You don't need a big agency. You need someone who understands your business, communicates clearly, and builds a website that actually works. I'm a freelance website designer based in Cheshire.
For 10 years I've helped local businesses look brilliant online, with clients in Chester, Tarporley, Kelsall, Nantwich, Alderley Edge, Bolton and Manchester. I'm happy to meet you in person anywhere around Chester and Cheshire, or on a video call if that's easier.
From local startups finding their feet to established Chester brands ready to scale. What they all have in common is a website that wasn't doing enough for them. A good website isn't just a digital brochure. It's your hardest-working salesperson, running 24/7, converting visitors into enquiries and enquiries into customers. That's what I build. Recent local projects include The Kilometre Club, a Chester running club, and McDonald Joinery, a Cheshire joinery firm.
For product businesses that are serious about selling online. I design and build Shopify stores from the ground up: theme selection, app integrations, payment setup, and full store migrations from Squarespace, Wix, WooCommerce, Magento, or any other platform. I also set up Shopify B2B for wholesale, with company accounts, price lists and payment terms. Everything is built with conversion in mind.
I also handle the things most designers skip: speed optimisation, Google Merchant Center integration, and structured data so your products show up in Shopping results. Recent Shopify projects include Balanced Kitchen MCR in Manchester and MÆGEN, which saw a 25% increase in sales after moving from Squarespace.
For businesses, agencies, consultants, and growing brands that want something genuinely bespoke. Webflow gives you a fully custom website built on clean, lightweight code, no bloated plugins and no security headaches. It loads fast, looks sharp on every device, and comes with a CMS that's actually enjoyable to use day-to-day.
If you want a site that reflects your brand properly and gives your team full control without needing a developer every time you want to change a heading, Webflow is usually the answer. It's also increasingly the go-to platform for businesses that want to rank well in both traditional search and AI-driven results — which matters more every year.
For businesses that need flexibility, familiarity, and a platform with a huge ecosystem behind it. With 10 years of WordPress experience, I build custom sites that go far beyond themes. I've got experience building bespoke page templates, WooCommerce integration, membership systems, booking engines, and performance-optimised builds that actually rank.
WordPress is still the world's most widely used CMS for good reason: it gives you enormous control and scales well as your business grows. I build sites the right way with cloud-based hosting, clean code, security hardened from day one, and none of the plugin bloat that slows most WordPress sites down. If you've been burned by a bad WordPress build before, you'll notice the difference immediately.
