How it started
Hi there! I’m Darren, a Web Designer with a love for all things tech and computing. Thanks for stopping by my little corner of the internet!
I got into web design back in college, and I’ve been learning and improving ever since. I’ve always loved the mix of creativity and problem-solving, so turning it into a career just made sense. With a solid tech background, I focus on getting things just right—I won’t call a project finished until you’re completely happy with it, down to the last detail.
best of the rest
When I’m not at my desk, I’m usually out and about with my wife (who’s an amazing hair stylist) and our little boy, Ozzy. I love running—I’ve done two marathons and a bunch of half marathons—and I’m also an open water certified scuba diver. Big football fan, and I’m always up for live music. I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve seen The Rifles, Kasabian, and The Coral, but it’s definitely well into double figures!
Thanks for taking the time to learn a bit about me! If you have a project in mind or just want to chat about your website needs, I’d love to hear from you. Whether you’re starting from scratch or need a refresh, feel free to reach out. I also offer general IT support—so if you ever need a hand with tech issues, I’m happy to help. I know how tricky it can be to juggle day-to-day tech tasks while running a business, so please bear me in mind!
Local Websites, Local People
All of my clients are local, and I take pride in working with businesses in Bourton-on-the-Water and the surrounding villages, including Upper Slaughter, Upper Rissington, and beyond. I’ve even worked with clients as far as Chipping Norton (where I grew up) and Cheltenham.
Being local means I can offer a personal, hands-on approach, ensuring you get the support you need, whether it’s a brand-new website, updates, or ongoing assistance. If you’re in the area and need a reliable web designer, I’d love to work with you!
Flexible Payments – Working Around You
I want to work with you to make getting a great website as easy and affordable as possible. Whether you prefer to pay upfront, in installments, or spread the cost, I’m happy to discuss what works best for you.
We’ll agree on fees, payment dates, and deadlines upfront, all documented in a Statement of Work so everything is clear and organized. My goal is to make sure you get the website you need without financial stress, so let’s chat and find the best solution!
Clear
& Simple Design
I believe a great website should be clean, modern, and easy to use—there’s no point in having a great-looking site if people struggle to find what they need. That’s why I focus on simple, clear designs that make it easy for visitors to navigate, whether they’re checking out your services, browsing your work, or making a purchase.
I make sure every site I build looks good and works smoothly, with fast-loading pages and a layout that makes sense. Whether you need a business website, portfolio, or online shop, I’ll create something that’s professional, user-friendly, and helps you put your best foot forward online.
Ongoing Support & Staying Connected
My work doesn’t stop once your website goes live—I like to keep in touch and stay involved. I’ll send follow-up emails to check in on how things are going because I genuinely care about the progress of your business.
You can always reach out anytime if you need updates, want to expand your site, or just need general IT support. I’m here to help, whether it’s a small tweak or a bigger change, so you’re never left on your own.
I also love recommendations—both giving and receiving! If I can recommend your business to others, I absolutely will, and I truly appreciate it when my clients do the same. Supporting local businesses goes both ways, and I’m always happy to help where I can.
Your Dream. My passion.
I love what i do
I genuinely love what I do! I enjoy helping you and your business create an online presence you’re proud of. My goal is to make the web design process stress-free and enjoyable, so you end up with a site that not only looks great but also works effectively for your business.
With a background also in retail and customer service, I understand the importance of clear communication and approachability. I know that working together on a website is a partnership, and I want you to feel comfortable reaching out with any questions or concerns at any stage. Being approachable and easy to talk to is key to building a successful relationship, and I aim to be there for you every step of the way.
