With 25+ years’ experience in the design and web industry, I combine creative design, technical expertise and a genuine understanding of how businesses need to perform online.
Based in Wilmslow, Cheshire, I work directly with businesses across Cheshire, Manchester and the wider North West — providing the quality and expertise you’d expect from an established agency, with the personal service and value of working directly with an experienced freelance web designer.
I work with startups, small businesses, established companies and growing organisations across a wide range of industries.
Let’s create something ambitious — whatever stage your business is at.
It needs to look professional, communicate what makes you different and make it incredibly easy for potential customers to take the next step.
Whether you’re launching a new business, replacing an outdated website or taking an established company to the next level, I’ll create a website designed around your business, your customers and your ambitions.
I’ve spent more than 25 years working within the design and web industry, including many years working in the fast-paced environment of professional design agencies.
For 8 years now, I have brought that experience directly to my own clients through Ambitious Design.
There are no account managers and no layers of people between you and the person actually creating your website.
You work directly with me from our first conversation through to design, development, launch and ongoing support.
That means I get to know your business, understand what you’re trying to achieve and create a website that genuinely reflects you.
You receive agency-level experience without the traditional agency overheads — and a much more personal relationship along the way.
I love great design. But your website needs to do much more than simply look good. It should work hard for your business.
Every Ambitious Design website combines creative thinking with practical considerations including usability, responsive design, search engine optimisation and clear customer journeys. The result is a website that doesn’t just look the part — it has a purpose.
SEO is therefore considered throughout the design and development process rather than simply being added as an afterthought.
From page structure and headings to content, mobile usability and technical foundations, your website will be built to give search engines a clear understanding of your business, services and location.
For local businesses, this is particularly important when you want to attract customers searching for your services across Wilmslow, Cheshire, Manchester and the North West.
From simple service-based websites through to larger corporate websites, portfolios, blogs and eCommerce stores, every website is individually designed around your requirements.
Starting from scratch? I'll help turn your ideas into a professional online presence that gives your business the credibility it deserves.
If your current website feels dated, difficult to use or no longer represents your business, I'll give it a fresh start with a modern, responsive WordPress redesign.
Sell your products or services online with a professionally designed WooCommerce website that’s simple for your customers to use — and just as simple for you to manage. Or, create a members-only area and restrict access to exclusive content for paying customers or pre-approved visitors.
Already have a WordPress website? I can provide ongoing maintenance, updates and support to help keep your website secure, current and working as it should.
I can help with all the technical essentials too — from domain names and reliable website hosting to professional email setup. Whether you’re starting from scratch or already have everything in place, I’ll make sure it all works seamlessly with your website.
I build every website with strong SEO essentials in place, creating solid foundations for your business to be found online and making it ready for more dedicated SEO work as your business grows.
I provide easy-to-follow training videos tailored to your website, giving you the confidence to manage and update it yourself — without needing to call me every time you want to make a change.
I can also help with logos and branded literature, giving your business a consistent, professional look that works seamlessly alongside your website.
