I am a part-time web designer with over 5 years commercial experience in building ecommerce websites for desktop, tablet and mobile devices. From setting up domains, web-hosting, security and email accounts to creating fully-functioning ecommerce websites with custom features and functions, I can help bring your website ideas to life.

- Setting up WordPress and SSL certificates using cPanel.
- Managing core website files using cPanel and FTP.
- Setting up themes and plugins on sites.

I have over 5 years commercial experience working as a full-time web designer for 2 different companies. You can view their website I created here. During my time here, I developed multiple bespoke WordPress websites for in-house brands, one of which the company recently sold for over £1 million.
I once replaced one of the company’s existing websites with a new bespoke ecommerce website containing custom label design services, sample ordering forms and contact/quotation channels that met private label manufacturing needs. You can view the site here.
I’ve also worked closely with the director of the sports nutrition brand, MSC Nutrition to help transfer the company’s existing site database to a new domain and create a brand new bespoke ecommerce website for the company.
In my spare time, I like to improve my website-making skills by learning how to use different pieces of software. From using Adobe Photoshop and Adobe After Effects to edit/create videos and graphics to using an online software called Stacks to develop mobile applications, I am always trying to make my websites stand out from the rest.
