Freelance Web Designer
Why me?

How do I ensure that the website you design is responsive and accessible?
Built with flexbox grids, tested on 20+ devices. Follow WCAG guidelines so screen readers work seamlessly. No one gets left behind.

Two rounds of tweaks are included. Extra changes? £65/hour. No surprise invoices – we’ll agree on everything upfront.
How do you ensure the website is secure and protected from cyber attacks?
SSL certificates, malware scans, and weekly backups. I also stay informed about current security threats and take appropriate action to protect the website.
Do you offer maintenance and support services for the website?
Yes – from £80/month for updates, backups, and “why’s my contact form broken?” fixes. It’s important to discuss your needs and expectations for maintenance and support before starting the project.
