A website built for your business
Your website should make your business look professional, explain what you do clearly and make it easy for customers to take the next step.

Start your siteYour business isn’t a template
Your business has its own customers, services and personality. Your website should reflect that.
I start with what you need the website to do, what your customers need to know and how you want your business to be represented.
The result is a website designed specifically for your business — clear, professional and easy to use, whether somebody visits on their phone, tablet or computer.
No generic themes. No unnecessary features. No paying for things you don’t need.
Contemporary websites, built to fit
Your website should be built around what your business needs — not around the limitations of a pre-designed template.
I use modern web development tools to create bespoke, efficient websites designed for your requirements, with the features and functionality that make sense for your business.
For some businesses, that means a simple, fast website that presents their services beautifully. For others, it might mean regularly updated content, online selling, enquiry forms or connections to other business systems.
I’ll recommend the right approach based on what you need now, while considering how your website may need to develop in the future.
Your requirements come first. The technology follows.

Start your siteNeed something more?
Not every business needs the same kind of website.
You might need more pages, enquiry forms, regularly updated content, appointment booking, ecommerce or connections to other systems you already use. You may also want to update parts of the website yourself.
I’ll talk through what you need and recommend an approach that makes sense for your business, rather than adding technology and features you don’t need.
Tell me what you needHow it works
-
Tell me about your business
We’ll start with a conversation about your business, your customers, what you offer and what you need your website to achieve.
You don’t need to write a technical specification. That’s my job.
-
See the direction
I’ll turn that conversation into a clear direction for your website.
For suitable projects, I can create a working preview so you can see how the idea works on screen rather than trying to imagine your new website from a written proposal.
-
Build and test your website
Once we’ve agreed the direction and content, I’ll build the finished site and test it thoroughly before launch.
I’ll check it against the agreed brief, test pages and functionality across different browsers and devices, and run performance and technical checks to identify any errors or issues.
You’ll then have the opportunity to review the completed site before it goes live.
-
Go live
I’ll take care of the technical launch, including connecting the website to your domain and carrying out the final checks.
You’ll have a finished website that’s ready to represent your business.
What about search?
It’s one of the first questions most business owners ask:
Will people find my new website?
Every website I build starts with good foundations for search. That includes clear page structure, appropriate titles and descriptions, good performance, mobile usability and making sure search engines can find and understand the site.
I can also help organise your pages around the services you provide and the things your customers are likely to search for.
No web designer can guarantee where Google will rank a website. Rankings depend on many things, including competition, content and your business’s wider presence online.
What I can do is make sure your website is built with search in mind from the beginning, rather than treating it as an afterthought.
Experience you can rely on
I’ve worked on websites and digital projects for organisations with very different requirements, from straightforward business websites to large sites with extensive content.
That experience means I look beyond how a website appears on screen. I can take care of the practical work involved in getting it online too — including domains, hosting, content, search foundations and the technical details you shouldn’t have to worry about.
Organisations I’ve worked with
“We worked with Rachel on creating a much needed new website for our adult learning team, which provides workshops and courses to Ealing residents.
Rachel understood what we wanted to achieve straight away and needed little direction and guidance simply because she understood the brief and our needs so well. She is extremely knowledgeable, professional, friendly, efficient and her work and design suggestions – of highest quality. Rachel is also flexible and collaborative.
Working with Rachel is a true pleasure and we would highly recommend her services. Our new website is not only much more functional, accessible and easier to use, but it also looks wonderful.”
“Rachel swiftly fulfilled the brief and created not only a functional, but a stylish and well-designed platform on which we can showcase our various digital productions. She is regularly on hand to answer any queries we may have, update us on interest and visits to the site, and undertake additional work and revisions as required.”
Want to see what your new website could look like?
Tell me about your business, your current website if you have one, and what you’d like to improve.
You don’t need to know what technology you need or arrive with everything worked out. That’s part of what I can help with.
For suitable projects, I can create a working preview so you can see the direction your new website could take before committing to a full build.
