I have 7 years experience and a client base ranging from as far away as New York, to as close to home as Bournemouth.
I've worked on projects for large and small businesses, even charities, and been lucky enough to have my work featured in various design showcases.

It's never best to dive into a project all guns blazing. That's why I always begin with research, analysis and careful information architecture. From gaining the answers to these questions I'll begin by creating a basic 'wireframe' of your website. This helps us both find out the best way of laying out your website and ensuring your visitors are able to find what they're looking for in a flash. This phase helps set the tone for the rest of your project.
Now that I've got your requirements sorted, its time to move onto the design stage. Here I'll use the structure established in the planning phase to create a visually appealing user interface for your website. Great design and usability lie at the core of this phase.
Once the design has been signed off I'll begin to turn your design into a fully functioning website. I specialise in standards based development so you can rest assured your site will be future proof and accessible. I am also able to implement a Content Management System so your websites content can be updated at ease by yourself if you so require.
Now that your site has launched it doesn't mean we can sit back and relax. I am able to provide maintenance and offer optimisation services to boost your traffic and establish your beautiful new website. I'll look at how users are interacting with your site so we can be sure your customers are getting the best possible user experience.
I am now accepting projects. Get in touch so I can give your project the attention it deserves. Send an email using the form to the left or call Will on
