About Me & My Services

I’m a website designer, located in Poole, with over 5 years worth of experience. Within that time, I’ve learned how to effectively create many different types of websites, including: business sites, personal portfolios, E-Commerce stores, blogs and many more. I make custom-coded Wordpress websites that are performance-enhanced and easy for anyone to edit and manage.

Besides website design, I offer many other effective website-related services for my clients. One of these is my post-launch updates service, where I’ll implement updates and changes of any size or kind into your site once it’s live for an affordable hourly rate. This is perfect for customers who have less experience with websites, as managing them post-launch may seem daunting.

If you’re interested in any of my services, please contact me. I can still work with you if you have a specific deadline that needs to be met.

Why Choose My Website Design?

The main benefit of my website design service is the conversion optimisation, meaning your site will generally receive more contacts, sales and income than your competitors. I achieve this with my UX-heavy approach to website design, which is often neglected by other website developers, as well as other conversion-boosting features such as speed optimisations.

I create websites that are powered by Wordpress for easier post-launch management, but, unlike other developers, I code each one from scratch as it leads to a faster performance and offers more customisation. Many developers simply use a pre-made theme from a marketplace, which are often horribly built and optimised and won’t fit the exact purpose of your site.

No matter your budget, deadline or website knowledge, I can still work with you to ensure your site meets all of your requirements to a high standard. Not only are all of my services very beginner-friendly, with me providing support, instructions and assistance for each step of the process, but I can also meet any specific deadline you may have for an affordable extra cost.

My Design Philosophy

When designing websites, I take a UX-heavy approach, meaning I prioritise ensuring the site is easy for anyone to use regardless of their website expertise. Many businesses try too hard to make their website seem ‘fancy’ with weird design decisions that only end up making the site harder to use. If a user is struggling with their site, they’ll simply click off, hence losing that business a valuable customer and conversion. UX is the most important factor for conversions.

In the images provided, you can see a real example of a website I made for a local content writing agency. Not only is this site very easy-to-use due to the effective headings and simple layouts, but I’ve added some uniqueness to it with the handwritten fonts and lined paper background, both matching with the purpose of the website. This is a perfect example of making a website unique and fancy without sacrificing its usability - it’s a win-win for you and the client.

If you’re still unconvinced by my design methods, you can view my portfolio to discover a complete showcase of websites I’ve created for past clients.

My Development Method

I use custom code to create Wordpress websites (with tools such as HTML, CSS, Javascript, PHP and many more) as it’ll provide a faster performance and offer more customisation for your site, as well as lead to easy post-launch management. Many website developers just use a pre-made theme they bought online, which are often terribly built, poorly optimised and won’t be a good fit for your website as they were developed for a completely different type of site.

Using custom code will allow me to implement any feature into your site, regardless of complexity, without using too many plugins. For example, in the images provided, you can see a real example of an E-Commerce marketplace website I made for a client. This site implements many advanced features, including:

  • A fully operational account and login system.
  • Item and user uploads to the backend.
  • Secure payment and search forms.
