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.

You are welcome to speak to my past and current clients - I can provide contact details on request.
