Freelance web design and SEO
I build websites that get found, and fix the ones that don’t.
Bespoke WordPress and Shopify, built to be found rather than just to look right. You deal with me from the first call to the last fix.
Worked on, in house and freelance
What I do
Build it, rank it, keep it running.
Most people do one of these. Doing all three is why the build never fights the SEO, and the SEO is never bolted onto a site that cannot carry it. All three are me, not a team you never meet.
Web design
Web design and build
Bespoke WordPress and Shopify. Built to load fast, to be edited by you without ringing me, and structured so search engines can read it properly from day one.

Search
Search engine optimisation
The reason most sites rank and still get nothing. Technical foundations, on page relevance and local search, reported in clicks and enquiries rather than positions.

Care plans
Care and maintenance
Updates, backups, monitoring and the small fixes that never get done. A site left alone for a year is a site that has quietly stopped working.

How it works
What you actually get from me
-
You tell me the problem
What the site is not doing, and what a good outcome looks like for you.
-
I look properly
I go through the site before we speak, so the call is about answers not questions.
-
A fixed price, or an honest no
A defined scope with a number against it, or a straight answer that I am not the right fit.
-
I do the work
You hear from me as it happens, and you get the numbers afterwards either way.
About
You get the person who does the work.
I take on a small number of clients so each one gets proper attention. You explain the problem to the person who is going to solve it, and you get a straight answer on whether it is worth doing at all.
Behind that is ecommerce and internal platform work inside national retailers, Studio Retail and Chillblast Group among them. Same work, same standard, without the agency in between.
Why work with me
You are hiring one person, and that is the point.
- You talk to the person doing the work
- No account manager relaying messages, no handover to someone you have never spoken to. The person you brief is the person writing the code.
- I will tell you when something is not worth doing
- If a job will not move the needle I would rather say so than take the money and watch it do nothing.
- The site stays yours
- Content you can edit without ringing me, on a platform you already own. No proprietary builder that locks you in.
Common questions
The things people ask first
What does a website actually cost?
It depends entirely on what it has to do, which is why I quote a fixed price against a written scope rather than a day rate. Small brochure sites and ecommerce builds are very different jobs.
How long does SEO take to work?
Technical fixes can show in a few weeks. Anything genuinely competitive takes three to six months before the numbers move properly, and I would rather tell you that now than promise you something faster. You get a report either way, in clicks and enquiries rather than positions, so you can see what is happening instead of taking my word for it.
Do you work with agencies?
Yes, a good part of my work is white label for agencies. You brief me, I build it, it goes out under your name and I stay out of the way. Agency rates are different to direct rates, so say which you are and I will quote accordingly.
What if you are busy?
I take on a small number of clients at a time, so sometimes the honest answer is that I cannot start for a few weeks. You will get a date rather than a maybe, and if it is urgent and I cannot do it properly I will say so rather than take the job and let it drift.
What clients say
In their words, not mine.
The level of detail and commitment Aaron brings is unmatched. From SEO to design, everything was delivered with precision and care. Our online visibility has never been better.
Aaron’s work speaks volumes. From start to finish he understood our brand and vision. The end result was a powerful, sleek website that truly reflects who we are.
Aaron built the site from scratch and it was the first time the brand actually looked like us online. He handled the design and the build end to end, and I could update it myself afterwards without going back to him every time.
We use Aaron for development we would rather not hand to a junior. The work comes back the way it was specced, on the date he said, and it goes out under our name without us having to check it twice.
Aaron set up the shop and the tracking, and explained what was worth doing and what was not. He was straight about where the money was better spent, which is not what you usually get.
