FAQ.

Why choose a freelance web designer?

Freelance web designers offer a more personal service than big agencies. We take time to really understand what you need, so your website truly shows off your brand.

As a freelancer, I have lower costs, which often means better prices for you. This is great for small businesses or new startups. I’m also quicker to make changes than big companies. If you need something done fast, I can usually help.

How much do UK freelance web designers typically charge?

Prices for UK freelance web designers can vary a lot. It depends on things like their experience level, essential skills, where they’re based, and what you need.

I provide personalised quotes after assessing the specific needs of each project. Generally, my creative web design services start at ballpark figures of around £2,000. However, the final price may vary based on the complexity of your project.

A simple website with just a few pages might cost less. A big online shop with lots of special features would cost more.

How long does it take a web designer to create a website?

The time it takes to make a website can vary. It depends on things like how big the project is, how complex it is, and whether you have all your content ready.

As a freelancer, I can often work faster than big agencies. But it’s important not to rush – a good website needs careful planning.

For a basic website with just a few pages, it usually takes about 2-4 weeks if you have all your content ready. More complex websites, like online shops, could take 6-12 weeks or even longer.

We’ll keep in touch throughout the process to make sure everything’s on track and matches what you want.

How can I become a UK freelance web designer?

To become a successful UK freelance web designer, you need a mix of design skills, tech knowledge, an understanding of business models, and additional skills. Here are some key steps:

  1. Build a great portfolio showcasing your best work.
  2. Keep learning about new design tools and trends.
  3. Learn about running a business, such as managing clients and handling invoices.
  4. Consider focusing on a specific type of website or industry.
  5. Network with other web professionals to share insights and opportunities.
  6. Market yourself effectively online to attract clients.
  7. Keep improving your skills to stay competitive in the field.

It takes hard work, but it can be a rewarding career if you’re willing to keep learning and adapting to changes in the industry.

Difference between freelance web designer and developer?

Web designers and developers do different jobs, even though people often mix them up.

As a web designer, I focus on how a website looks. I:

  1. Create the visual layout of the site
  2. Choose colours, fonts, and images
  3. Make sure the digital design fits the brand
  4. Design how the site will look on different devices

A web developer brings the designer’s ideas to life with code. They:

  1. Write the code that makes the site work
  2. Add features and interactive elements
  3. Make sure the site works well on different browsers
  4. Handle technical stuff like databases

Some people (like myself) can do both design and development, but for bigger projects, it’s common to have different experts for each job.

Should you hire a high-quality web design expert or agency?

Choosing between a freelancer and a design agency depends on what you need.

Hiring a freelance website designer like me can be great for smaller design projects or if you’re on a tight budget. We usually charge less because we have lower costs. You also get to work directly with the person doing your project.

Freelancers are often more flexible and can make changes quickly. This is helpful if your project might change as you go along.

But for bigger, more complex projects, an agency might be better. Agencies usually have teams with different experts like designers, developers, and project managers. This can be good if your project needs lots of different skills.

Ultimately, it depends on what you need, how much you can spend, and how you prefer to work.

Can you do web design separately as I already have a web developer?

Yes, I can definitely do the web design part even if you already have a developer. This is quite common in the web industry.

As the web designer, I would work with you to understand what you want and create designs that look great and fit your brand.

Once you’re happy with the designs, I’ll give all the design files and details to your developer. They would then use these to build the actual website.

I’d work closely with your developer to make sure the finished website looks just like the approved designs.

What do I need to get started with a freelance website designer?

To get off to a good start, it’s helpful to have a few things ready:

  1. Know what you want your website to do and who it’s for.
  2. Have your text, images, logos, and other content ready if possible.
  3. If you have any existing brand styles or colours, share these.
  4. It can help to show examples of websites you like.
  5. Have a rough idea of how much you can spend and when you need the site ready.
  6. Choose someone who can give feedback and make decisions.
  7. Let me know if you need any specific features or connections to other systems.

Don’t worry if you don’t have all of this sorted – I can help guide you through the process.
