I focus on the details of design that make the difference.
I believe in good typography, scale, hierarchy and fluid design that works beautifully across devices without sacrificing usability or performance.
I have experience working on many projects, from one-page websites to large-design systems. I’ve worked as a freelancer for small companies and larger SMEs. I offer a service that’s been refined over the years to become efficient and high-quality and guarantees delivery on time and within budget.
Professional Websites
Website design projects I can manage:
Mobile-First Web Design
With mobile often dominating user statistics, websites have to work as well on mobiles as on desktops. When working with me, you'll get a process that focuses on mobile design from the core to ensure good usability, performance and practice to deliver the highest quality user experiences.
Fluid Web Design
The web is a fluid canvas. We use devices such as iPhones, Android, iPads and large-size desktop screens. We often design within software such as Figma or Sketch, but these provide a static width canvas, opposite to the web's nature. Of course, designs can often have several breakpoints with previews, but there are so many different device sizes and scales that the design needs to become 'fluid'.
I have years of experience delivering fluid designs that work beautifully across devices, so you're in safe hands!
Full-Stack Service
I can offer a wide range of services across the web design spectrum. I have years of experience working in both design and development, which gives me the knowledge to understand the context behind the design, ensuring sound web principles are adhered to, and designing with performance, accessibility and usability in mind.
I tailor all my services to my client's needs, so if you're looking for a high-quality fluid design system, I can deliver this. I can offer everything you need if you're looking for a design and development service. You have to deal with one person - me!
You might be wondering....
What does it cost?
All freelance web designers will charge for projects slightly differently. I charge on a per project basis, so I would ask you to send me a brief outlining your requirements. That way I can see if we’ll be a good fit and if I believe I have the skills needed to bring your project to life. I can say that my prices for bespoke design & development typically start at around the $2,500+ figure.

Why hire a Freelance Web Designer than an agency?
Hiring a freelance web designer is often cheaper than going to an agency because they have less overheads.
They are also usually more responsive as the client will always have direct contact with the freelance at all times.
A Freelance Web Designer will usually specialise in a few different skillsets and can help you build whatever you are looking for from small brochure sites to full eCommerce builds.
How ill I manage the website once the project is completed?
Worry free maintenance Packages from $99
Keeping your WordPress installation secure is a time-consuming task, I give you your time back by doing all the hard work for you. Messing about with backups, updates and security are all about to become a thing of the past. I take daily backups of all your website’s files and database to a secure off-site location so even if the worst was to happen peace of mind is only 1 click away.
With my maintenance packages, your website is scanned every single day for security issues before they become a problem and with uptime monitoring your site every 5 minutes I’ll be notified almost instantly if your website goes down so I can help you get back online quickly.
If you’d like to know more about my maintenance packages, please get in touch
How long will my website take?
Every Web Design Project will be broken down into various parts with a typical brochure site taking around 6 – 8 weeks from start to finish. A more complicated build or something eCommere based could be anywhere from 8 – 20 weeks depending on the size and how complex it is. For a rough breakdown of an average timeline pl ease see the below table:
Research & Initial Meetings Week 1
Concept / Design stage Weeks 2 – 4
Development Stage Weeks 4 – 5
Testing / QA Stage Weeks 6 – 7
Launch Weeks 8
What do I need to get started?
For the best possible start to your project it’s always best that you have everything you need to hit the ground running. It’s not a deal breaker if you don’t have these ready it can just make things take slightly longer.
Branding – I’ll ask you to supply any brand guidelines you have before we begin. If you dont have any that’s not a problem, simply supplying your logo in an SVG format will suffice.
Photography – If you have an image library I’ll ask to access to this, again if you don’t have this we can look at sourcing images for you from stock libraries like Shutterstock or Unsplash.
Content If you have already planned out your content with sitemaps and corresponding documents outlining all the content that goes on each page, fantastic! If not, I will ask for a rough content plan so we know what needs to go on each page and then we can fill the pages with placeholder ‘lorem ipsum’ until you have written the content.
I already have a web developer, can you do web design only?
Yes. I can supply your developers with full hand over documentation using InVision and design the vast majority of my sites using Sketch or Figma. This means that your developers will be able to export all the assets they require in an SVG format which means the site will look crisp across multiple devices / screens.
I've got an existing site and I would like to make a few edits can you help?
Unfortunately, I don’t work on fixing existing websites. This is because every project is unique and requires a bespoke approach to achieve the best possible results. Creating a new website from scratch will allow me to take into account your brand, business and target audience, resulting in a site that not only looks good but also functions perfectly for you and your visitors. If you’re interested in working on a complete revamp of your site, get in touch today for a free consultation. We can discuss your project in more detail, outline a proposal and provide you with an estimate of costs.
