General
Of course! I've worked on many websites in my time so will be happy to help guide you through the whole process.

At the moment, I recommend using WordPress for ease of use, customisability, amount of plugins to extend functionality and value for money. Another option would be to connect WordPress to Gatsby for a even quicker site.

For the same reasons as which CMS I recommend I also recommend Woocomerce ecommerce plugin. For sites which require less customisation I would recommend Shopify.

I prefer to charge on a project basis. This gives us both a fixed cost according to the agreed functionality. If later it is discovered you need more functionality then we can see if it can be included or whether an additional quote is required. However, other payment terms are possible.

I am happy to work with everybody from sole traders to multinational corporations. From blogs to corporate sites to ecommerce stores to custom software solutions. I’ve worked with B2Bs and B2Cs, with internal systems and external websites.

It depends on several factors:
– the complexity of the project
– the size of the projects
– the level of customisation required
– how much interaction is needed with 3rd parties (I am dependent on the speed at which they respond)
– how long it takes for your content to be ready
– how long it takes you to sign-off designs or any feedback required
– how long it takes to respond to any queries I might have
– my current workload
So a site can take anywhere from a few weeks to several months.
If you select an open source CMS such as wordpress along with customisation it will be quicker than a complete Laravel or Ruby on Rails build. Connecting to external systems also can take extra time depending on the quality of their APIs and work required. When I give you a quote I will also give you a timeframe as well.

I will communicate with you to find out exactly what you want and how I can help.
For Web Development Only packages:
I will add a scope of work document listing all the functionalities required. After you have signed it I can start work.*
Once the site has been completed I will put it on on a development server for you to test.
After testing I require final payment and I will then add to your hosting server. If you do not have one I can help you set one up.
For Web Development with Design:
We (The designer/myself/project manager) will go into an even further discovery phase where we find out much more about your company and what you need, then give you a quote.
Once you have your quote and agree to it we will sign a contract and I list all the functionality and scope of work required for that project*.
One of my designers and (possibly) a project managers will then discuss the design with you and then come up with some concepts for you. Once the successful concept has been chosen I will require you to sign that design off.*
I will then start building the site according to the signed-off design and scope of work.
Once the site has been completed I will put it on our development server for you to test.
For larger sites I will break the project into sprints and add to my development server at the end of each sprint so you can test.
After testing I require final payment and will then either add to your chosen host.
*These are important legally binding document that you will need to read and agree to. I will ensure all functionality listed in completed. Any functionality not listed will not be added unless a change request form is signed with possible payment required. For the signed-off design this is what the site will look like. Any change to the design will also need a signed change request form along with a possible payment.

SEO stands for Search Engine Optimisation. There are two main types of Search Engine Optimisation: paid-for and organic.
Paid-for SEO is paying search engines so your site appears at the top of the search results or in sponsored locations. I can help you with Paid-for SEO for an additional cost after your site has gone live.
Organic SEO refers to optimising your site naturally to produce a higher page rank and ultimately a higher listing in the results. I do this in all of my packages – including correct use of heading tags (H), page titles, meta descriptions, cross-site linking, etc.
