Editorial and design at 'The Thing Itself'
A plug for my partnership with Web Editor Nancy Duin:
The Thing Itself (TTI) is a partnership skilled in web organisation, content, design and training. We specialise in:
- expert critiques of websites, to identify why they may not be achieving their aims and how this can be put right
- training in website writing, editing and structure tailored to each client’s needs
- combined critique and training that enables clients to identify where their websites are going wrong and quickly get their staff trained to rectify this.

Web design
I have designed and produced 150 websites over the last 14 years.
I can help you to take your first ideas about your web presence and turn them into an elegant, easy to use website that helps your site visitors.
I specialise in sites for:
Why ask me to design your website?
I could help make the process of putting together an easy-to-use elegant website much easier and more cost-effective than you'd think.
My experience
I have a proven track record in making successful, usable, easy-to-update websites. Over the last 11 years I have designed, produced and project-managed 131 information-led websites.
A personal service
You will get a personal service from me. You will always speak directly to me throughout the project, rather than an intermediary.
I do not use templates. The design will be led by your brand identity, the information you need to communicate, and the needs of your audience. Every site I design comes out of close collaboration and discussion with each client. I will apply 'user-centric' design principles to deliver a website that takes into consideration the information needs of your target audience.
Specialists
I work with other appropriate tried-and-trusted professionals to fullfil a brief. These have included editors, proofreaders, technical specialists, photographers, strategists and web video producers.
Support
I can advise you on writing for the web by supplying you with written advice and a list of recommended books. I will also give you feedback when you are editing the text. I will help you write navigational text so that people can find the content easily.
I will support you after your website is live. I can provide maintenance training so that you can update your site yourselves. Or I can update your website.
I am willing to commit to a long-term relationship with you to enable your site content to grow over time. I have built up successful relationships with The Esmee Fairbairn Foundation (over 6 years), local probation sites (6 years) and Channel 4 Television (7 years).
Value for money
Often budgets for small organisations and charities are tight. The service I provide will make the best use of your resources. Having worked on over 100 websites means that I can design and produce websites quicker with better solutions. I automatically explore your future content and technical needs. This may mean cost savings in the long-term as the structure, design and technology will be scalable. I'm self-employed. I have few overheads and no staff to pay salaries to.
