Freelance WordPress design and development
I’m passionate about building effective and engaging websites. I focus on crafting a strong online presence for the businesses I work with, combining great design with high-quality development to bring your vision to life.
End-to-end WordPress design and development
Seamless
Comprehensive WordPress design & development
I handle both the design and development of your website. This creates a seamless process from initial idea to final launch, ensuring a consistent vision and efficient progress. You’ll be involved at every key stage, ensuring the final site truly reflects your business needs.
Unique
Tailored solutions, not templates
Every site is designed and developed from scratch to suit your specific goals, audience, and identity. This means creating unique, bespoke WordPress designs that help your business stand out and grow online.
How your website takes shape
Foundations
Discovery: understanding your goals
Every successful website begins with a thorough understanding of your unique requirements and target audience. We’ll discuss your objectives and your users’ needs to establish a clear foundation for your project.
Visualise
Crafting the visuals: wireframing & design
Before any code is written, detailed wireframes and visual designs are created that bring your ideas to life. These designs include interactive prototypes, allowing you to click through and experience your site’s flow and layout. This provides a clear preview of its functionality and aesthetics, ensuring you’re happy with the direction before development begins.
Construct
Building your site
With the design approved, the visuals are transformed into a fully functional WordPress website. You’ll gain access to a private test site, allowing you to see the real thing take shape and refine elements that are best viewed in a live environment. The focus is on clean, efficient code and dependable development practices to ensure your site is secure, stable, and ready to perform.
Launch & beyond
Optimise
Built-in performance, SEO, and accessibility
Your website will not only look great but also perform exceptionally. I meticulously optimize every site for speed, search engine visibility, and accessibility, ensuring it reaches and engages your audience effectively.
Manage
Your custom theme and easy editing
I develop bespoke WordPress themes specifically tailored to your design, ensuring unique functionality and optimal performance. You’ll find it incredibly easy to manage and update your website’s content, effortlessly maintaining design integrity.
Evolve
Ongoing support and maintenance options
My commitment extends beyond launch, offering optional, flexible support and maintenance options to keep your website secure, updated, and performing optimally. This is ideal if you wish to continually evolve your digital presence or build upon your site over time. My aim is to build lasting relationships, supporting your business as it grows.

FAQs

Absolutely. If you have an existing WordPress site, I can help you redesign or improve it. We’ll start with a review to understand what you’re looking for and how we can best meet your goals.
Do you provide SEO setup or optimisation?
Yes, built-in SEO optimisation is a key part of how I build websites. This means I’ll handle the technical setup, structure your site correctly, and make sure it’s set up to be found by your ideal audience.
Will my website be mobile-friendly and fast?
Yes, every website I create is fully responsive, meaning it looks and works beautifully on any device. I also meticulously optimise each site for speed and performance.
What’s your typical turnaround time for a website?
The timeline can vary depending on your project’s complexity, but most custom WordPress website projects typically take around 5-8 weeks from initial chat to launch.

Can you create a visual identity or logo from scratch?
Yes, I love helping businesses establish their unique look including brand identity and logo.

Do you design business cards, brochures or other print materials?
Yes, I also design a range of print and digital marketing materials. Just reach out, and we can discuss your specific needs. I can share relevant examples from my print design portfolio too.
