UK Freelance Web Designer. Straight Talking. Great Websites.
I am not an agency with account managers and project coordinators. I am one person who does the work, and you deal with me directly from start to finish.
My name is John Hitchens. I am a freelance web designer based in the UK, and I help small businesses get online with websites that actually do their job - look professional, rank on Google, and bring in customers.
I started doing this because I saw too many business owners getting a raw deal. Agencies charging thousands for a basic site. Freelancers disappearing mid-project. Endless back and forth with no clear end date. I knew there was a better way to do it.
So I kept it simple. One price, fast turnaround, honest communication. You tell me about your business, I build you a website that works, and I hand it over. Done.
How I work.
Everything I build is done by hand on WordPress. That means your website is lightweight, fast, and easy for you to update yourself after I hand it over. I design every site individually around the business it represents - because your business is not the same as anyone else's.
I also take care of the things most people do not want to think about - SEO, mobile optimisation, page speed, security. It is all built in from the start, not bolted on as an extra cost.
Most websites are done within 2-3 working days. I do not drag things out, and I do not disappear. You will always know where things are at.
My approachFair prices. Honest advice. No fuss.
I believe a good website should be affordable. You should not have to remortgage to get your business online. That is why I charge a flat £400 for a full website build - no hourly rates, no surprise invoices, no extras you did not ask for.
Every site I build comes with full SEO setup, mobile optimisation, SSL security, contact forms, and a walkthrough so you know exactly how to use it. If you want ongoing help after launch, I offer a £100/month support plan that covers content updates, blog posts, and maintenance. No contracts - cancel whenever you like.

Whether you are ready to go or just want to ask a few questions, drop me a message. I am a real person - not a chatbot, not a call centre. I reply personally and usually within a couple of hours.
