Freelance Web Designer

Every project begins with listening. This initial phase is all about getting under the skin of your business. We’ll explore what you do, who your audience is, your goals, challenges, and how you’d like your website to perform. This isn’t a form-filling exercise, it’s a conversation. We ask the right questions to uncover what really matters. Whether it’s a single-page site or a multi-language platform, the aim is the same: to understand your needs and build a solution that fits. We also gather any assets you may already have, logos, brand guidelines, existing content, to help us hit the ground running.

Once we know where we’re going, it’s time to plan how we’ll get there. Planning is where strategy meets structure. We’ll map out your sitemap, decide on the flow between pages, and ensure the navigation makes sense from the user’s perspective. At this point, we often sketch wireframes — visual blueprints that show how information will be laid out. This gives everyone a clear picture of what goes where before any pixels are pushed. It’s like an architect’s drawing before construction begins. With thoughtful planning, we reduce surprises later and make the build smoother and more efficient.

Design is about more than good looks — it’s about building trust, guiding the eye, and creating an experience that feels right. We design your website to reflect your brand, connect with your audience, and encourage the right actions. Expect layouts that are easy to navigate, fonts that are readable, and visuals that are purposeful. We’ll provide mock-ups so you can see exactly what your site will look like before we build. And yes, you’ll get the chance to give feedback and request tweaks — we want you to feel confident and proud of how it represents you.

Content is the fuel that powers your site. It informs, persuades, and ranks in search engines — if it’s done right. During this phase, we’ll work with you to refine your message and create new content if needed. From headlines that grab attention to product descriptions and CTAs that convert, everything will be crafted with your voice, tone, and goals in mind. We’ll also structure your content in a way that makes it scannable and accessible. This includes using clear headings, meaningful link text, and alt tags for images — helping not just users, but also search engines.

This is where the magic happens behind the scenes. We take the approved designs and build your site using clean, secure, and efficient code. Whether you’re using WordPress or another CMS, we ensure that everything works exactly as intended — responsive layouts, fast loading times, and no bloated code. We also pay attention to accessibility, making sure your website is usable for everyone, regardless of device or ability. Where needed, we integrate third-party services, add custom features, or optimise for future scalability. We don’t just build for today — we build for where you’re headed.

Before your site goes live, we test everything — and we mean everything. Every button, form, link, and page gets reviewed across different devices and browsers. We check for speed, accessibility, broken links, and more. Mobile, tablet, desktop — it needs to work everywhere. Only once we’re confident in its performance do we launch. But this isn’t just pressing a button — we handle the deployment, domain setup, SSL configuration, and final polish to ensure your launch is smooth and stress-free. Think of this as your digital ribbon-cutting ceremony.

Just like a car, websites need regular maintenance to stay secure, fast, and up-to-date. Our support plans take the pressure off you — we’ll handle plugin updates, backups, performance tuning, and security checks. Whether you need a quick fix, a content update, or just peace of mind, we’re here to help. If you choose one of our maintenance plans, we also include support time for technical assistance or small edits. You won’t be left in the dark — you’ll have access to real support from someone who actually knows your site inside out.
