A freelance web designer for London businesses, without the agency in the middle
London agencies are good at pitching and expensive at delivering. A freelance designer who also builds the site gives you the same standard of work with fewer people between you and the result.
What you get when the designer is also the person you speak to
The usual agency chain is an account manager, a designer, a developer and a project manager. Each hand-off loses detail. Here there is one person.
Design and build together
The person who designs the page is the person who builds it, so what you approve is what goes live.
Brand work included where needed
Logo, colour, type and guidelines, so that your website and your brand agree with each other from day one.
Fees that go into the work
No office, no account management layer, no pitch team to pay for. The budget goes into the design and the build.
A long-term relationship
Updates and changes after launch come from the person who made the site, not a support queue.
The London agency route vs. a freelancer who does the whole job
The common approach
- A pitch team that vanishes once the contract is signed
- Briefs relayed through an account manager
- A fee that includes the overheads of a central London office
- A site handed over to a support desk
How I do it
- The person you meet is the person who does the work
- You brief the designer directly and get answers directly
- Fees spent on design and build
- Ongoing support from the person who built it
FAQ
Do you work with London businesses?
Yes. I am based in Hertfordshire, close to London. I can meet in person where it helps, and run most of the project over calls and shared screens.
Can a freelancer handle a large project?
Yes, if the scope is clear. I tell you early if a project needs more people than one, and I am straight about that rather than overpromising.
Do you design logos and brand identity too?
Yes. I work on brand identity, logos, rebranding and naming alongside websites, so a project does not need two suppliers.
How is the price set?
I scope the work first, then give a clear price. You will know what is included, what is not and what a change would cost before work starts.

One email or a fifteen-minute call. I read and reply to every one myself.
