Frequently asked questions
Typically the websites I build cost from £2,500 but the final cost depends on a number of factors including:
- The size and complexity of the website
- If you need my help in producing your website content – photos, illustrations, icons and text
- If you need me to purchase a domain name and hosting on your behalf
- If you need commercial licenses for WordPress plugins or web fonts
It depends on the size and complexity of the website and what stage you’re at with creating your content but a website project can typically take anywhere from 4-8 weeks.
Yes, I offer website support plans so you can concentrate on running your business and not your website. Support plans include core software updates, full site backups and a block of priority time every month to make improvements.
Yes, if you need a new visual identity for your business I can work with you to create a logo, suggest typography and colour palettes and produce a range of brand assets including icons and illustrations.
If you already have a visual identity in place I can work within its guidelines to make sure your website looks totally on brand.
Not at all. I’m based in Stockport and work with small businesses in Marple, Hazel Grove, Cheadle, Bramhall, Wilmslow, Poynton, Macclesfield and Glossop. However I also work remotely with a number of clients based all over the UK.
Kind words from my web design and branding clients
The Stockport County Supporters’ Co-operative were looking for a web designer who could truly reflect the professionalism of the football club. John delivered exactly that, creating a fantastic website for our organisation. We’re extremely pleased with the final result and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him.

I was looking for a web designer in Stockport at the start of the year and found John. He’s designed a fantastic website for my business that’s already generating enquiries and has also redesigned my logo. From the off he’s explained everything in very simple terms and guided me through the whole process. David Barnes, Colebarn
John’s advice and feedback were invaluable as was the support provided after the project completed. Great quality of work, very professional and easy to deal with too. Gareth Watkin-Jones, Mothax
