Support

On a monthly plan, changes carry on every month. On a Wix build, 30 days of fixes and tweaks, then ask about ongoing support.

Brand identity

Branding, handled inside the build

Logo, colours, fonts and the files you need for print and social, designed alongside the site so the two look like they belong together.

New businesses

Identity created alongside the site, scoped into one fixed quote.

Established brands

I design to your existing guidelines, included as standard.

Refreshes

Logo and site updated together as one project, so nothing looks bolted on.

Online stores

Ecommerce, built to actually sell

Selling online is a build decision, not a plugin bolted onto a brochure site. Checkout, payments, tax, shipping and stock run on infrastructure built for it, not stitched-together add-ons. What I design is everything the customer sees: product pages, a smooth checkout, and a catalogue that stays easy to manage.

Product pages that sell

Built around your actual products, not a generic template with your images dropped in.

Checkout without friction

Card, wallet and buy-now-pay-later options, and a checkout with nothing unnecessary standing in the way.

Orders you can see

On a monthly plan, your report compares bookings or orders taken through the site with last month.

Bookings and ecommerce sites are from £150 a month on a monthly plan (12-month minimum), or from £1,000 bought outright on Wix, on the £200/year Wix Core plan that ecommerce needs. Card fees are paid by you, to the payment provider.

After launch

What happens after your site goes live

On a monthly plan I host and look after the site, and changes carry on every month: send a message and it is done. On a Wix build, you get the logins, domain and site in accounts registered to you, plus 30 days of fixes and tweaks.

Either way, I connect Google's free tools so you can see how many people find you, and tell Google the site is live so it starts showing up straight away.

SEO

Set up to be found on Google, from day one

Every site I build is fast, clearly structured and set up so Google understands your business, at no extra cost. The monthly plans go further, with Standard SEO kept up every month, or Performance SEO for busier markets, which adds the work that gets you mentioned in AI answers too; on a Wix build, Advanced SEO is a one-off from £300. See SEO, AEO & GEO for what each level includes.

Every plan, price and term is on the pricing page.

Building for a particular town or trade? Start with every Kent town I cover, from Gillingham to Maidstone, or websites built around your trade, such as roofers and solicitors. The week-by-week is on how I work.

Accessible web design

Accessibility, built in from the start

Some customers use a keyboard, a screen reader or a magnified display, and a site built only for a mouse turns them away. What standard I build to and how it gets tested are in the FAQ below.

Built in, not bolted on

Contrast, keyboard operation and touch target sizing live in the design system every site is built from, not a pass I do at the end.

Checked before launch

Every site is tested against WCAG 2.1 AA before it goes live, not just an automated scan I did once.

Good for people, good for Google

A site that is easy for everyone to use is also easier for Google to read, so the same work helps you get found.

See it in practice: this site's own accessibility statement covers exactly what I test and what I found.

The decision

Template or custom build?

Both are legitimate. A template launches in days if you build it yourself; a custom build can be live in as little as two weeks, from £800 outright or £100 a month on a 12-month plan. Which is right depends on how competitive your market is.

Why a Wix Legend Partner

Wix builds from a Legend Partner

Legend is the top of the four levels in Wix's own partner programme, reached by launching client sites on paid Wix plans and holding Wix certifications. Hire a generalist agency that "also does Wix" and you get someone learning the platform on your project; hire a Legend Partner and you get someone who has already solved the problem you are about to hit.

Wix Velo development

Custom forms, logic and integrations built into your site using Wix's own code layer, when off-the-shelf features are not enough. For a genuinely separate application, see Custom Solutions.

Migrations onto Wix

Moving from WordPress, Squarespace or an old Wix Editor site onto Wix Studio, without losing your content, SEO or rankings.

Beyond the template library

A lot of what looks like "custom Wix design" online is a template with new colours dropped in. Every build here starts from a blank canvas.

The decision

Wix Studio or WordPress?

My outright builds are on Wix, so read this knowing that. It still says where WordPress wins, because sending someone to the wrong platform costs more than the job is worth. Three things go to WordPress below.

Wix Studio
WordPress
Running cost
One subscription covers hosting, security and updates
Hosting, plus plugin licences, plus someone keeping it patched
Unusual functionality
Velo covers a lot, but there are ceilings you meet abruptly
Wins. If it can be built for the web, it can be built here
Moving it later
Content exports, the build does not - leaving means rebuilding the front end
Wins. The whole site moves between hosts, and that portability is real
What breaks over time
Little - platform updates are Wix's problem, not yours
Wins on control, loses on effort. Plugin and core updates are the most common cause of a site going down

For a business site of up to about forty pages, Wix Studio usually costs less over five years and goes wrong less often. Need unusual functionality, or does portability matter more than running cost? Hire a WordPress agency - I will tell you which you are at the first conversation, at no charge.

Questions

Web design questions I get asked most

More on the full FAQs page.

How many revisions do I get?+

Unlimited during the design phase. I keep iterating until you are happy with the direction before anything is built out across the site.

Will it work properly on mobile?+

Yes, and it is tested on desktop, tablet and mobile before launch, whichever route you choose.

Do I edit the site myself?+

That is the deciding question. If you want to, a Wix site bought outright is fully editable by you. If you would rather it was done for you, a monthly plan built on Astro includes up to 1 hour (Standard) or 2 hours (Performance) of small changes a month, done within 2 working days.

Is branding included?+

Designing to your existing brand is always included. Creating or refreshing a logo and identity is scoped into the fixed quote at the start, never added as a surprise later.

Can you take over an existing Wix site?+

Yes. I take ownership and redesign, update or manage it ongoing. If yours was left unfinished by someone else, Wix Rescue is built for exactly that.

Do you build accessible websites?+

On every project. I aim for WCAG 2.1 AA as standard, covering contrast, keyboard operation and screen reader support, tested before launch rather than sold as an extra.

Can you build an online store?+

Yes. A bookings or ecommerce site is from £150 a month on a monthly plan (12-month minimum), or from £1,000 bought outright on Wix, on the Wix Core plan online payments need. Card fees are paid by you, to the payment provider.

What does "Wix Legend Partner" mean?+

It is the top of the four levels in Wix's own partner programme (Pioneer, Creator, Icon and Legend). Partners reach it by launching client sites on paid Wix plans and holding Wix certifications, so it reflects a track record of delivered work.

Can you build custom functionality Wix doesn't offer?+

Yes, using Wix Velo, Wix's own code layer, for custom forms, logic and integrations beyond standard Wix features. For anything beyond that, a client portal, a booking system with unusual rules, custom software, see custom solutions instead.

Is Wix Studio or WordPress the better choice?+

Neither, for everyone. For a business site of up to roughly forty pages that needs to look good, load fast and be edited by the owner, Wix Studio usually wins on total cost and on how little goes wrong later. For unusual data, heavy integration, or genuinely needing to move the whole site between hosts one day, WordPress is the better answer and I will say so.

My existing Wix site is broken or was left unfinished, can you help?+

Usually, yes, even without login details from whoever built it. I take a free look first, then give you a fixed quote for the job and tell you honestly whether to repair it or rebuild. See Wix Rescue below.

Sound like you?

Let's work out
your price.

A quick call is enough to tell you which route fits, a monthly plan or a site bought outright, and what it costs, with no obligation to go ahead and no hard sell. If I am not the right fit I will say so.
