I am a freelance web designer based in Bracknell, Berkshire.
Your website should be built with your audience and brand in mind, but also built strategically to help you achieve your business goals!

In today’s economy, owners of all sizes of businesses in Berkshire are looking at ways to cut costs and web design is often overlooked. Having a professional, eye-catching website with a clear calls to action can actually help you reach your marketing goals. If you aren’t online, or if you are less visible to the consumer, then you are missing out on potential opportunities.
Your website should be built with your audience and brand in mind, but also built strategically to increase conversion rates with the ability to track and analyse your efforts.
Your website is your audience’s very first impression of your brand, it is representing your business which is why it is vital to give your visitors the best user experience possible.
I build modern, responsive websites using WordPress, and you will only be working with one designer from beginning to end.
Every successful website project starts with research and strategy. We look into your market and research your competitors to ensure we connect your business with your ideal clients. Your website is not just for you, but your customers too!
Your website should be more than just beautiful. It should be optimised for search engines as well as the users who visit it. Your website should display perfectly across all device types, and most importantly effectively communicate the value your business provides.
Your website is an extension of your brand— that means the colours, typography, photography, and importantly, the message all remain consistent. This helps clients easily recognise your business and differentiate you from your competitors.
SEO is an ongoing effort to help you attract highly-targeted traffic to your site through improving your search results rankings. Our websites are built with basic optimisation out of the box to get you started.
It’s crucial your website looks, and functions perfectly across today’s wide range of device sizes and types. This starts with “responsive” design that automatically adapts to the users device, ensuring your website is easy to navigate in any environment.
Analytics are what makes digital marketing the most powerful tool on the planet. By gaining insight to your visitors you can continually test, adjust, and apply changes to your website to improve your results and return on investment.

The design of your website and how it displays across different devices is one of the most important things to get right.
“Responsive Design” is a term that you may have previously heard. It refers to a website design that scales down to suit the size of screen on which it is being displayed. This ensures that no matter what device your potential customer is using to visit your website, they have a great experience.
Why is this important you ask? Well, the average business website will get 40% – 50% of traffic from users on mobile and tablet devices. This number can be as high as 80% for some industries!
Does it make sense to potentially miss out on half of the potential customers that visit your website, just because it didn’t load well on their device?
TIP: If you have a current website, loading your website on your smartphone and on a tablet device such as an iPad. Is the website easy to use without needing to zoom in? Can you understand the message on your website?
Just like other technology industries, the web design industry moves forwards at a rapid pace. A design element that was a great idea and attractive in 2010, may not have the same impact on your website visitors today. It’s important to regularly review and assess your website to ensure that it still has an impact on your target audience.
Updating your website can be similar to decorating your home. Refreshing the colours of your walls or choice of furnishings can have a great impact on the look and feel of your home. The same goes for your website. Giving your website a fresh coat of paint or updating the look and feel, helps to keep you in touch with your audience and take advantage of modern design trends.
TIP: Take an objective look at your website, as if you were a potential customer. Does your website feel like it presents the right message? How does your website compare to your competitors?
A few examples of my work from a range of industries.
A poor user experience is one of the most common reasons for a visitor to leave your website.
How easy is your website to use for your visitors?
User Experience is quite a vast topic, but here’s 5 things that a visitor should be able to do when they reach your website:
A great Berkshire independent web designer will ensure your business is represented by a beautifully made website, with a good user experience to help increase customer retention.
SEO web design is the practice of creating websites that are fully accessible and indexable by search engines.
SEO-friendly websites usually get more traffic than websites that ignore search engines.
Of course, you want to put your users first. But to get the most out of your website, you want to design and develop your website with users AND search engines in mind.
All of my WordPress Websites are built to be SEO friendly, with a mobile first design, fully responsive, great user experience, simple website structures for ease of use for you and your visitors and much more.
Yes, all of my websites are custom built from scratch on WordPress by my own fair hand. I build your site according to your logo and branding and according to your business needs and requirements.
The main element I will need from you is your content. I do my best to make this process as hands off as possible for you, so you can concentrate on providing great service to your new and current clients. I do find that we get the best results when I handle the full process, however, I will be asking for your insight and feedback throughout the process.
I do work closely with a fantastic website copywriter who specialises in SEO. Let me know if you would like to include copywriting in your quote.
My goal is to provide an exceptional service that gets you results for a fair price. I only offer services that I believe will be the best strategy for your individual needs and strive to offer more value than any other company. Since my goal is to provide you with the best results, I avoid providing a generic service. This means I will be asking you questions about your business and your goals to make sure I am the best fit for your company and to provide you with an appropriate price.
On average a standard brochure site should take around 2-4 weeks, however, this is hugely dependant on when I receive your content.
This is entirely up to you.
A standard 4 page website would normally include the following:
A homepage – An overview of your business, products and services
About us – A trust page with details about you or your business
Services/Products – A page to list your services or products
Contact Page – Including a form, contact details and call to actions
I can provide stock images for your website. f you provide the images, I strongly recommend that you use images that you have permission to use.
I personally can’t, however, I work with a fantastic SEO website copywriter. Let me know if you would like this service included in your quote.
Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) is the practice of optimising a website for search engines.
