WEB DESIGN & DEVELOPMENT SERVICES
Everything your business needs to thrive online.
01
Bespoke Website Design
A website begins as an idea, shaped by your vision. It’s quietly refined, with care, until it feels right. Each one is made for you, and only you.
02
Website Development
Building platforms that solve problems and improve workflows, whether that’s a reservations calendar, an online support desk, or a way to help manage and record working hours.
03
Custom WordPress Sites
Some projects suit WordPress. I design and build the theme from a blank canvas, shaped around your content rather than squeezed into someone else’s. You get a site that’s simple to update yourself, built with the same care as everything I create.
04
WordPress Plugin Development
Off-the-shelf plugins rarely fit a brief perfectly. I design and build plugins around the way you work, whether that’s bespoke editor blocks, a tailored booking flow, or functionality that ties your site into the systems you already rely on.
05
Care & Support Packages
Launch day is just the beginning. My care packages help keep your site up to date, focusing on software updates, security, content, backups and steady attention to performance, whatever your site is built on.
Don’t take my word for it……

About
Hi, I’m Ian.
Your Web Designer & Developer
For two decades, I’ve been designing websites, shaping ideas, and building online systems, combining Web design, Development, UX/UI, and SEO to help brands stand out online. Every project is a chance to turn vague ideas into something sharp, stylish, and effective. Born in Staffordshire, seasoned by nine years on Lanzarote and now calling Brighton & Hove home.
Away from the screen, life is intentionally simple. I’m usually out on an early morning run or walking the dog across the South Downs. At weekends I relax by tending the garden and slowly improving on my acoustic guitar. And when it’s time to get away, my favourite destinations are Italy and the Greek Islands.
Friends
The people I trust.
A website is often just the beginning. What follows is a quieter, more contemplative journey where ideas find their true home and meaning. When a project needs more than design or code, these are the trusted people I rely on.
Every person here has earned my trust through years of collaboration, sharing the same dedication to excellence that I hold myself to.
Alex Sass
Digital Strategy
Three decades in digital, distilled into one sharp mind. Alex doesn’t do surface-level advice. He carefully unpicks how your business is perceived, why customers hesitate, and what needs to change so they don’t. It’s all about Strategy, Positioning, and Conversion Optimisation for companies that are serious about growth.
LANZAROTE WEB DESIGN
Web design for Lanzarote businesses.
Having spent nearly nine years immersed in Lanzarote’s business landscape, I developed a deep understanding of what resonates with a holiday destination audience, refining processes and design aesthetics through first-hand experience rather than assumption.
That knowledge now shapes websites that drive rental bookings, capture the magic of destination weddings, showcase music venues and bars, and deliver compliant workforce management solutions.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Questions & Answers
How much does a website cost?
Every project is different, so there’s no fixed price. A basic website starts from £1,250. I’ll present a clear, tailored proposal that outlines exactly what I’ll deliver and the investment involved, ensuring no ambiguity and no surprises.
Do you use templates?
Never. Every project begins with a blank canvas. Hand-coding gives me complete control over design, performance, and search optimisation, resulting in something that’s genuinely yours and not a variation of someone else’s.
Can I update the website myself?
Yes, and you won’t need to be technical to do it. I can either build a custom content management system that fit the way you already work, or build your site on Wordpress.
Do you offer ongoing support?
Every project includes 14 days of complimentary support from launch giving you time to settle in, ask questions, and make sure everything feels right. Beyond that, I offer ongoing care plans or simple one-off support tickets. Either way, you’re never left without someone to call on.
I have a problem with my existing WordPress installation. Can you help?
Absolutely. I’ve spent many, many hours fixing poorly constructed WordPress installations – not only getting the sites to work as they should be giving them a boost in performance as well.
Do you provide Web Hosting?
My websites are platform-independent which makes them truly yours. You don’t have to host with me, but I do offer a managed hosting package priced at just £325/year (£0.89per day). This includes nightly backups and disaster recovery as standard giving you one less thing to think about. You can also get hosting bundled into your monthly retainer if you’d rather pay that way.
