About Me

I’m Richard, a freelance website designer and developer based in Hereford with a passion for helping startups, small businesses and local charities thrive through compelling visual identities. I combine creativity and innovation with years of technical expertise to deliver websites that not only look amazing but also work seamlessly to connect you with your audience.

​

Before going freelance, I spent 35 years in the corporate world, working with a mix of blue-chip companies and startups across banking, communications, and fintech. I started out as a software engineer and eventually became a corporate technology development manager. Along the way, I gained  invaluable experience in brand, design, and marketing, collaborating with diverse teams to deliver impactful digital solutions.

​

In 2020, I made the decision to leave the fast pace of London behind and start something more personal. Now, I focus on projects that matter to me - helping clients grow their businesses and tell their stories with clarity and creativity. I know what it takes to build something from scratch, and I bring that same energy and care to every project I take on.

​

What makes me different? I bring together deep technical know-how and a strong design sensibility - plus decades of corporate experience.  I understand that every business has a story, and I’m here to help you tell yours in a way that’s authentic, engaging, and impactful.  I work on just one project at a time, so you’ll get my full attention and a genuinely collaborative process from start to finish to ensure that you receive the focus and dedication you deserve.

​

Whether you're starting fresh or need a digital refresh, I’m here to help with thoughtful, affordable solutions that are built to last. My goal isn’t just to build you a website - it’s to help your business thrive online.
