Web Design

Designed Around Your Customers

A lot of web design starts with a template and fills in the gaps. I start with who your customers are, what they're looking for, and what you need them to do next, then design the pages to make that easy. Phone first, big screens after.

I've designed websites since 2011 for everyone from local businesses to the NHS, and I still design every one myself.

  • Research Before Layouts

    We start with a conversation about your business, your customers and who you're up against. I plan the pages and what each one needs to do before any visual design happens, so the design solves the right problem.

    #1
  • Designed in Figma, Phone First

    You'll see wireframes first, then full designs for phone and desktop. Two rounds of feedback are built in, and you can click through a prototype before anything gets built.

    #2
  • Accessible From the Start

    Contrast, type size, focus states and clear forms are part of the design from day one, not a fix at the end. The site works for more people, and that helps with search too.

    #3
  • Designed by the Person Who Builds It

    Because I build what I design, every layout is one that will work in a browser, load quickly and be easy for you to update. Nothing gets lost in a hand-off to a developer guessing what was meant.

What You Get

Everything a Website Needs

Every web design project includes the same essentials, whatever its size. The size of the site changes the price, not the care that goes into it.

See typical costs →
  • A discovery call and written brief

    We talk through your business, your customers and your goals, then I write it up so we agree on what we're building.

  • A plan of every page

    What each page is for and what goes on it, agreed before any design starts.

  • Wireframes first

    Simple layouts to get the structure right before colour and detail.

  • Designs for phone and desktop

    Full designs in Figma, with a clickable prototype you can try before anything is built.

  • Two rounds of feedback

    Built into the timeline, so changes are part of the plan rather than an extra.

  • Accessibility designed in

    Contrast, type sizes, focus states and clear forms are there from the start.

  • Search basics set up

    Page titles, descriptions, headings and structured data, so Google understands every page.

  • Built by the person who designed it

    If I'm building it too, nothing gets lost between design and development.

  • Launch and handover

    I handle the launch, and show you how to update the site if you're editing it yourself.

A good fit if

  • You want a site designed around your customers, not a template
  • You'd like to work with one person from first call to launch
  • Your website needs to bring in enquiries, not just exist

Probably not the right fit if

  • You need a full site live in a week or two
  • You're after a theme filled in as cheaply as possible
  • You need a team on hand for changes every day

Not sure whether a freelancer or an agency suits you? I wrote about how to choose.

Web Design Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What does your web design process include?

    Discovery, a plan of the pages, wireframes, then full visual design in Figma for phone and desktop. There are two rounds of feedback before anything is signed off and handed into the build.

  • How much does web design cost?

    Every project is quoted on its own, from a single landing page to a large site. The pricing page shows typical ranges and what moves the price.

  • How long does a web design project take?

    Most full sites take 8 to 12 weeks from brief to launch, and design is usually four to six weeks of that. A one-page site can be much quicker.

  • Can you redesign an existing website?

    Yes. I'll look at what's working first, keep the content and URLs that matter, and redesign around the parts that aren't.

  • Do you use templates?

    No. Every design is made for your business, content and customers. I'll reuse patterns that are proven to work, but the design itself is yours.

  • Can you design and build the website?

    Yes, that's how most of my projects run. I design it, build it, and look after the launch, so you deal with one person from start to finish.

  • Do you only work with businesses in London?

    No. I'm based in London and work with businesses across the UK. Projects run over video calls, email and shared Figma files, so where you're based rarely matters.

  • What do I need to have ready before we start?

    Less than you might think. A rough idea of what the site needs to do helps, along with any existing content or branding. If you need help with copy or images, we'll plan it in, and the pricing page explains how that affects the cost.
