Freelance Website Designer Leeds Crafting Beautiful, User-Friendly Websites That Work for You Website Design

Coming from a graphic design background, working as a freelance website designer came naturally plus I also studied film, television and animation at college which meant I already had the skills for creating visual work for screen.

Website design is a combination of various disciplines, including graphic design, user experience (UX), and front-end development, aimed at delivering an effective and engaging online presence. Whether you’re designing a business website or an e-commerce platform, the goal of website design is to create a site that is visually appealing, user-friendly and optimised for performance.

I create sites that are easy to navigate, and provide a smooth experience across a variety of devices, from desktops to mobile phones and tablets.

Other areas of experience that I have are creating accessible websites built to accessible standards WCAG 2.2 AA, ecommerce websites (OpenCart, WooCommerce, Actinic, Shopify), multilingual websites (including Chinese), CMS Websites (WordPress & Joomla), SEO, html, css, website hosting platforms, domain registration, social media and email template designs.

Freelance WordPress Website Designer

WordPress is one of the most popular content management systems (CMS), known for its flexibility, ease of use, and extensive customisation options. As a freelance website designer I have built many websites on WordPress and it is my go to CMS.

Using WordPress I can design a website that meets your specific needs, with good navigation, the right theme, and customise it effectively to create a professional, user-friendly website that engages visitors and profiles your business.

Designing Responsive Websites

Creating a website that works seamlessly across all screen sizes has become essential. This is where responsive web design comes into play.

All websites that I design are responsive ready which ensures a website’s layout, images, and content automatically adjust to fit the screen of the device being used. Whether someone is browsing from a large desktop monitor or a mobile phone, responsive design makes sure the website is easy to read, navigate, and interact.

Responsive web design is vital for providing an optimal user experience (UX) and boosting SEO rankings. Google prioritises mobile-friendly websites in search results, so a responsive site not only meets users’ expectations but also helps businesses rank higher in search engines.

SEO (Search Engine Optimisation)

Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) is the process of optimising your website to improve its visibility in search engine results, making it easier for users to find your content when they search for relevant topics. The primary goal of SEO is to drive organic traffic (non-paid) to your website by ensuring it ranks higher on search engines like Google, Bing and Yahoo.

When I look at the SEO for your website I examine elements such as content quality, keyword optimisation, meta tags, page titles, and site structure. These all play a role in achieving a good ranking position as well as other factors such as backlinks (links from other websites) and your social media presence.

SEO is a long-term strategy that requires ongoing effort, as search engine algorithms constantly evolve. It doesn’t happen overnight and can take anywhere from 3 months to 12 months to acheive the desired results.

I have worked with many businesses increasing their SEO profile and ranking position so that their websites appear on page 1 or the top of page 2.

If you’d like me to create an SEO report please contact me and I will be happy to supply this for you.
