Russell took my specs, knew exactly what questions to ask to have all the information he needs, knew all the best practices and pluging that would make my life easier, actually paid for a plugin himself without asking for extra funds, and he was working under a lot of pressure because I had a CRAZY deadline to meet. HIGHLY recommended!

FAQs
What is the difference between web design and web development?






Web design is the creation of a website layout usually as a flat image. Tools such as Photoshop, Sketch or Adobe XD are used to create the UI and UX of a website layout. The site is not a functional working site, but rather a flat image that shows where elements should be on the page, and how they should look. Website Development is then coding that website, using coding languages such as PHP, HTML and CSS to turn the flat image into a functioning website.
How much does web design cost?






Website design cost varies depending on multiple factors, including complexity of the design and the amount of pages. As a general rule, you should expect to pay £2000-3000 GBP for a homepage design, and anywhere from £300-£1000 per additional page.
How much does wordpress web development cost?






Wordpress web development cost also varies massively, depending on the complexity of the designs, the size of the website, and the functionality required. Basic 'brochure' websites can cost £3000-6000GBP to code, whereas more complex websites such as ecommerce sites can range from £6000-10,000+ GBP. Cheaper options are available if you use a pre-built theme.
Why should I hire a freelance website designer?






Freelance web designers like me charge a much lower rate than a web design agency. Usually agencies have large overheads to cover, such as the cost of their offices, and employee wages. A freelance web designer can offer a lower rate as they usually work from home, or in a remote office. Website design agencies also tend to have a large amount of clients, making you feel more like a number than a valued customer. A freelance website designer has limited availability, so usually takes on less work - allowing them to concentrate more fully on your requirements!
