Frequently Asked Questions
Hiring a freelance web designer is usually cheaper than going to an agency. They generally have less overheads so don't have to charge as much. Also, working with a Freelance web designer usually means you have a single point of contact, so you won't be poassed from person to person. For me, this allows me to really understand you and what you need. Not to mention, freelancers are usually more responsive and have faster turn around times.
I mostly offer freelance web design services and search engine optimisation services. This is quite a broad category though, so listing all the services I offer can be difficult. I can help with new web site builds, updating existing sites, optimising websites for search engines, running full SEO audits and so much more.
That depends. All freelance web designers charge slightly differently. I personally charge on a per-project basis. With web design porjects usually starting at around £1,500. The price goes up from there and is tied to the complexity, size and timescales for the project.
For my other services, I still charge on a per-project basis. SEO Audits for example usually start at around £900, but again, this depends on the size of the website being audited.
I almost exclusively use WordPress as a CMS and build custom themes and templates to go on top. This allows you to benefit from the full power of WordPress while still having something bespoke to you. The themes I build for WordPress use a combination of HTML, CSS, JavaScript, PHP and other coding languages.
As a rule, I try to stay away from drag and drop builders like Wix, Squarespace and Webflow. While powerful (and they certainly have their place), I find them too restrictive. There's also the danger of losing your site if the company you built it with disappears. I'm a big fan of truly owning what you build.
Every website is different. So giving an accurate timescale is difficult. Typically a web designer project can take anything from 4 to 12 weeks, with eCommerce sites potentially taking longer. Again, more complex and larger builds may take longer still. SEO Audits take a minimum of 4 weeks. If you'd like a more detailed idea of how long a project might take, please reach out and let's chat.
Yes! I've worked with companies and individuals from all over the world. Including Australia, America, Singapore, Finland, France, and more. So whereever you are, I'm open to working with you.
Not directly. But I have partnered with a really great web host and am able to negotiate exclusive offers and discounts on your behalf. So we can either work with them, or with whichever host you prefer.
Sure. Buying WordPress themes can be a great way to get a web site off the ground. As a freelance web designer, I've come across many and have experience with the most popular themes and page builders. Although, if you're looking for something truly unique to you and SEO optimised, I'd always recommend we build something from scratch.
Yes. But. It depends on what you need help with and how your site was built. For web design changes and site updates, I can only usually help if your site is built using WordPress or standard HTML / CSS. For SEO services, I can offer more broad help and am able to work with other platforms like Wix, Squarespace, Webflow or Magento.
