A few answers about the websites I build, how I work, and what to expect.
What sort of websites do you build?
I specialise in small, straightforward websites for individuals, community groups and independent businesses. My focus is on clear information, good presentation and websites that work well on different screen sizes.
Do you offer custom website designs?
I work with a small collection of existing designs, personalised with your own text and photographs. This keeps the process straightforward and the costs manageable.
Do you build WordPress websites?
No. I specialise in lightweight websites built using HTML, CSS and JavaScript, without WordPress or other large content management systems.
Can you move or redesign my existing website?
I generally work on new, self-contained websites rather than migrating, redesigning or maintaining existing sites.
Do you build online shops or booking systems?
Not currently. My focus is on small, straightforward websites rather than e-commerce or complex booking applications.
Can I update the website myself?
My usual approach is to build and maintain the website for you, rather than provide a content management system. Content updates can be arranged separately, with the scope and costs agreed in advance.
Can you help with hosting and domain names?
Yes. I can help you choose suitable hosting, register a domain name and get your website online. Your hosting and domain accounts will remain under your ownership and control.
How much does a website cost?
Costs depend on the size of the website and the content involved. I'll provide a clear price and agree on the work before starting. Hosting and future content updates are discussed separately.
What do I need to provide?
Your text, photographs, logo (if you have one), and an outline of what you want the website to achieve. We'll agree on the content before work begins so everything is ready for the chosen design.
Who do you work with?
I'm particularly interested in working with individuals, small businesses, community groups and organisations doing something useful or interesting. I take on projects selectively, where I feel I can make a positive contribution.
What happens if I want to make changes later?
Content updates, such as changing text or photographs, can be arranged separately. New pages, additional features or changes to the agreed design would need to be discussed and priced as separate work.
