Bespoke Website Design
Design is not just what it looks like and feels like.
Design is how it works
– Steve Jobs
UX Led Design
It’s easier than ever to build a ‘free’ website yourself, but lack-lustre results will actually be costing you a lot of money! It’s likely that people aren’t engaging because you haven’t considered the user experience (UX).
Reliable
I love what I do and I’ve been doing it for 8 years. I’m a business person & designer in equal measure so you can expect a professional, creative service, helpful suggestions, integrity and a can-do attitude.
Hi, I’m Sarah
I have been creating & developing hard-working websites since 2010. I’m based in Bournemouth and work primarily for small business owners, project teams and event organisers in and around Dorset and the south-
Before I settled for life in front of a stack of computer screens I spent many years in design & marketing, in Bournemouth and in London. For much of that time I was growing my own business, and now I enjoy helping other small business owners do the same.
The only way to be different is to be yourself. It’s often the personal touch that will set you apart from your competitors so I like to get to know you as well as to understand your business. A bespoke website oozing with personality allows you to build meaningful connections with your target audience, to create lasting relationships and ultimately improve your bottom line.
Please take a look at some of the projects I’ve been working on recently; if you think I might be the web designer your business needs, don’t hesitate to get in touch.
YES, A FEMALE WEB DESIGNER
About 85% of web designers in the UK are men. So that makes me pretty special, right?
And you might prefer a web designer that’s female, especially if your target market is too.
