We Create Innovative Solutions for Excellence and the Future

While my core specialization is website design and programming, I understand that high-quality photography is essential for a professional website. Yes, I can assist with product photography.

I have picked up valuable techniques throughout my career to ensure products look their best online. My focus is on preparing images specifically for web optimization:

• Web-Ready Quality: Ensuring products are correctly lit and composed for fast loading and optimal viewing on mobile devices.
• Practical Sessions: I can guide you through preparing your products and help you capture images that are immediately ready for your e-commerce platform.
• Optimization & Editing: Cleaning up, cropping, and optimizing all final images for the fastest possible website speed.

For complex product shots requiring advanced studio setups or highly technical photography, I can always recommend specialist professional photographers I trust.

Yes, absolutely. Your website is fully portable. I build websites specifically to avoid vendor lock-in, meaning you are free to move your site to any hosting provider at any time.

As you own all the files and code once the project is complete, moving is straightforward. If you choose to switch hosts, I will provide you with:

• The complete set of website files (code, assets, theme files).
• A full, current copy of your website's database.
• All necessary credentials and configuration documentation.

While I recommend staying on my managed, high-performance UK hosting for guaranteed security and speed, you have full control and freedom over your hosting choices.

All payments are handled securely via GoCardless in GBP (£). I do not accept cash, cheques, or direct credit card transfers over the phone.

I chose GoCardless because it is the safest and most efficient way for both of us to handle payments. Here is how it works:

• Secure & Simple: You simply set up a "Direct Debit Mandate" once via a secure online link. You don't need to manually transfer money or give me your card details over the phone.
• For One-Off Payments: For project deposits or final balances, I will send you an invoice first. Payment is then collected automatically on the due date—but only after you have been notified.
• For Ongoing Support: If you choose a monthly maintenance package, payment is collected automatically each month so your website stays online without you worrying about admin.
• You Are Protected: All payments are covered by the Direct Debit Guarantee, giving you a full immediate refund from your bank in the unlikely event of an error.

Yes, absolutely. Once the project is complete and the final payment is made, you retain full, unrestricted ownership of your live website and all its components.

My philosophy is that you should always own your digital assets. This includes:

• Content and Data: You own 100% of all the text, images, branding, and customer data collected by the website.
• Domain Name: Your website address (e.g., yourname.co.uk) is registered in your business name, ensuring you have total control over your online identity.
• Design and Structure: You own the final visual design, the overall site architecture, and the necessary licensing for the underlying code.

I ensure that you receive all necessary files and credentials so that you are never locked into my service and have complete freedom to manage or move your website at any point.

My quoted price is a fixed fee in GBP (£) that covers every single stage required to take your project from an idea to a fully functioning website launch. There are absolutely no hidden charges.

The price presented in your proposal covers the entire build process, including:

• Strategy & Consultation: Detailed face-to-face planning, goal mapping, and defining the site structure.
• Design & Revisions: All custom visual design, prototyping, and necessary fine-tuning revisions.
• Development & Programming: All custom coding, integration, and building your dedicated Admin Panel.
• Testing & Launch: Comprehensive quality assurance, mobile testing, and the final site deployment.
• Training: A complete walkthrough of your Content Management System before launch.

What is generally NOT included: The fixed price covers the *creation* of the site. Separate, ongoing costs such as domain name renewal, website hosting, and any optional monthly maintenance or advanced SEO packages are billed separately.
