Web Design
Bespoke web design and development from a single experienced freelancer. I handle both sides, from the initial concept through to a fully built, live website. No handoffs, no miscommunication, no compromises between design and development.
Web design and development from one experienced freelancer
Most web design projects involve at least two people: a designer and a developer. That means handoffs, compromises and things getting lost in translation. When I design and build your site, what you see in the concept is what you get in the final build.
I've been designing and building websites for over 15 years. I understand layout, typography, colour and user experience, and I also write the code that brings it all to life. That means design decisions are always grounded in what's technically possible, performant and accessible.
Every site I design is built with purpose. It needs to look good, but it also needs to load fast, work well on every device, be easy for your team to update and help your business achieve whatever it's trying to achieve. Form and function together.
Design and build in one
No handoffs between a designer and a developer. I do both, so the final site matches the design exactly.15+ years experience

Bespoke websites designed around your business, your audience and what you're trying to achieve.
Business Websites
Bespoke brochure sites and corporate websites designed to represent your business properly and convert visitors into enquiries. Clean layouts, clear messaging and a professional finish.
E-Commerce & Online Stores
WooCommerce and Shopify stores designed around your products and your customers. From product page layouts to checkout flows, every detail is considered to help people buy with confidence.
Landing Pages & Campaigns
Focused, single-purpose pages designed to convert. Whether it's a product launch, a lead generation campaign or an event, I'll design something that gets results.
Redesigns & Rebuilds
If your current site looks dated or isn't performing, I can redesign it from the ground up while preserving your content, SEO value and anything that's already working well.
Responsive & Mobile Design
Every site I design works properly across all screen sizes. Not a scaled-down afterthought, but a genuinely considered experience on mobile, tablet and desktop.
Creative & Interactive Experiences
Animations, scroll effects, 3D elements, interactive tools and creative visual experiences for projects that need to stand out and make an impression.
Freelance Web Designer & Developer
Experienced web design and development
I'm Adam, a freelance web designer and developer based on the south coast of the UK. I've been designing and building websites for over fifteen years, and handling both disciplines means I can deliver a cohesive result without the usual friction between design and development.
I also offer ongoing maintenance, SEO and performance work and emergency support, so your site is looked after properly once it's live.
How a web design project works with me
A clear process from first conversation through to a finished, live website.
Discovery
We talk through your business, your audience, what you want the site to achieve and any specific requirements. I'll look at your existing site (if you have one), your competitors and your industry to make sure the design is grounded in context.
Design
I create design concepts for key pages so you can see the look, feel and layout before any code is written. We refine together until you're happy, then I move into development with a clear, approved direction.
Build
I build on a staging environment so you can see progress, test on your own devices and give feedback as things take shape. The design is translated into clean, fast, accessible code that works on every screen size.
Launch & support
A thorough pre-launch checklist, careful deployment and I don't disappear afterwards. If you want ongoing maintenance, I offer that too.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a bespoke website cost?
A straightforward business website starts from around £2,000. More complex sites with e-commerce, custom functionality or extensive content architecture will be more. I always provide a detailed, fixed quote before any work begins so there are no surprises.
How long does a web design project take?
A typical business website takes four to eight weeks from first conversation to launch, depending on complexity and how quickly content and feedback are provided. I'll give you a realistic timeline during the planning stage.
What platform do you build on?
Most of my sites are built on WordPress, which gives you full ownership and flexibility. For e-commerce, I also work with Shopify. For simpler projects, I sometimes build on custom static foundations. I'll recommend the best platform for your specific situation.
Can I update the site myself after it's built?
Yes. I set up a content management system that's intuitive for your team, provide documentation and walk you through everything. You'll be able to update text, images and pages confidently without needing a developer for day-to-day changes.
Will my site be mobile-friendly?
Yes. Every site I design is fully responsive and tested across devices. Mobile isn't an afterthought; it's part of the design process from the start.
Do you handle SEO?
Every site I build includes solid technical SEO foundations: clean markup, proper heading structure, fast load times, structured data and mobile optimisation. For more in-depth SEO work, I also offer dedicated SEO and performance services.
Can you redesign my existing website?
Yes. I regularly redesign and rebuild sites that have outgrown their original setup. I'll preserve your existing content and SEO value while giving you a fresh, modern design on a cleaner foundation.
Do you offer ongoing support after launch?
Yes. I offer monthly maintenance plans covering updates, security monitoring, backups, performance checks and priority support. I also don't disappear after a project launches; if something comes up, I'm here to help.
I already have a design. Can you just build it?
Yes. If you have designs from a designer or agency, I'm happy to build from those. I work from Figma, Sketch, Adobe XD or even well-documented PDFs. I'll flag any potential issues during the build and make sure the final result matches the design faithfully.
