Freelance Web Design & Development
Hey! I’m Ollie. I design responsive, search engine friendly websites for small businesses and startups across the UK.
Hey! I’m Ollie. I design responsive, search engine friendly websites for small businesses and startups across the UK.
I have over 10 years of experience in web design and digital marketing, and over the years I’ve helped many businesses build their online presence. My focus is on taking the hassle away from you, so you can conentrate on running your business.
I create websites with search engines in mind, to give your business the grounding to rank highly.
Over 60% of browsing is on mobiles, so I create sites that are responsive and look great on any device.
A Google Business Profile helps customers find you on Google Search and in Google Maps.
I can provide secure hosting and domains, so you don’t have to worry about the technical stuff.
I’ll get you set up with professional you@yourdomain.com emails, if you don’t already have them.
If you need to take payment online, via ecommerce, a booking system or anything else – I can help.
Whilst I’m based in Stockport and mostly work with local businesses in and around Greater Manchester, thanks to the internet I can work with you regardless of where you are.
I’ve been designing websites since I was in primary school (seriously), but got my first paid gig around 12 years ago. Since then, I’ve graduated with a First Class degree in Marketing, and gained a wealth of experience in all areas of digital marketing and web design.
More questions…
I offer web design and development. Whether you need a simple 5 page site or a fully fledged ecommerce operation, I’ll be able to help. My focus is on taking the hassle away from you, so that you can concentrate on running your business.
I can also help with setting up professional emails and your Google Business Profile.
I’m friendly, approachable and hard-working. Alhough, I suppose I would say that – so you’d be better off checking out reviews from previous clients on my Google Business Profile.
I like things to be organised, so if we work together you can expect a clearly laid out plan of action, with deadline for the both of us so we can get your website completed on time.
There are pros and cons on both sides in the freelancer vs agency debate. I’ve worked with many agencies in my time, and I like to think this experience helps me offer a better service to my clients. The main reasons I’d recommend using a freelancer like myself are:
I’ve worked with clients in many sectors, including hospitality, construction, healthcare, weddings, consulting and more.
I’ve built sites with a range of functionality – large ecommerce stores, complex booking systems, membership sites, as well as simple 5 pagers.
I mostly build with WordPress. It’s used by around 25% of all websites. I like it because it’s highly flexible and makes sites easy to maintain.
Sometimes I’ll also use Shopify for ecommerce projects. I’d more than happy to discuss the pros and cons as they relate to your specific project.
For web build projects, I charge a fixed fee. However this can vary dramatically based on the scope of the project. I know you were probably hoping for a simple answer – sorry! However if you’d like to send me some details about your requirements, I can provide a free no-obligation quote.
I’m based in Stockport, so tend to focus on businesses in the Greater Manchester area. However I have taken on clients from all over the UK so whether you’re in Land’s End or John O’Groats, it’s worth getting in touch.
I can work with clients outside of the UK too, but bear in mind I am mostly available during UK working hours (8-5 GMT).
Outside of my freelance work, I run a couple of online businesses myself, so these take up a lot of my time.
But in my spare time, I like hanging out with my wife, family and friends, watching football, eating great food and travelling the world.
A film it yourself wedding video service, where guests submit clips from their phones.
An ecommerce site that specialises in creating customised condom packaging.
A consultant specialising in Appreciative Inquiry.
A membership site for a FinTech startup featuring paywall content.
A family business, specialising in Property Repairs, Improvements and Renovations.
A psycho-therapeutic counsellor and hypnotherapist.
