what I do
I strive to create beautiful websites that make an impact and deliver a return on investment. I like to work hand-in-hand with clients, mostly helping small to medium-sized businesses acquire and retain customers by making user-friendly websites that are attractive and engaging for their users.
All my sites are developed in WordPress, mainly using the Divi theme. Over the last 12 years, I have assembled a tight list of premium plugins and themes that allow for rapid development, ensures sustainability and guarantees ongoing support.
I have a track record of success for clients in achieving increased online traffic and revenue gains after a website design or redesign. Once your new website has launched, I provide post-design services to help you see the value of your investment while you focus on running your business. These services include Search Engine Optimisation, content updates, WordPress core and plugin updates and Pay-Per-Click advertising.

Website questionnaire
Before we begin, take a moment to complete our website questionnaire and tell us as much as you can about what you expect from your website. Once we have a clear idea of what you need we can send you an official quote.
Getting started
I will need a few things before I can begin your new website, this includes; Your logo, hosting details, WordPress logins, images and pictures, content and your style guidance. I have made a detailed list of exactly what I need from you and how you can get this information to me. Read my getting started guide for exact details.
Design Process
The main part of designing a website is in the planning and layout stage of the process. Once I have received your content I will create your Page/Menu hierarchy of the website, then I will design the home page and a subpage (or more upon request) for approval first. Once you have approved the site layout and design I will begin with the design of the rest of your site, the pages, all functionality, and plugins will be in place. I will ensure your site looks great and functions well across all devices and web browsers before moving to the final step. Once the site is ready for final review, you can review each page and I will make the detailed edits. We ask that you please review ALL pages to make sure all spelling, grammar, addresses and information are correct before going live.
Going live
Once you are happy with your new website and the site is ready to go live, all unnecessary plugins, pages, images and backend files will be removed. Your new website will be backed up and saved, should it ever need to be restored. After your website has gone live you have a 30 debugging period in which I will fix any broken or problems you may have missed during the approval process.

Why choose me to develop your site?
I have been working in WordPress for over 10 years and I have worked in the Divi theme for 5 years, besides my experience, I am dedicated, organised, fast and reliable.
I am here to help you, I understand that everyone has a different understanding and level of ability when dealing with websites, I will guide you through every step and teach you as much as you want to learn along the way.
My websites are mobile responsive, clean and neat, and ready for search engines.
I love what I do, especially when you like what I do, I always do my best to create websites that my clients are proud of.
Do I work with agencies?
Can I develop a website based on a design from a designer
Yes, I can but there maybe be limitations depending on the design and budget as some design elements can get costly.
It is generally a good idea to mail me the design and I can let you know if everything is doable and where I see possible issues before we begin any development.
