Website Design & Development
I design websites that look like your business on its best day: clear, calm and easy to use. Every page has one job, and the design makes that job obvious.

The problem
- Visitors land on the site and cannot tell within a few seconds what you do or what to do next.
- The design no longer looks like the business you are today, and each new page drifts further from the last.
- It looks fine on a laptop and awkward on the phone most of your visitors are holding.
What I do about it
- I start with what your visitors come to do, and give every page one job in a sitemap we agree before any design.
- Layouts, type and colour follow your brand, and a small component library keeps new pages consistent after launch.
- I design for phones first, and you review a clickable preview in the browser rather than a static picture.

What’s included
Site structure
A sitemap and content plan built around what your visitors come to do.
Visual design
Layouts, type and colour that follow your brand, or help shape it if it is still young.
Responsive layouts
Designed for phones first, then tablets and large screens, not squeezed in afterwards.
Design system
Reusable components and simple rules, so new pages stay consistent after launch.
Copy support
Headlines and page copy edited for clarity, or written with you from scratch.
Prototypes
Clickable previews in the browser, so you judge the real thing rather than a static picture.
How it works
Discovery
We talk about your business, your customers and what the site needs to change.
Structure
I map the pages and the path through them, and we agree it together.
Design
Key pages first, reviewed together, then rolled out to every template.
Build or handover
I build it myself, or hand clean, documented files to your developer.

Questions people ask
Answers to confirm
Can you redesign my existing website?
Yes. I start with what works today, including your analytics and search rankings, so the redesign keeps what earns traffic and fixes what does not.
Do I need a brand identity first?
It helps, but it is not required. If your logo and colours are settled, I design within them. If they are not, I can propose a simple visual direction that suits the site.
Will the site work well on phones?
Yes. I design for small screens first and test on real devices before launch.
Do you use templates?
No. Each site is designed for its own content. I do reuse proven patterns for things like navigation and forms, because people already know how they work.
