the years, from local government departments and collaborations, to government-funded not for profits and associations, small businesses and one person businesses. Budget is never unlimited in these instances, so what i bring to the table, is the ability to think like an entrepreneur and get maximum bang for a limited marketing buck.

You might not know this yet, but for any business, and particularly a small business, the process of creating a website will push you out of your comfort zone.

You’ll need to think about your business from your customers’ point of view and often in completely different ways than you have before. You’ll have to do some big thinking, to find the elusive words that describe how your offering is unique and to blend them with the ones your customers are using to search for the thing you sell in the first place.

You’ll have to get clear about where your business is actually headed and how you can leverage your new website to be the stand-out choice more often than not.

I tend to create a particular type of website

I create websites with all sorts of different looks and layouts, but most of them could be described as clean and easy to understand.

Some of them are plain information sites and others can do things, like take enquiries, take bookings, take money or sell things.

All of them are designed to convert, which means they are arranged to remove all possible obstacles between someone discovering you and them wanting to throw fistfuls of money in your direction. Without being pushy and without sounding like a know-it-all.

Some examples of my recent work

Has your content been written or reviewed by an experienced SEO Copywriter?

A website is only as good as the words on the page. I often get web design referrals from within my network of copywriter friends, because they know I put a high priority on ensuring that the site is created with best SEO practice in mind. On projects like this, they write the copy and I create the site.
