Portfolio

I’ve worked on countless web design projects over the years—designing and building innovative websites for local Shropshire businesses and international brands alike.

Here are some of my favourites:

Why Hire Me

If you need an affordable website, but still want bespoke, agency quality web design. I’m trusted by places you’ve actually heard of, like Shrewsbury Market Hall, The Parade and Sabrina Tours.

I have 12 years commercial experience as a web designer and creative developer. In March 2020, after 5 years at a leading Shrewsbury web design agency, I left to go solo as a freelance WordPress developer.

All the websites I build are…

As fast as possible

Your website is your opportunity to put your brand right in someones face—do you want them to leave feeling annoyed? I build websites that are noticeably quick. Find out more

Accessible

My web designs feature clear, readable text, and screen reader and search engine friendly markup (e.g. correct heading <h1> tags).

Easy to maintain

The supremely popular Advanced Custom Fields plugin for WordPress gives me the freedom to create custom content layouts that are easy to update.

Optimised

Having a fast, responsive website with proper semantic markup is the best way to avoid the most common search engine ranking pitfalls. Find out more

Hosted & Supported

I can offer affordable, fast and reliable hosting for your website. For an additional cost, I can keep WordPress core and all plugins up to date to help keep your site secure.

Responsive

Whether you’re walking up Pride Hill or the Shropshire hills, my web designs look great on your phone.

But most of all, they are…

Unique.

What I Also Do

Hire me for a day

If you’re based in Telford, Shrewsbury or the wider Shropshire area, I can come to your office and sit next to you, which often yields rapid results.

Logo

I can help you come up with a simple logo or minimalist business card.

WooCommerce

WooCommerce is an ecommerce plugin for WordPress and the most popular ecommerce platform in the world. If you are a small/medium sized business in Shropshire looking to sell products online, WooCommerce might be for you. I can integrate WooCommerce into your new or existing WordPress website.

I will never give your details to any individual or company without your permission. This website does not track you in any way.

Such an amazing job George. I could go on about the various details I can see that you’ve taken care over as well as perfecting the overall look and functionality, but that could be a VERY long email :))

Things I Avoid

Magento

Magento is nothing like WordPress, and setting up a full Magento e-commerce site from start to finish is a major task that requires expert knowledge.

Photography

I’ve always had an interest in photography, but I don’t currently have access to a decent camera or high end lenses, flashes, editing software etc.

Large Print Jobs

I don’t have the experience or software to do bigger jobs like posters, magazines, catalogues, banners, signs etc.

Branding

Branding is much more than a logo. I recommend you hire someone who just does design.

Fixing Other People’s Mistakes

I’m happy to make changes to a website that is otherwise working well. And I can try to fix a website that has broken due to some recent change such as a WordPress, plugin or PHP update. If this sounds like what you need, get in touch.

However, if your website has been left in a complete mess by someone else, or was broken from day one, there’s not much I can do. I sympathise with anyone who’s been messed around by a developer or web design company, but imagine being handed a plate of food you didn’t cook, and being told: “this tastes awful, please fix it”
