Since training in Web Design in 2000, I have worked on a large number of websites, from simple, straightforward information-only pages to complex sites featuring animations, audio/video streaming and so on. But I know what I like when I'm surfing the web. I use the Internet as an information resource and I like to be able to get at what I want with the minimum of fuss. I rate a good website by ease of navigation and clarity of information and to be honest a lot of the "flashy stuff" leaves me cold!

Therefore I offer straightforward websites, such as those I do for local businesses and scientific and conservation organisations, at an affordable price. I design the "look" of the site and when you are happy with that, I then build away using the agreed design as a template. I host your developing site and once you are fully satisfied with it I transfer it over to your public domain.

Pricewise, I charge £175 for the design stage and if you supply me text that needs no editing, it's £20 per page from therein, plus £30/hr editing and resizing images (this rarely takes more than a couple of hours unless you want lots of images or a web gallery). I'll take the images too, if required, at the same hourly rate. I can do all the writing, but please remember that you know your organisation better than I do and it's best (and cheaper) if you tell your own story! I can also advise on domain name availability and hosting options. Part-screengrabs and links to four recently-completed websites of mine are along the bottom of this page, so feel free to check out my work.
