Need a Professional Website?

The biggest problem most small businesses face when starting up is getting a website built that looks professional enough to represent them.

If you’re looking for a professional, reliable and affordable freelance web designer, look no further than me. I am able to offer a complete package including everything from initial consultation through to hosting and ongoing maintenance.

I specialise in WordPress and Woocommerce but please don’t be put off by the terminology – the end result will be a fit for purpose website. All you need to do is tell me what you want to achieve and I’ll get you there.

What is a freelance web designer?

I’m self-employed, independent.

I still offer the same high-quality service as a design agency. Yet hiring a freelance web designer means I’m your direct contact, from being the designer on board to carrying out development for clients.

So do you need a freelance web designer?

Well if you have ever said:

“I need more customers.”
“No one can find my website on Google.”
“I’ve outgrown my website.”
“I need more than a Facebook page.”

If the above sounds like you, then you’re ready for a serious, Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) friendly website to win you the leads you deserve.

About Me

I’m Simon. I’m a family man, in my mid-30s, I live near York in the UK.

I have a first-class degree in Business Computing and 10 years of real-world experience working in the commercial world (from small start-ups to multinational pharmaceuticals).

When I had children becoming a freelance web designer meant I could re-set my work-life balance.

My background in computing, real-world commercial experience combined with my technical geekiness has served me and my clients well.

Unlike a large digital agency I’m able to keep my client base small so I can get to know them and understand exactly what they need. Increasing your return on investment.

About Me

How much does a freelance web designer charge?

I know what it’s like, you’re scouring the web to get an idea of how much you need to budget for your project, but no one is telling you a price!

That is often because web designers want to scope out how much you are willing to spend before they commit to a price, or they want to get you on the phone so they can convince you to spend even more on your digital solution.

I’m not like that. I’m a Yorkshireman! I know you don’t want to throw money away – so all my prices are listed here.

If you don’t know which option will suit you, that’s fine, I’m happy to chat about it with you – I’ll be honest and I won’t try to sell you something you don’t need!

My affordable web design services build websites from £395 for a simple one-page website, to £2500 for an advanced, bespoke design advanced solution – see all my freelance web designer prices here.

What happens next?

It starts with a chat about you, your type of business and what you want to achieve.

Often clients don’t know what is possible, so asking what they want to achieve gives me a much better understanding than asking what they want me to create.

There are so many different solutions which is why it’s beneficial to hire a freelance web designer who has experience of how they all work. This might sound expensive, but I’m a Yorkshire man, and I understand how important a budget is for a business to succeed.

After our initial chat, I’ll go away and research the costs and options so I can come back to you with a full proposal. This will include pricing details and a rough time schedule as well as an estimated start date.

There is no commitment required for this stage, if you decide not to go ahead, that’s fine, you won’t be pressured into anything – I’m not a salesperson, I’m a freelance web designer!

If you’d like to gather a bit more info before getting in touch, feel free to have a look at my pricing and some examples of websites I have built in the past (I can’t publish a full portfolio due to client confidentiality!).

Digital Strategy

The process:

The first step is for you to get in touch with an outline of your project requirements. This doesn’t need to be anything complex – it could be a goal or concern or problem you have with your current site.

I’ll get back to you, by phone, zoom, email, or in-person (depending upon your preference) to let you know how I can help you with your project, what the price will be, how long it will take, and when I can get started.

If you are happy to accept my proposal, I’ll send you an onboarding questionnaire and take the payment.

From your questionnaire, I will have all the information I need to get started. At each stage of the website build, you will be consulted and tweaks can be made until the stage is signed off by you.

Finally, after I have completed thorough testing and the website is ready, I will schedule a session with you where we go through the entire website making any changes necessary, so it is ready to go live.

How Long will my website take? For simple websites, this can all be done within one week. For more complex eCommerce websites requiring me to wear my front-end developer hat, this could take up to a month.

FAQ

What is WordPress?

This is a Content Management System (CMS) that will be used to build your website. Over a quarter of websites are built in this way. These are alternative website platforms. Only using WordPress allows me to become an expert and focus all my learning on one platform, so my expertise in this field is more in-depth. I have helped many clients transfer over from Wix to WordPress.

Why is WordPress better?

Well, I’m a geek, so I could go on for days about it. But in summary, and my opinion, WordPress is the best platform because it allows the designer control over all aspects which means I can build faster websites that show up higher in Google searches.

What about Woocommerce?

Woocommerce is the eCommerce equivalent of WordPress. Have you heard of Shopify? Well, Woocommerce is an alternative to Shopify. My clients who switch from Shopify to Woocommerce are amazed at the extra functionality and reduced monthly cost they get with a Woocommerce website.

Do you provide web hosting?

Yes. After I build your website I offer web hosting, charged monthly, so your website stays online.

What does a Website Designer do?

The person who understands your requirements draws the prototype and designs the wireframe. I will be the person who builds your website, launches it and maintains it.

What is Focused All Day?

Focused All Day is a creative web design company that delivers results for clients. I pride myself on giving clients what they want and providing solutions on how to achieve this. I work with a range of clients on projects from small, independent freelancers to large organisations. I love working with small companies and watching them grow.

What is your approach?

As a freelancer and not a web agency my working ways are flexible, and I prioritise my customers, meaning I can put you first. If you have a new business, an existing company with a large team, in house designers who need support, my digital knowledge and the service I provide have proven results. To put it simply a passionate, no-nonsense approach.

What is your web design process?

Crafting perfect, beautiful websites starts with listening to your needs and business goals and then moving on to the research and planning stage. It helps determine if your main objective is to: collect more leads, need help raising brand awareness, help with search engine rankings or sell products online. I have skills and expertise in all of these fields and would love to create a custom, bespoke solution tailored to your needs with your audience in mind.

What about your eCommerce process?

E-Commerce websites provide real-time data, statistics and make you money online. My development process creates fully working machines that stand the test of time. I use a wide variety of technologies that allow for a feature such as: adding cart abandonment, easy checkouts, call to action, and customer portals so you can grow your business with ease.

Do you offer responsive web design services?

The website design and development is easy to use, user-friendly and looks fantastic. I understand the power of a website and what it means to a company. That is why I take every single bit of work seriously and aim to satisfy. The software solution I use results in a responsive website looks great on tablet and mobile. It will help promote your business regardless of the platform they are viewing it on.

How do you help small businesses?

I use my design services and web development to build an online presence for your business to get you more work, bookings, increase conversions and sales. I have worked with small businesses based all across the UK and the digital services have been effective in getting results.

Are your web design services affordable?

Yes! Regardless of the package you choose (brochure websites, to a complete digital eCommerce machine), I give every client my full attention and strive to do my best so you get a high-performance website. I aim to deliver results and provide excellent value for money.

I include a website builder and training so you’re self-sufficient without having to learn how to code or having to be invoiced for every small change. Having said that I’m always here to help! I include all my prices throughout my website for transparency.

Transparent Pricing

Transparency and honesty are very important to me. On my website, I provide all my prices not just for the initial web design cost but for the next steps such as hosting, website maintenance, ad-hoc hours and help with search engines (SEO) to help reach more potential customers.

You should know the rate card and full range of web design prices before engaging in the next step so you can make an informed decision. Besides a dedicated page, I included a full breakdown showing what is included on each service page.

I’ve designed my services page to walk you through which digital marketing services you might need and at what point. I even point out what is optional and try to give advice and examples of when and why you will need a certain service. I’m here to help you! If you were after something, for example, graphic design York, graphic designer or if you want to buy a logo I can help. I’m always happy to have a free consultation before you make the purchase.
