I’ve been hugely proud to work with the musician and presenter Cerys Matthews on her new ecommerce website. The aim was to create a fantastic showcase of Cerys’ incredible career, plus an integrated online shop where she can now sell her albums and children’s books direct to her fans. When it comes to celebrity website…
I’ve loved working on www.portobellopopins.com for Lulu Hames, a local entrepreneur setting up ‘Crafternoons’ and drama classes for children in Notting Hill along with her sister Laura.
Over the years, having worked as a staff journalist on the Daily Mail and then owned my own news agency which was responsible for thousands of stories in the national press, I’ve got very used to seeing my byline and my work in print to the point that I often missed my own articles when…
I was thrilled the other day to get this testimonial from Georgina Davies of www.brightonstylist.co.uk. She offers wardrobe makeovers and personal shopping to her clients across Sussex. Prior to working with me, she had a very old dated website which had been down for months, meaning it had been removed from Google for the keywords…
I can’t even imagine the excitement that Brooklyn based Frank Collective felt when they were tasked with building muhammedali.com by Authentic Brands Group, the New York brand development and licensing company. But where would you even start with building a site that encapsulates, positions, and sells a man considered a legend around the globe? Here are…
Many website designers just do, well, website design! Which of course is something I do too….. But in today’s competitive world, we’ve all got to set ourselves apart right, and I consider myself more than a web designer. I see myself as being a one-stop shop for my web design clients with an element of…
I’ve loved working with Mary Nightingale on designing and building her brand new official website, which is now live at http://Marynightingale.tv It’s really easy to believe that celebrities, or people who have become well known have just been lucky, but what is clear from working for the likes of Mary Nightingale and Adil Ray and…

There is only one thing I want out of the work I do, and that is happy customers and to see that I’ve made a real difference. Which is why I was thrilled to get this testimonial from the talented Amy Goodall of Silhouette makeup.
I’m a HUGE fan of video for websites. The stats say people are 80 per cent more likely to buy or engage after watching a video. And you only have to think of your own behaviour when it comes to engaging with people, buying services from people or trusting people after watching a video. You just…
There is one thing that is certain when it comes to web design – and that is you can’t even begin to build a great, high-impact website, particularly one showcasing a well-known individual or talented person without a GREAT set of photographs. Gone are the days when websites are full of graphic doodles and decals…
I know I’m always going on about video, and how if you are a talented person wanting to show your work, then video is something you must consider. It simply makes you more bookable. It immediately demonstrates your abilities, showcases your personality and helps people connect with you before they buy or book you. It…
With many of my web clients, I take the images for their site myself, but in the case of celebrities I usually employ an experienced celebrity photographer.

Recently, I was asked to host a web design workshop for 18 charities in Kensington & Chelsea, on behalf of the Kensington & Chelsea Foundation, an organisation that connects charities and businesses in the Royal Borough.
