A Safe Pair Of Hands
Over the years I’ve worked on and built hundreds of websites – and I’ve worked on the website of almost every client I’ve ever worked with.
WordPress is my thing, I truly believe it’s the best and most scaleable platform.
I’m absolutely passionate about making sure clients have complete control over their website and are able to manage it completely.
Whether it’s building a new one if you’ve not got one, migrating your website or sprucing it up, you absolutely won’t regret making the change.
What about hosting?
I always advocate my clients have their own hosting platform they pay for, they can login to and completely control.
This might sound scary but I promise you it’s not. I’ll talk you through the whole thing and exactly what it means. It’s essentially just you paying the hosting company directly instead of a middle man.
It means:
- You’re not tied to a single person
- You are in complete control
- You have full visibility
Now I do have some hosted with me, but they’re generally friends and I’ve warned them if I get hit by a bus then they’ll need to get it moved before my hosting account expires haha.
As a general rule though, run it yourself! Siteground* is cheap, good quality and has all sorts of brill features: free SSL, free CDN, free email, they have a great migration tool for email and websites. Plus, if you’re not overly techy, their customer support is brilliant!
Self hosting isn’t always right for everyone, but it’s something I advocate for my clients, we’ll have a chat beforehand to make sure it’s something you’re comfortable with and you fully understand the implications.
So, let’s have a chat
First of all, we’ll have a chat.
We’ll figure out where you’re currently at, what you want from the website both in terms of functionality and design, and how that fits into your overall business.
Together we’ll develop a plan that’s right for you and your business and within your budget.
Let’s make it easy for customers to buy from you!
Let’s figure out where you’re at, what you need and how to best get you there!

That varies depending on your requirements. A simple “brochure” or “portfolio” site will be cheaper than a fully fledged e-commerce shop. If you want a web presence there is usually a solution for every budget so do get in touch.

I only build on WordPress, every web designer will have their preferred way of doing things. WordPress is mine. I like the flexibility, the accessibility, the room for growth and the customisability of it. I find builders like Wix or Shopify very limited in terms of customisation as you are at the mercy of their system. Wix, Shopify and similar have their place in the market and are great for DIY builders, getting yourself a web presence at a very limited cost (although the add ons can soon stack up). I believe you’re better off starting with a system you can grow with, but equally I know that’s not the answer for everyone. It’s absolutely possible for you to DIY on WordPress, there’s just a steeper learning curve due to the level of customisation you can have!
If you’re working with WordPress, you “self host” it, rather than it being connected to the servers of the builder (like Shopify, Wix etc.). The hosting is where the website lives. I prefer Siteground because it’s easy to use, includes CDN, email and SSL, as well as being a solid option for speed and budget. There are lots of different options which will be discussed if you decide to go ahead.
Yes! Some companies offer to build and host for you, or offer to build the website for free if you go with their hosting, I don’t. You are in complete control and you own everything. You will not be tied to me in anyway.
You should think of your website as a living document, it should be updated with new products or information regularly. This makes Google like it and see it as relevant, it’s also more interesting for your customers. Additionally, a WordPress website needs the themes and plugins updating on a regular basis to ensure the security of the website. This isn’t as scary as it sounds, promise! Upon completion of your website I will teach you or I offer maintenance plans if you just want the total hands off approach.
For the most part, the answer is yes. However, we can work together to make that as seamless as possible. I can help you with sourcing images and what type of content is needed. I ask clients to provide it so the website is authentic to them and their brand voice rather than having my voice.
Nope, it’s all me. No agency in sight, you’re stuck with me!
Lots of web designers have packages based on pages, I don’t. All my quotes are bespoke depending on your requirements, so you can have 543 pages if you want, there’s no technical limitations (I wouldn’t recommend it though!)
Generally, yes. If it’s with WordPress, no problem. Sometimes websites have been neglected and it can sometimes be cheaper and quicker to just rebuild from scratch but lots of the time the site can just be bought up to modern standards.
It’s not possible to “transfer” per say but I can rebuild it almost like for like in most cases on WordPress.
We can discuss this when you get in touch, most businesses would benefit from a website but it’s not always right for everyone at that moment in time. Sometimes your funds would be better invested in different aspects of your business and that’s totally fine.
