Web Design & Development

Over the years I’ve designed and built numerous websites for local Shropshire businesses and international brands alike. These are some of my favourites:

Legal Sector Websites

I offer professional legal web design that inspires trust, authority and conversion. Backed by a deep understanding of the unique demands of the legal sector:

Why Hire Me

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

I have 13 years commercial experience as a web designer and creative developer. In March 2020, after 5 years at a Shrewsbury web design agency, I left to go solo as a freelance WordPress developer.

All the websites I build are…

Fast

Slow websites are annoying. I build websites that are noticeably faster than your competition. This website scores 100/100 on Google PageSpeed.

Structured for SEO/AEO

A fast, responsive website with proper semantic markup/schema is the best way to avoid search engine ranking pitfalls and ensure your site is readable by AI.

Easy to maintain

The popular Advanced Custom Fields plugin lets me create custom content layouts that are easy for you to update.

Supported

I can recommend affordable, fast and reliable hosting for your website. I also offer monthly maintenance/security packages.

Responsive

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

Accessible

My web designs feature clear, readable text, and screen reader friendly code.

But most of all, they are…

Unique.

What I Also Do

Contracting — 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.

WooCommerce

I can integrate WooCommerce into your new or existing WordPress website. WooCommerce is an ecommerce plugin for WordPress suitable for small/medium sized businesses in Shropshire looking to sell products online.

Shopify

I have made basic edits to Shopify themes before.

(Hint: the answer is on this page)

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 :))

What I Don’t Do

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.

Branding

I have made a few logos in my time, but branding is much more than a logo. I recommend you hire someone who just does design.

Large Print Jobs

I don’t have the time or software to do things like magazines, catalogues, banners, signs etc.

Professional Photography

While I do pursue photography as a hobby, I don’t have access to expensive gear.

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, please get in touch. But…

If your website has been left in a complete mess by someone else and was broken from day one, you’re usually better off starting from scratch. It’s like trying to fix a plate of bad-tasting food that you didn’t cook.
