My Mini Bio

Why choose a freelance web designer?

Commissioning a design agency can be unnecessarily time consuming, extremely expensive and very impersonal. Often, leaving you with a sour taste in your mouth - and an empty wallet!

A freelance web designer, on the other hand, doesn't come with these pitfalls and there are many advantages over using a large web design agency. As a freelance designer you are only paying for my time and skills with no expensive overheads, swanky London offices, staff to pay, young blonde secretaries (hmm!) or other costs associated with larger web design companies. From a client’s perspective, there is almost no noticeable difference in using RootHost compared to using a large design agency apart from the costs which can be considerably less.

Working in this way allows me to deliver cost effective solutions of the highest quality at a fraction of the cost compared to many of the large design agencies. Here's how I differ:-

• i will...
• Give you free non-bias advice
• Listen to your ideas and requirements
• Offer advise on the best solutions for you - not me
• Present money-saving options
• Ask what your budget is and explain the best way to use it
• Go the extra mile to ensure client satisfaction
• Use only ethical SEO methods to gain a good pagerank for your site

• i will not...
• Make promises that I cannot deliver or unrealistic time frames
• Cut corners to save time
• Sell you something you don't need
• Disappear after your project is finished - leaving you without after sales help
• Take on half finished projects
• Undertake 'spec' work
• Use 'black-hat' SEO techniques that could get your site banned from the search engines

If you’re still not sure if a professional freelance web designer is right for your business, then please get in touch and I'll do my best to answer any queries.
