Website design & development · Cheltenham

A website that feels
like your business.

Make a clear first impression, explain what you do and give people an easy way to get in touch. I design and build websites around your business and the people you want to reach.

What do you need?

A fresh start, or a better next version.

You do not have to know how it should be built. Start with what your current site is missing, or what a new one needs to do.

01 · A new website

Put your business on the web.

A clear structure, a considered visual design and the right pages to explain your services and help potential customers contact you.

02 · Redesign & improvements

Get more from what you have.

Improve an outdated design, confusing content, mobile layout or awkward enquiry journey. We can look at what is worth keeping before deciding on a rebuild.

03 · A more capable website

Give people something useful to do.

When your site needs a booking flow, customer account, integration or other interactive feature, I can help scope the software behind it.

Considered from the start

The details matter.

We agree the work your website needs. That can include:

Content and structure
Make the services, proof of work and next step easy to find. Work with your existing copy and assets, and identify what is missing.
Design and mobile usability
A visual style that suits the business, with readable type, clear navigation and layouts that adapt to different screens.
Search foundations
Descriptive page titles, meaningful content, crawlable links, a sitemap and appropriate metadata. These help discovery; they do not guarantee rankings.
Development and checks
Build the agreed pages and interactions, then check layout, navigation, links and the main enquiry journey before launch.
Handover and next steps
Agree how the site is hosted, how content will be updated and what help you will need after launch. Recurring costs and support belong in the proposal.

Relevant work

Experience beyond the homepage.

My web work includes the frontend and supporting systems of a live marketplace platform.

The public Ply marketplace website and its interface preview

Plyapp.io · Web platform

A connected product.

Built and improved the React frontend, Rust API, PostgreSQL data and customer-facing email workflows of a production marketplace.

This is an example of platform work; your own website may need a much simpler scope.

Before you get in touch

A few useful answers.

Website, web app or bespoke software?
Can you improve my existing website?

Yes. Send the URL and describe what is not working for you. I’ll look at the current setup before recommending targeted improvements or a rebuild.

How much will my website cost?

Pricing is bespoke. The pages, content, design work, features and existing setup all affect the scope. We agree what is included and the cost before paid work starts.

Do I need all the content ready?

A rough outline is enough for an initial conversation. Share the material you have; we can identify the copy, images and decisions needed for the agreed build.

What about hosting and future updates?

We discuss these during scoping, including who manages the site, any recurring costs and whether you need ongoing support. They are agreed as part of the proposal.

Do you only work in Cheltenham?

I’m based in Cheltenham and work with clients across the UK. You deal directly with me throughout the project.

Tell me what you have in mind.

A rough outline is enough. We’ll discuss the need and agree a scope and price before paid work starts.
