Freelance web designer, working across the UK.
I’m John, a freelance web and graphic designer based in Birmingham. I design websites, online shops, logos and print for small businesses anywhere in the UK, with the whole project run over video calls, email and shared screens.
- 14 years in agencies and in-house teams

- You deal with me, start to finish
A remote web designer who’s easy to reach
You don’t need a designer down the road. We talk on a video call, I share the designs on screen so you can see them on a laptop and a phone, and everything else happens by email. It’s quick, and it works wherever your business is.
I’ve spent 14 years designing for agencies and in-house teams. Now I work as a freelance web designer and freelance graphic designer, directly with business owners, so the person on the first call is the one who designs, builds and launches your site, and who’s still there after launch.
What I can do for you

One-page and multi-page sites for trades, cafés, salons, clinics and services, designed for phones first.

How it works
A video call

Designs on your screen
You see the designs on a shared screen, then get a link to try them on your own laptop and phone.
Built and checked
Built, polished and tested on phones and computers, with updates by email along the way.
Live, and looked after
It goes live, with help a message away whenever you need something changing.

Questions people ask
Can you work with me if I’m not in Birmingham?
Yes. I’m based in Birmingham, but my projects run over video calls and email, so it makes no difference where in the UK your business is.
How do remote projects work?
We start with a video call, then I send you a fixed quote. I share the designs on screen and by link so you can see them on your own laptop and phone, and we keep in touch by email while I build. Nothing goes live until you’re happy with it.
Do we ever meet in person?
Usually there’s no need, as video calls and shared screens cover everything from the first chat to the final checks. If you’re within reach of Birmingham and would like to meet, I’m happy to.
How much does it cost?
Websites start from £500 for a small site, £900 for five pages or more and £1,500 for ten or more, and small online shops from £1,800. Logos start from £300, brand identities from £500 and print from £45 a page. You get a fixed quote before we start.
How long does it take?
A small website usually takes about a week from our first call to going live, a medium site two to three weeks, and larger sites and shops four weeks or more. You’ll get a timeline with your quote, and a fast turnaround can be requested.
Wherever you are, let’s talk.
Tell me a bit about your business and what you need. I usually reply within a working day.
