Hi, my name is Will Smith and I'm a website designer with a huge passion for creating beautiful, engaging, and accessible websites that get results for my clients. I have 4 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. I'm currently self employed and freelancing full time. Prior to this I gained valuable agency experience working for Atelier Studios in Southampton, Redweb in Poole, and at Giant Peach where my career began in Wiltshire.
Im passionate about typography, the web, usability, accessibility and great design. Im also a drummer. Design isn't just a job for me, its something I love to do. I count myself very lucky to make a living being creative. Hire me today to see how we can transform your website.
Some of the work showcased below was created during my time at Atelier Studios. The Content Management System used on the Peter Cooper, Paradigm and Cherry Pick People websites was also developed by Atelier.
Mind.ly allows businesses to monitor their brands, connect with potential new clients, preserve customer relationships, grow their networks, and find people with similar interests. I was hired to design their website.

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 available for freelance work. If you are interested in my services please send me an email using the form to the left or call Will on +44 (0) 7515 906568.
