FF Websites - custom web design with a free design draft
Great websites shouldn't cost the earth or stress you out.
Hi, I'm Fred
The first step of the process is getting to know each other a little, so here's a bit about me before we get into your business.
I started building websites and projects for myself and ended up creating a business out of it. I build websites for all types of businesses and I'd love to work with you on your next website, whether that's a brand-new site or revamping your current one.
I try to do things a bit differently because I've seen too many companies get stung with huge fees and then left with a site they can't maintain.
I build websites that grow with your business, and the pricing is clear and straightforward so you can plan ahead.
This is how simple I want it to be.
Once your site is built, I don't just disappear. I stick around to keep it running smoothly and looking its best.
Need something updated? Just drop me a message. No waiting days for a designer to come back with an invoice, changes are all part of the service.
No more constantly going back and forth. One message, and it's sorted.
Client
Love what you see? Let's build yours.
How It Works
Get in Touch
Hit the Work With Me button above and fill in the short form. It helps us learn about your business and what you need, and then we'll book a time to speak.
We Talk
We'll have a call to discuss your requirements, goals, and timelines.
Your Quote
From our conversation, we'll put together a clear quote so you know exactly what you're looking at. No surprises.
Draft, On Us
If the quote works for you, we build a draft of your site, no charge yet. We won't invoice until we've shown you something you love. The draft uses the info you've provided to create something tailored to your business.
Your Feedback
Happy with the draft? Great, we move to the full build. Not quite right? No problem. We take your feedback and make amendments until you're satisfied.
Go Live
Your site is built, polished, and ready. Pending your final approval, we connect it to your domain and you've got a shiny new website ready to show off.
Still Not Convinced?
Look, maybe this isn't the right fit for you, and that's okay. But I put this table together so you'd at least have a way to compare your options side by side.
