Reasons to hire me:

  • - Most of my clients require cross-discipline skills e.g. a fully functional website with a professionally graphic-designed front end. I can provide a range of skills therefore avoiding the need to hire a team or agency.
  • - For the reasons above, I have relatively low overheads compared to an agency which means I can keep my prices as reasonable as possible.
  • - I have access to skilled like-minded individuals should any part of your project require to be sub-contracted out.
  • - I provide a close one-to-one working relationship with clients
  • - Just check out my portfolio!

Reasons you might want to look elsewhere:

  • - Due to the range of skills I have and the ongoing active interest I have in pursuing all of them, plus the fact that I am only one person, I may not be able to commit to a 18+ month project. Always ask me about it anyway.
  • - If you are looking for a webmaster i.e. somebody who's role it is to manage and maintain your content in real time (my websites and follow-up training leave you with a website you can maintain on your own)
  • - If you feel the visual aspect of your project is unimportant. I aim to make all my work look great and that comes as part of the price of your project.
