A freelance web designer process
The brief
First things first. Once we've agree to work together, I'll direct you to my website questionnaire form. It's extremely important I understand your business very well. I'll need to know exactly what services you provide and the types of customers you serve.
Research
I pride myself on not being your typical freelance web designer. Once I've learned about your business, I'll go away and conduct my own research and learn all I can about your business, your competitors, with the goal of finding out what makes your customers tick.
Content
Once I know about your business, your competitors, and what makes your customers tick. I will come up with a content strategy that will tell us exactly what pages your website requires, that will give your customers the best chance of finding your business online.
Web design
As a freelance web designer, this for me is where the fun begins. Now I know about your business and customers. I know the content required. It's time to begin designing a stunning website that offers the very best user experience for your customers.
Web development
We've now designed a stunning website, with a prototype that you will have had a chance to play with. It's time to bring the design to life with WordPress. I'm a proud freelance web designer who specialises in WordPress web development, there will be no surprises at this stage.
Launch and learn
Time to pop the cork and celebrate a job well done and launch your website to the world. But only have a couple, because this is where the real work starts. I'll now monitor your website analytics and start understanding how your customers are interacting with your website.
This is for you
Types of websites I build
One-page websites
There are many cases where businesses may require a simple single-page website to inform customers who they are and what they do. A single page website is perfect for this.
Tradesmen websites
In my early twenties, I was an air conditioning engineer and before that I worked in many different trades as a labourer. I have a solid understanding of what trades require for their websites.
Booking websites
With the current covid-19 pandemic, we need to reduce queues as much as possible. A booking website is a great way for businesses like barbers to reduce queues. I can develop stunning booking websites.
WordPress blogs
Got a story you want to tell? Or a topic you're an expert in and you want to share it with the world? As a freelance web designer specialising in WordPress, I have a complete understanding of WordPress blogs.
Start-up websites
What I enjoy most is working with an individual or a brand new business who have no website. I'm able to provide a great amount of support getting your new business online at an affordable cost.
Streamer websites
I spent about a year streaming videos games live on Twitch. In that time I designed and developed a website to promote my own live streaming service. I learned a lot of valuable skills on the journey.

Frequently asked questions
How much will my website cost?
It’s tough to give a straight answer to that question without know what the goals of your business are. But, as a ballpark figure, for a small business website that offers a couple of services, my prices start from as little as £600. For start-ups, I’m able to divide this cost over the first year.
Why should I hire a freelance web designer?
Hiring a freelance web designer for your next web design project is very different than hiring a web agency. Typically, a web agency will have many employees and many projects going on at the same time and you can just become another number. For a web design freelancer, certainly, if you are working with me, you will be my only project. I work on one project at a time and this allows me to completely focus on your business. Also, as a freelance web designer, I work from home, so I have no office overheads and I don’t have any wages to pay employees. I’m able to pass these savings on to my customers and create premium websites at affordable prices.
How long have you worked as a freelance web designer?
I’ve been designing and developing websites since 2010. For a large part of that, I’ve sold WordPress themes on the largest theme market in the world. To date, over 2000 of my themes have been sold and I have a solid 5 out of 5 stars for reviews. For the past 2 years, I’ve been offering my skills to individuals and businesses as a freelance web designer.
