Honest, upfront rates with no pushy sales pitches, hidden maintenance fees, or forced monthly contracts.
Your website is your 24/7 digital storefront—and usually the first impression a potential customer gets of your business. It needs to look professional, load fast, and give people clear answers without the hassle. I don’t do rushed, slapdash jobs, and I won't blind you with jargon. Instead, you get straightforward advice backed by 30+ years of tech experience, high-quality design, and honest guidance in plain English so you can make the right call for your business.
Ideal for: Tech-savvy business owners on a budget
Ideal for: Local businesses wanting a complete, done-for-you site
Ideal for: Growing firms needing custom features & CMS flexibility
I want to know as much as possible about what you want, what you're trying to achieve and what you expect. I ask lots of questions so I can get a rich picture of what you want and also to spot any potential pitfalls early doors. Once I understand what you're after, I'll work out a price and explain what's included.
It kinda works like this:
Free Initial Chat & Advice: We discuss what you need, your budget, and whether a free/DIY solution works best.
Free Homepage Mock-up: I’ll design a draft homepage draft for free. If you love it, we move forward with a 50% deposit.
Build & 2 Rounds of Tweaks: I build out the full site and we refine it together through two review cycles.
Launch & Handover: Pay the remaining 50%, and I hand over the keys. It’s 100% yours.
Pass the technical hassle over to me. Covers hosting management, monthly health checks, software/security updates, and up to 1 hour of content tweaks every month. Pay-as-you-go ad-hoc support also available at £45/hr.
Perfect for existing or new sites. Includes Google Business Profile setup, local keyword optimization, site speed tuning, and search console setup to help local Whitley Bay & North East customers find you faster.
I know what it takes to set up and run effective online presence. I make, manage and optimise websites for local businesses; my web design services include everything necessary to get an online presence to be proud of.
You might think that if you work with a smaller web design services firm you won’t get the quality or service you’d naturally associate with a bigger agency. That’s not the case. I don’t have the overheads of a large agency and if you’re doing a project with me, you know it’s me working on it and not the latest intern or some guy who used to fit kitchens for a living.
