I operate an honest & transparent approach when it comes to pricing for all my services. I will provide a scope document prior to starting development that includes everything I will deliver as part of your website design & build. Once this document is agreed, and signed, I will issue an invoice for a 50% deposit. The remaining balance is payable once the scope document has been fulfilled. On final payment the website will go live. You can opt to host your site with me, or on a third support that supports it.
Payments to be made via invoice and direct transfer to either a UK or EURO bank account.

There is no cookie-cutter crap here. No clunky website templates that have been flogged to death time and time again.
I'll design and build your bespoke website, creating a digital space to communicate your incredible brand and story, sell your products and services and be present with your customers.
There are no limitations when it comes to bespoke website design. Whether you need a booking system, support portal, content management system, or eCommerce System with online payments I can help.
I'm a Brighton Web Designer, working with clients from all around the world.
No, my projects are created from a blank canvas (unless you are purchasing one of my pre-built website templates). The reason I work this way is that despite the noise from builder platforms that have recently burst on the scene, it's STILL the best way to create a website with a customer centric user experience, that's tailored to your own brand and business. It allows me to have full control over the design and development of your website ensuring that it's highly optimised for search engines and is accessible to all.
A website can cost anything from £350 upwards; there isn't really a limit or a fixed price as no two websites should ever be the same. There may be other associated costs involved such as Domain Registration, Font Licensing, Photography, Copywriting, SEO, Hosting, and more. When you contact me about your bespoke website design I will discuss your requirements to determine what you need to create the best solution for you. I will then present you with a tailored proposal document containing everything I will do along with the associated investment. It's entirely upfront, and transparent.
If that's what you want, yes. I can build you a content management system allowing you to easily create, update and remove content on your website. If your busy running your business and want your website updates done for you then that's also OK. I offer a selection of maintenance contracts and adhoc one-off change request services.
As my websites are platform independent, you can host them where you want. Currently, 100% of my web design and development clients host their sites with me, and many have done so for over a decade. My managed web hosting platform is fast and reliable and comes with the peace of mind of nightly backups and disaster recovery included as standard.
I understand that small businesses and start-ups may have limited funds and resources, so I offer a selection of pre-built website templates that can be used to create a bespoke website for your business. These templates are designed to be simple, clean and easy to use. They are also fully responsive and will look great on any device.
I'm based in East Sussex, just a few miles from Brighton & Hove, Lewes and Newhaven, but I work remotely with clients from all around the world including Australia, Germany, Spain (inc The Canary Islands) and the U.K.
With the flexibility of monthly maintenance packages or adhoc support tickets, I offer support solutions to suit your business requirements and budgets.
I'm Ian. A web designer and developer based in the Brighton & Hove and Lewes area of East Sussex in the U.K.
I've been designing and creating bespoke websites since 2006 - it feels like a long time, during which I've seen many changes and advances in web design techniques, development languages and of course connectivity and the devices we use to browse the internet .
Whilst the technology may have changed, the basic principles remain the same. I pride myself on paying close attention to the small details that help your website load quickly, and customers are able to find what they want easily. The result is business growth.
On a personal note, I live between Brighton and Lewes in the beautiful South Downs of East Sussex with my Fiancée, dog, and three chickens. I enjoy long walks, summer evenings outside, gardening, playing the acoustic guitar (badly) and developing new skills.
Whether you’re starting a new web project, need help improving an existing site, or just want to explore ideas, I’d love to hear from you.
I'm a UK-based web designer and developer (living in the Brighton & Hove / Lewes area of East Sussex) working with clients around the globe.
