Web design · Salisbury, Wiltshire
Websites built properly.
I'm a software engineer based in Salisbury. I design and build websites for local businesses, from simple one-page sites and WordPress builds to online shops and custom web applications.
What you need depends on the business, what the website needs to do and what happens after someone lands on it.
Websites
What does yours need to do?
It might just need to explain what you do and make it easy to get in touch. It might need to sell products, manage content or give customers somewhere to log in. That changes how it should be built.
-
Small business websites
Simple, focused websites for local businesses that need a professional presence and a clear way for customers to find them and get in touch.
-
Business websites
Multi-page websites built around your business, your content and what you need visitors to understand or do.
-
Online shops
E-commerce using WooCommerce or Stripe, from a small product range to a larger catalogue with secure online payments.
-
WordPress
WordPress built cleanly so managing pages, products and content afterwards is straightforward.
-
Web applications
For websites that need to do more, including complex forms, customer areas, workflows, dashboards and the systems behind them.
-
SEO & performance
Fast, accessible websites with strong structure and the technical foundations for search built in from the start.
Website Strategy Advisor
Not sure which one you need?
It asks about your business, what the website needs to do and how you want to manage it. From those answers it helps you understand the kind of website you need and which approach is likely to fit.
It's free to use and you don't need to know anything about platforms or web technology to get started.
Local work
A simple website was enough
Moonrakers Judo Club · Salisbury
Moonrakers needed somewhere parents and new members could quickly understand the club, find class information and get in touch.
It didn't need a complicated platform. It needed a clear, fast website that worked well on a phone and was inexpensive to run. That's what I built.

How I build
Start with the website, not the technology
Once I understand what the website needs to achieve, the decisions about platform, structure and technology become much easier.
-
Work out what you need
I start with the business, the people using the website and what you need it to achieve. From there we can work out what the website actually needs.
-
Choose how to build it
WordPress, WooCommerce, a custom build or something else entirely. The platform comes from the requirements rather than the other way around.
-
Build it properly
Performance, accessibility, search and maintainability are part of the build from the start.
-
Make it yours
Your website, content, domain and accounts remain yours. I'll make sure you understand how everything works before I hand it over.
Sometimes there's more to it
What if the website isn't the whole job?
Some projects start as a website and uncover something behind it that also needs solving: a manual process, disconnected systems, customer workflow or an idea for a piece of software that doesn't exist yet.
I build that too. You can see the wider software work on the software page.
Questions
Web design in Salisbury
Where in Salisbury are you based?
I'm based at 110 Milford Hill, Salisbury SP1 2QL. Office hours are Mon – Fri, 9am – 5pm.
What does a website cost?
It depends on what the website needs to do. A focused small-business site is a very different project from an online shop or custom web application. I quote each project individually and agree the price before work starts.
Which platform should my site be built on?
That depends on your content, the features you need and how you want to manage the site afterwards. I work with WordPress and WooCommerce as well as custom web stacks, and I can recommend other platforms when they make more sense for the project.
Can I update the website myself afterwards?
Yes. If managing your own content is important, I'll make that part of the decision about how the site is built and show you how it works before launch.
Do you only work with businesses in Salisbury?
No. I'm based in Salisbury and work with businesses across Wiltshire, Hampshire and remotely across the UK.
Will my website be fast and search friendly?
That's part of the build. I pay attention to performance, semantic HTML, accessibility, page structure and the technical foundations search engines need to understand the site.

Tell me about the website
If you've used the Advisor, send me the result. If you already know what you need, tell me about the business and what you want the website to do. Either is a good place to start.
