Website design for small businesses

A website is often the first impression your business makes, so it's worth getting right. I'll take the time to understand your business properly, so what we end up with is something we're both proud of.

01 How I work

How I approach a website design project

I keep you involved at every step. You know your business better than anyone, so the more you're part of the process, the better the end result.

What's not included
  • Stock photography (I'll help you choose, you buy the licences)
  • Copywriting from scratch. I'll shape yours, or bring in a writer and tell you the cost first
  • Illustration or animation work - I'll bring in a specialist if you need it, and tell you the cost first

Files, fonts and a walk-through. Build it yourself or have me do it.

04 Straight answers

About web design, specifically.

Anything missing? Ask me directly and I'll give you a straight answer, not a sales one.

How long does custom website design take?

I generally allow 2 to 3 weeks for bespoke web design projects. If I'm working from existing branding then it can be much quicker. I'll always keep you informed of my progress and check in occasionally to ensure the timescale doesn't slip.

Can you work from my existing brand?

Absolutely, and it's usually cheaper. Send me whatever you have - even a logo and two colours is enough to work from. If you're struggling to take what you already have and mould it into something professional, I can help with that also.

What if I don't like the first designs?

That's what the rounds of changes are for. If we're still miles apart after the second round, I'll tell you honestly and we'll work out how to move forward. Just be upfront with me, and you'll get the same back.

Do I have to buy the build too?

Not at all. Plenty of people take the designs to their own developer, handle them in-house or by themselves. I'll hand over everything you need - designs, fonts, branding etc. It's yours to do as you please!

How do you decide how much it costs?

We'll talk through what your business needs and agree a fixed price before we start. I charge £30 an hour, with a minimum of £300 (10 hours of design work).

Tell me what you're trying to build.

A couple of lines is plenty. I reply to everything within a working day, even if the answer is “I'm not the right fit”.
