the work.
A useful website starts with understanding what you sell and what someone needs to know before contacting you. I work with you on the page structure, content priorities and visual direction, so visitors can understand your offer, see relevant work and find a clear next step. Your actual services and evidence give the design its starting point.
I can take a new website from an initial brief through design and development, or reshape an existing site that no longer represents the business well. We agree the scope and direction before the build. Photography, case studies, service information and the way you want to manage content all influence the finished website.
You work directly with me throughout. I build the responsive layouts, connect the agreed forms and content features, and check the important journeys before launch. The result is a website you can explain, use and continue developing as your business changes, with a clear handover and support options discussed as part of the project.

Before we begin
A few useful
answers.
What is included in a bespoke website project?
I scope the work around the pages and functionality you need. That can cover structure, design, development, forms, content setup and launch. We also agree who is providing copy, photography and branding, so the proposal makes the responsibilities clear.
How much will my website cost?
The cost depends on the size of the site, how much design and content work is needed, and any functionality beyond standard pages. Send me your current URL, what needs to change and the budget you have in mind. I can then suggest a sensible scope and provide a project-specific quote.
Can you redesign my existing website?
Yes. I start by reviewing the current site and what you want it to do differently. Useful content and existing URLs need to be considered alongside the new design, particularly where pages already bring in relevant visitors. We agree what to retain, improve or replace before implementation.
Do you work with businesses near Market Harborough?
I’m based in Market Harborough and can work with businesses in nearby Corby, Kettering and Leicester. I also work remotely with clients across the UK. We can agree a practical mix of calls, shared feedback and, where appropriate, an in-person meeting.
