Web design in Derby, from one person who does the work.

I'm Cj, a freelance web designer and developer based in Grantham, about an hour from Derby. I design, build and look after websites for Derby businesses of all sizes, from independent shops and trades to manufacturing and engineering firms. Prices are published below, so you know where you stand before we talk.

Tell me about your project See the prices

I'm about an hour away, so most of the work happens over calls, email and a live preview link you can check any time.

01 Why Derby businesses call me

Six reasons, none of them about pixels.

02 Services

What I can help with

Most projects use two or three of these together - I'll tell you which ones you actually need.

03 Selected work

Recent projects

A few recent projects, with what each business needed and how I went about it.

04 Prices

Honest pricing, from the start.

I'd rather give you real numbers than a "get in touch for a quote". Every project gets a fixed price before any work starts.

05 How It Goes

Four steps. You always know which one we're on.

Day 0

A proper chat

Half an hour on a call. What the business needs, what's in the way, what you can spend. Free, and no pitch deck.

Within 48hrs

A fixed quote

One page: scope, price, dates. If it's more than you expected, we cut scope rather than corners.

Weeks 1-6

Design & build

You see it every week on a live link. Comments go straight on the page. Nothing gets built in secret.

Launch Day

Launch & after

I press the button, watch it for a fortnight, and show you how to run it. Then I'm around when you need me.

06 Straight answers

About working with me in Derby.

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

Do you work with businesses in Derby?

Yes. I'm based in Grantham, about an hour away along the A52, and work with businesses across Derby and Derbyshire, as well as the rest of the UK.

Do you work with manufacturing and engineering businesses?

Yes. These sites often need to explain technical products or services to people who aren't engineers, while still giving buyers the detail they're looking for. I'll help you get that balance right, and make it easy for people to get a quote.

Can we meet in person?

Most of the work happens over calls and email, but Derby's only about an hour away. If meeting face to face matters to you, let me know and we'll sort something out.

How much does a website cost?

One-page sites start from £600, full sites from £1,200, and custom builds or online shops from £2,400. You'll get a fixed price before anything starts. See my full pricing for what's included.

Can you redesign my existing website?

Usually, yes. I'll take a look at what you've got first and tell you honestly whether it needs a full rebuild or just a few fixes. If you're on the fence, this post might help.

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”.
