Freelance Web Design Services
Brand-led website design for businesses that need to look sharper online.
I design and build responsive WordPress websites around your audience, your content and the enquiries you want to generate. Structure comes first, then the visual design and build work together as one process.
A good option when
A website that is easier to understand should mean a better experience for you and your visitors
- Your current site does not explain your offer clearlyVisitors are not sure what you do, who it is for, or why they should choose you.
- You need design and WordPress handled by the same person.No handovers, no translation lost between a design file and a build.
- You want a site your team can update.Content, images and pages you can change yourselves, without a developer on call.
- You want one experienced freelancer, not an agency process.Direct contact, clear timelines, no account manager in between.

How the process works
From planning to launch
Plan
We talk through your business, your goals and what the website needs to achieve.
From there, I create a clear sitemap and project scope so everyone understands what is being designed and built. Sitemap, page priorities and messaging agreed before any design starts
Design
Key pages designed and refined with your feedback, in your brand. I can design the website or if you’re looking for build only I can work from files supplied by your designer or agency.
Layouts are based on clear user journeys, responsive behaviour and helping visitors find the information they need.
Develop
Once the designs are agreed, I develop and test the website across different devices and screen sizes.
The WordPress editing experience is also considered carefully, so managing the finished site feels straightforward rather than technical. The approved design developed into a custom WordPress site
Working with me
Design and development handled together
I manage projects from the initial brief through planning, design, development and launch.
Because I work across both design and development, there is no disconnect between how a website is intended to look and how it eventually works. What is approved during the design stage is carried through carefully into the finished build.
I have more than ten years of industry experience, including six years in a senior agency role and previous experience as a Creative Director. I have worked on projects for organisations including CERN, The Guardian, Lexus and Amazon, alongside independent businesses, agencies and growing teams.
That experience helps me manage projects clearly, anticipate potential issues and keep the process moving without unnecessary layers of communication.
Why work with a freelancer?
You work directly with the person designing and developing your website.
There are no account managers, lengthy handovers or separate teams interpreting the same brief differently. This keeps communication clearer, decisions faster and the final result more consistent.
It also gives you flexibility. I can take responsibility for a complete website project, collaborate with your existing designer, or provide development support as part of a larger agency team.
Plan a website that is easier to understand and easier to use
Send over your current website, your goals and the areas that are not working. I can take a look and suggest some ideas.

- Easy to manageA WordPress setup shaped around the content you actually need to update.

FAQs
Web design questions
Do I need all the copy before we start?
No, but the process is smoother when the main messages are taking shape. I can help structure the pages and identify what content is still needed.
Will the website be custom designed?
Yes. The layout and visual system are created around your content and brand, rather than forcing the project into a prebuilt template.
Can you work with my existing branding?
Yes. I can work within an established identity, or recommend a light refresh where the current brand is limiting the website.
How long does a website design and build project take?
Most full projects take six to ten weeks. Timing depends on page count, functionality, feedback turnaround and how ready your content is.
How much does a website design and build cost?
It depends on scope, but most projects fall within a defined range once we have talked through pages, functionality and content needs. Get in touch with a rough idea of what you need and I will give you a realistic figure early on, not after weeks of back and forth.
Can you improve an existing WordPress website?
Yes. This might involve fixing specific issues, creating new sections, improving performance or rebuilding the site on a cleaner foundation.
For larger redesigns, the Website Refreshes and Rebuilds service may be more suitable.
Do you work with agencies?
Yes. I provide white label and freelance WordPress development for agencies that need additional capacity or a dependable development partner.
