Freelance web designer, Bideford, North Devon A professional website for your business, designed, built and looked after by me.

I design and build websites for small and established businesses in North Devon and across the UK, and can host, maintain and update them afterwards. You deal with me directly, from the first conversation onwards.

15 years in web design

15 years in web design: Every site is custom designed and built around your business.

UK-based hosting

Included with managed plans, or available with a fixed-price build.

3 to 6 weeks

Typical build time for a small business site, once content is ready.

Two ways to work together

Have the website handled for you on a monthly plan, or pay once and own it outright.

Managed monthly From £99 a month

No upfront cost. 24-month minimum, then rolling monthly. Paid by Direct Debit, set up once.

Bespoke website designed and built for you
UK-based hosting, maintenance and security
Content edits handled for you each month
Plans from 3 to 7 pages, with more available on request.

A managed plan is a service rather than a purchase. The site stays with me and everything is included while the plan runs.

See fixed-price options

Prices shown are the full price. I am not VAT registered, so there is no VAT to add.

Not sure which suits you?

Tell me a little about the business and what you need, and I will recommend the option that fits. If neither suits, I will say so. Get in touch.

Already have a website?

I can fix, update and look after existing websites, and help with SEO. Work is charged hourly, or as one fixed price when the scope is clear. See how I can help.

Coastal Nets

A brochure website and online shop for a family-run supplier of commercial fishing nets and marine equipment. I migrated both from Shopify to WordPress and look after them.

East-The-Water Primary

A website for a local primary school in Bideford, North Devon, built to be clear and easy to use for parents and staff. I host the site and handle updates as needed.

Pharos Controls

A large bespoke WordPress website with custom plugins for a global specialist in architectural lighting control. I built the site, working alongside their design team.

How it works

Whichever route you choose, the process is the same, and you deal with me at every stage.

Step 1

Tell me about the business

We talk it through: Send me a message or arrange a short call. I will ask what the business does, who you want to reach and what the website needs to achieve, then tell you honestly which route suits you better.

Step 2

I build it

I design and build it: I design and build the site around your business, using your wording, images and services. You review it before anything goes live. Most small business sites take 3 to 6 weeks once I have your content.

Step 3

I look after it

I launch it and look after it: Once you are happy, I launch the site. On a managed plan I host, maintain and update it for you. With a fixed-price build you own it, and I can still host and support it if you want.

Tell me about your business

Send me a few lines about what you do and what you need from a website. I will reply personally, usually within one working day, and tell you honestly whether a managed plan or a fixed-price build suits you better. There is no obligation.
