Bespoke WordPress Web Design

A website needs to do more than look good. It needs to make sense to the people you want to reach, help them find what they need and support what the business is trying to achieve. That means looking beyond the pages themselves: the message, the information people need, the way they move through the site and, where it matters, how they find it in search.

Case Studies

The Piscatorial Society

One website for audiences with very different priorities

People / Understanding your audience / Websites

Why first impressions matter in website design

Visitors can form an impression of a website in just 50 milliseconds. That first reaction can influence how they judge its usability, credibility and the business behind it.

Building websites since 2001

I’ve been designing and building websites for more than 25 years, and working with WordPress since 2011.

My background is in graphic design and web development, but I’ve always been fascinated by how people think and communicate. Over the years, that has become a big part of the way I work.

For me, the website isn’t really the starting point. The people using it are. Understanding what they’re looking for, what matters to them and what might be getting in their way makes decisions about content, structure and design much clearer.

Working locally

Many of my clients are based in Kingston upon Thames, Surbiton and the surrounding area. I’ve worked with local businesses for many years, and some of my earliest clients are still with me today. As their businesses have grown and changed, I’ve continued helping their websites evolve. Being local also means we can meet in person when that’s useful.
