about

portrait of author

I am a freelance web designer/developer working in Bristol, providing brochure and content management sites for small businesses. My aim is to demystify the web design process as much as possible for my clients, and to provide a flexible range of options to satisfy their goals.

services

design

With over 10 years experience in visual design, I can deliver visuals to promote your brand. I believe that form should follow function, and that a successful design is measured in how easy it is to use

content management

Most clients want the capacity to edit their website themselves. There are a large variety of excellent packages available that can be customised to meet your requirements.

e-commerce

From simple PayPal integration to full blown e-commerce sites, I can provide you with the capacity to sell your products online

web applications

Sometimes, a client needs something so unique it needs to be built from the ground up. I can build full stack web applications from end to end

Full Fat, or Semi-Skimmed?

We start the ball rolling with a conversation about what you are looking to achieve. I'll take that away, and come back to you with a quotation ranging from the cheapest to the most expensive option, what I like to call the Full Fat and Semi-Skimmed options. You pick the features you need, and I use this to provide you with a schedule of work and a final quotation.

Red Light, Green Light...

I roll my sleeves up and get to work. You'll be granted access to a client area on Project Bubble where you will be able to keep track of progress. As each milestone in the project is reached, I contact you to review the work and give me the green light to proceed to the next step. Any revisions that are required are implemented*. I will invoice you for the work at each stage.

Finish!

All things being good, we cross the finish line and I request your sign off on the final development version. Following this, I set the site up in it's production environment, perform any optimisation and invoice you for the final payment. If a rolling support package is required, I will record site metrics for you, so that we can measure it's performance over the coming weeks to see if it's achieving your goals.
