Website Design & Build

Throughout my career in freelancing and agency work, I have developed numerous websites and have specialised in creating WordPress sites since 2014. My experience includes building a diverse range of websites, from e-commerce platforms to intricate, information-rich sites.

Below is a selection of websites I have designed and developed entirely from scratch.

The Swim Team

I partnered with The Swim Team to create a brand-new website from scratch, balancing a polished, professional look with a playful, kid-friendly aesthetic. With no existing brand guidelines, I collaborated closely with them to establish a cohesive brand identity.

The website features a vibrant design and easy navigation, prioritizing accessibility and user experience. Key elements include interactive maps, clear pricing, and simple booking options. Playful visuals and child-focused imagery create a welcoming atmosphere, while testimonials build community trust.

Overall, the site provides quick access to essential information about lessons, locations, and services, connecting families with safe and enjoyable swimming lessons.

Bonner & Hindley

At Bonner & Hindley, I redesigned the website to create a vibrant, modern platform that reflects the company’s energetic and creative personality while maintaining a professional layout. Key features include a dynamic gradient color scheme, custom icons, and a user-friendly structure. I showcased key client projects in a dedicated portfolio, using visuals and case studies to attract new clients. The responsive, WordPress-based design ensures optimal performance across devices and is fully customizable for future growth.

Museums Sheffield Venue Hire Website

As part of a new initiative by Museums Sheffield, I was tasked with designing and implementing a dedicated microsite to promote their event spaces for weddings and other events. I developed new brand colors and styling that complemented their existing guidelines, ensuring a cohesive and visually appealing online presence. This approach effectively highlighted the unique identity of Museums Sheffield's venues while attracting potential clients.

Paragon Hospitality

I created a sleek, modern design for Paragon Hospitality Consultants, emphasizing a clean, sophisticated look with a gold and black color palette to reflect the brand’s high-end services. The layout is minimal, allowing bold visuals to take center stage—especially in the hero section, which features an elegant hospitality setting. Iconography and carefully curated imagery enhance the services section, while the team and testimonial areas are designed to build credibility through a polished, professional aesthetic. The design is fully responsive, ensuring a seamless experience across all devices, with intuitive navigation and well-placed CTAs driving user engagement.

LHVA (Leeds Hotels and Venues Association)

The LHVA website is designed as a functional directory, providing easy access to information on hotels and venues throughout Leeds. Its clean, professional layout ensures seamless navigation, with key sections like the directory, careers, and member resources prominently featured. Users can quickly locate relevant venues or services through a structured, intuitive interface. Additionally, the design highlights collaborations with local authorities and educational institutions. The emphasis is on delivering a streamlined user experience for businesses, tourists, and industry professionals looking for event spaces and accommodations in the city.

Bowland Forest Vintners

I designed a refined, user-friendly website for Bowland Forest Vintners, a premium wine merchant. The site features a classic burgundy and cream color palette, conveying sophistication and tradition. The homepage welcomes visitors with a warm hero image and easy-to-follow ordering instructions. Product pages are cleanly organized with intuitive filters, helping users easily browse the wine selection. Classic serif typography and elegant imagery enhance the brand's high-end appeal, while a responsive design ensures a seamless shopping experience across devices. The overall design blends tradition with modern eCommerce functionality.
