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.
Tell me about your projectSwindon 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.
