Swindon · SN1 – SN25
Web Designer in Swindon.
Swindon is 30 minutes up the A361 and home to thousands of ambitious SMEs, the ones most agencies ignore for being "too small" and most templates patronise for being "just a local business". I do neither. Bespoke websites, booking systems and web applications for Swindon businesses that have outgrown the off-the-shelf tools.
Swindon's a bigger town, so here's who I can help.
Swindon covers everything from Old Town's independents to the Dorcan and Greenbridge industrial estates. Different businesses, different web needs, same standards.
Trades & service businesses
Electricians, plumbers, kitchen fitters, landscapers. I've built demo sites showing exactly how, have a look at Sparks Electrical and Flames Kitchen, both built around a fictional Swindon trades business.
Growing SMEs
The kind of business that started on a free Wix site, has now hit a ceiling, and needs something it actually owns. Real database, real integrations, real speed.
Specialist e-commerce
Niche products, subscription boxes, made-to-order. The kind of sales logic Shopify forces you to hack around. I'll build it properly, Stripe, stock, shipping, tax, all joined up.
Booking-led businesses
Salons, studios, clinics, driving instructors. Automated reminders, deposit-taking, no-show protection and one clean diary, without £50/month SaaS tax.
Local enough to meet. Experienced enough to deliver.
Swindon has plenty of digital agencies, and many are good. What you're mostly choosing between is big-agency hourly rates and a faceless team, or a seasoned freelancer who'll still be your web person in five years. I'm the second one.
Every project I deliver is hand-built on Laravel, owned entirely by you, and free of the plugin supply-chain risks that make WordPress sites ticking time-bombs. If you want to see what that looks like on the inside, have a read of Why Bespoke.

A proper one-page site, live in about a week.

Swindon questions I get asked a lot.
Things Swindon businesses usually want to know before picking up the phone.
Do you travel to Swindon for meetings?
Yes, 30 minutes up the A361. I'll come to your office, workshop or trade counter. Most Swindon clients prefer the first meeting in person, and then we switch to email/calls for the day-to-day.
Do you have examples of work aimed at Swindon businesses?
Two of my demo sites, Sparks Electrical and Flames Kitchen, are built around fictional Swindon businesses. Both show what a real Swindon trades or takeaway site would look like.
Why pick me over a Swindon digital agency?
Agencies charge you for their account manager, their office, and their overheads. I charge you for the code. If you want one senior developer who designs, builds, hosts and supports your site personally, that's me. If you want a team of juniors behind a slide deck, an agency is probably the better fit.
I run a warehouse / trade counter in Dorcan, can you build more than a website?
Yes. Quote tools, driver portals, stock look-ups, customer account areas, the sort of small web app that would cost £200/month on SaaS. Almost always cheaper to own outright.
