About Me, Qualifications & Experience
I'm a self-employed freelance web designer with experience designing for large companies (such as Calor Gas and NFU Mutual) and many smaller companies in different commercial fields.
I’m a fully qualified Graphic Designer with a First Class BA (hons) Degree in Graphic Design and Illustration and am currently based in Somerset, England. I have a deep passion for all things design and I truly enjoy working in the industry. I’ve
designed websites and print work for both local and international clients since 2007.
After a long day I like to unwind with a swift game of Squash, spend time with friends and family or read anything from Thrillers to inspiring Philosophy.
Quick Profile
My Aims for Your Website
I specialise in creating modern, clean and legible websites that look great and appeal to customers.
Websites are so important in this day and age and an old fashioned, poorly designed website can seriously delude a potential customer as to the significance of your business, more still if you have no website at all it could lead a potential customer to question your credibility as a company.
I design websites that not only make customers recognise you as a genuine business, but a compelling business and one that will be only too happy to match the quality of the website (that formed the basis of a customer's decision to enquire) with your quality of service.
My Website Design Services include:
I work with my clients to understand what you want and subsequently use a trained eye to create websites that are at the leading edge of online aesthetics, with functionality to match.
I offer full service website design from concept to completion with free advice on matters such as domains and web hosting along the way.
My First Class Graphic Design education means
that
I
understand the importance and technical requirements of a structured layout where each element is positioned in relationship with all
elements on screen.

The benefits of S.E.O include:
Search Engine Optimisation (or S.E.O) is essential to achieve visibility from the major search engines
(of course Google, also Yahoo! and Bing).
Visibility from the major 3 means visibility for your customers.
My SEO Services call upon technical knowledge of the engines and their search results across various keywords that represent your services.
We can work together to establish these keywords which will form the basis of appeal for the search engines and online searchers (your potential customers).
Increased website hits - from targeted
customers.
No pay per click - if you invest in an SEO
optimised website and build links with other
online contacts pay per click advertising
should
not be
required.
Visibility - New content can be found and
added to search engine results quickly.
Brand benefits - If you are seen more often
then knowledge of your name and respect
for your status is built and emphasised.
My E-commerce Services include:
I build bespoke e-commerce websites that are great for existing companies wishing to increase sales or new businesses that want to set up shop
at a fraction of the cost of opening premises.
My e-commerce websites integrate a safe and secure, industry standard payment gateway in RBS Worldpay - classed as the UK's number one payment gateway.
Confused about what's needed to set up shop online - merchant accounts, payment gateways, SSL certificates? Don't worry, I have personal experience dealing with these elements and offer advice every step of the way.
