I do 2 types of website design. WordPress websites for when the client wants to manage and update their own content – and then smaller, cheaper websites in Adobe Muse for clients that just want a relatively basic and inexpensive brochureware-type of website – and one they only need to update a few times a year, which I do my side. Below I explain the differences in more detail:
OK, so these sweet little websites are for the client that just wants to showcase themselves or their product in a clean, simple way. No bells and whistles, just an online brochure, effectively. I need to make all changes as the backend and updates are regrettably no longer supported by Adobe, but Muse sites still work! And for what they are they work well. Depending on complexity and amount of pages / comtent an Adobe Muse site costs in the region of £500 – £2500.
My own private Doodling illustration website where I showcase the doodles I sell online on various microstock platforms like NounProject, Adobe Stock, Shutterstock, Vectorstock and IconFinder
One of many race websites I have done. This is a basic single page website with buttons which anchor downwards on the same page rather than loading new ones. These single page websites are mobile friendly as it requires less bandwidth to slide down a page than load a brand new one. An Accordion Slider holds all the main content in a neat way. A great solution for a website where you have a lot of information but need the site to be lightweight

Another running websites but this is a Company that organises a few races every year. This is also a basic single page website with buttons which anchor downwards on the same page rather than loading new ones. These single page websites are mobile friendly as it requires less bandwidth to slide down a page than load a brand new one.
A great 10K race by Fleet & Crookham in Fleet. Fairly basic again, but for a 10K race – or any other sporting event, it’s perfect!
Badly in need of a makeover! It’s my own Muse website I built about 6 years ago to showcase all my sport specific branding and needs an update and an easier User Journey. New website coming soon
You may notice the Fleet 10K and this website are similar. Well structurally they are pretty identical so I can just save as this website and create a new sporting event using this as a templte. A cost effective way of making a clean, no frills, functional website
These websites are a lot more complex and can be more expensive and are perfect if the client is comfortable making their own changes to the content in the WP backend editor. WordPress is the world’s most popular website platform by quite a way, and is great for changing out content regularly. This site you are on is a WordPress site running the amazing Enfold Theme – a fantastic theme which most of my WordPress Sites use. I usually do the design and the easy implementation, but once I get to having to hard code anything, get into html coding or do mobile responsive adjustments I weave in my WordPress guru in Washington state, so these sites are a bit more expensive. They can range from about £2000 – £10000 depending on complexity.
My own website. The one you are on at the moment. I built is all myself – but my Worpress guru Slade did some adjustments to make it more mobile responsive.
WordPress and Enfold have a lot more ‘bells and whistles’ than Muse sites, like the Advanced Layer Slider in this site
A creative Agency that I Art Direct for. This is also an Enfold themed WordPress site and shows the flexibility you can have with WordPress.
An example of an Enfold driven single page website working off downward navigation anchors – smooth and easy UX (User Experience)
A clean looking website on Antique Clock restoration. Large sliders work well to showcase the various services.
Another Enfold themed website with advanced layer slider. A great race too!
