I am a freelance web designer and have been fiddling with websites since 1998. My first full eCommerce website went live in the summer of 2006, since then it has evolved, grown and changed formats several times. With over 40 years experience in the retail industry I understand the importance of a good 'shop front' and your website is just that.
Based near Leamington Spa, Warwickshire, I now build sites for other people based on the WordPress platform although I also have experience using Magento and Prestashop. My aim is to help small and medium size independent businesses get a good presence on the internet. With the explosion of social media in recent years, it is imperative that all businesses have an online presence. It is no longer an aspiration but a requirement to help your customers find you, and as around 60% of your customers will be viewing your site using a mobile device, your website also needs to be mobile friendly - actually it needs to be 'mobile first' as Google have expanded their use of mobile-friendliness as a ranking signal. This change affected mobile searches in all languages worldwide and has a significant impact in Google search results. Consequently, websites that are 'mobile first' and optimized for these devices get higher quality search results.

Why WordPress?
The WordPress platform is a rich open source format that allows me to build creative and innovate websites and blogs. Its advanced functionality and rich content then enables you to take control of your website thereby saving you money.
Search engines like WordPress because its framework is easy to crawl and with regular automated updates its security features remain current. The addition of images, video and audio files is a great way to enhance your site, WordPress handles these multimedia files in your pages and posts with ease.
Its user-friendly, intuitive and easy to learn and as there’s a very good possibility that you’ll have to rely on multiple people to keep your site up and running, its easy to assign different roles for different individuals.
By building beautiful WordPress websites I can be sure that you will have the very latest and most flexible features and when the time comes to freshen up your site with a new design the process is straight forward.
