Building Websites, Custom Applications, and Brand Image.
Designing, Developing & Maintaining Websites
I design, develop and maintain website from the ground up; I have multiple certifications in Responsive Web Development, UI/UX Design and over two years experience.
My websites always incude:
Mobile First Approach
Mobile visitors make up to 85% of total visitors to a website; therefore, a design that is responsive and focused on these users is more likely to get positive feedback, increase engagement, and create conversions.
Solid Visual Heirarchy
The visual hierarchy between elements keeps order on the page and lets you know what is important and what is secondary. A page without a solid hierarchy is overwhelming and confusing, which will increase its bounce rate.
Custom CSS Animations
Animations can make a page more visually appealing and direct the eye to an important element. I create my animations using CSS, as it is less resource-intensive than using pre-built JS libraries. This keeps the page speed time low.
Adhering to Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG)
Accessibility is important to me and all my websites adhere to the WCAG guidelines on colour contrast. The majority of websites do not adhere to these rules and therefore; increase their bounce rate for users with visual impairment.
SEO Optimised Content
All of my pages follow SEO best practices, such as creating alternative text for images, creating appropriate child pages and categories, using meta descriptions, and ensuring enough internal and external links are present. Paired with good marketing, my content will rank you higher on search engines.
Pixel Perfect Designs
My designs follow rigorous and thought-out spacing and alignment rules. I use the 8pt system to ensure all my elements are spaced out in fractions of the text width, creating designs that 'just look right'. My elements always follow a grid system, creating a cohesive page.
Digital Web Solutions
As well as building websites, I also provide digital web solutions that allow you to focus energy on other aspects of your business; from managing your socials to creating newsletter templates, I provide finite and recurring tasks.
Social Media Templates
Are you struggling to maintain a professional-looking brand image online? Don't have enough time to create new designs for each post? I create social media templates for you to use.
Business Card Design
Want to reach more customers or receive reviews easily, I create slick business card designs that incorporate QR codes to scan. This increases your conversion rate as your services are only a scan away.
Mail List Integrations
Want to create a booking system or other custom function but already use a popular mailing application? I can integrate the two so that your new customers are added to your current mailing list.
Creating Custom Web Applications
Want to add functionality to your website? Whether you want a booking system, an online shop, or an interactive quote estimator. I can develop and create it within any WordPress website.
Redesigning Logo
Want to simplify your logo? I can redesign it to follow the industry's best practices to maximise engagement potential. I use A.I as a starting point to visualise the new ideas, after which we will discuss how to improve on the design.
Business Emails
Do you want to use a professional email tied to your online domain? I can help set one up and show you how to use it on your phone.
Website Pricing
A website's design, development and maintenance can be costly if trying to create a complex site with a drag-and-drop website builder. I solve this issue by making my sites using an open-source content management system (CMS) called WordPress; all the sites I build from the ground up are using this CMS as it is cost-effective and, with the proper knowledge, allows complex sites to be built. I only charge the start-up costs (hosting and domain) and any renewal costs (plugins), which will be factored into the monthly maintenance fee.
Design & Development
One upfront cost can cover the design, development, and hand-off of a website. If this is too much to spend in one transaction, we can split the cost over three months. This upfront cost starts at £300 and increases depending on the complexity of the site required.
From £300 Upfront Cost
Maintenance
If you want me to maintain your website, this would include keeping the plugins updated, ensuring updated plugins do not break the site, renewing the premium plugins, and adding/making minor adjustments to the site's content. Then, I charge a recurring monthly fee.
From £25 / Month
Digital Web Solutions Pricing
I provide digital web solutions for a range of problems, whether creating business card designs or creating a new booking system to increase your sales.
Finite Tasks
Paying by the hour is recommended if you have a problem that can be solved through a discrete number of tasks. These tasks could be creating a booking system or a professional email address.
£20 / Hour
Recurring Tasks
If you want a task completed indefinitely, such as posting content to social media or managing your online shop, a recurring monthly fee would be recommended.
