Private Web Design

20 Years Experience | WordPress & Shopify

I’ve 20 years experience building websites, working on full migration projects for Radley London and Hotel Chocolat, but also building small sites privately msyelf. For Hotel Chocolat I have created websites for Cafes, Resteraunts and Hotels in St Lucia. I have also created websites for Musicians, Fitness Coaches and more… Typically my sites cost a few thousand pounds built on wordpress or shopify including research, design, content, build and launch, plus any marketing services.
