Web Design Portfolio
(Plus Web Development, SEO & More…)
Having built hundreds of websites for businesses ranging from first-time sole traders around Cardiff and Bristol to large national organisations, I know what web design factors really help them succeed. Few web designers will admit this, but whilst visual design does matter a lot, “pretty” isn’t automatically profitable. That’s why I also provide SEO, Social Media Marketing and other digital marketing services. I also offer things like bespoke web development, for when you need to go beyond the limits of popular systems like WordPress.
Most of these truly business-building services aren’t very visual. So, a simple web design portfolio of screenshots wouldn’t really tell you much. So, I’ve added some notes below to provide more information on what I’ve actually provided for each client — I hope they help.
Veins.Wales — vascular surgeon
Veins.Wales
Editable Website
With surgeries in Cardiff and Newport, South Wales, top international vascular surgeon Mr. David Lewis needed an editable brochure website to represent his practice online in a professional yet striking manner. The site also lets him add information pages for his patients, outlining the many conditions and treatments he deals with.
JB Cosmetic — leading skin care specialist
JB Cosmetic
Content Marketing
Leading UK cosmetic nurse Julie Brackenbury knows the value of great website content — and creates a lot of it herself. Still, with established clinics in Bristol, Bath, Cheltenham and Malmesbury, setting up South Wales branches proved time-consuming. So my Content Marketing services kept her site supplied with fresh, engaging articles, under her direction.
Festival Medical Services — UK event medics
Festival Medical Services
Bespoke Web Development
FMS provides medical services for major UK festivals, including Glastonbury and Reading. They needed bespoke web apps for patient triage, event planning, membership and team management.

Dancing Skies — fantasy & wildlife art
Dancing Skies
Artist Portfolio & E-Commerce
A portfolio site for fantasy and wildlife artist Helen Frost Rich. Helen wanted a simple design that reflected her inspirations — the ethereal aurora, birds and other creatures of the air. Her site also includes e-commerce, integrated with two print-on-demand systems — one to let visitors buy her art as high-quality prints and another offering it printed on t-shirts and similar merchandise.
Withycombe Fair — artificial flowers
Withycombe Fair
SEO for E-Commerce
Withycombe Fair has been supplying fine artificial flowers and faux plants for weddings, films, theatres, conferences and other special events since 1989. Their online shop offers a huge range of silk blooms and bouquets. Still, growing competition from less specialist stores has undermined their search positioning, so my flexible SEO plans are helping to restore that.

Natur Cymru — Nature of Wales
Natur Cymru — Nature of Wales
Website Maintenance
Natur Cymru has been established as the premier nature magazine for Wales since 1955. Its online archive of past issues has suffered from cuts to public funding in recent years. Despite a great appeal from popular naturalist Iolo Williams in 2017, it still needs to develop new revenue sources and a stronger online presence, so I’m helping out. Please link to Natur Cymru, or share it with your friends — you’d be surprised how much that matters.
