UX Design

I do user experience design — research, journey mapping, prototyping and usability testing. I come from a product design background and bake UX into every decision.

I work with small businesses across West and South-West London. Bespoke from the first wireframe, transparent on price, joined-up across the disciplines I deliver.

UX at every level

Here’s something nine years of running this studio has taught me that a decade of in-house product work never quite did: when you work on a big product with users already inside the system, it’s easy to believe UX stops at the interface — and that marketing, branding and being found are somebody else’s department. Then you work with real businesses of every size, from independently local to globally recognised, and you see the truth of it: user experience is about impact relative to the size of the business. For a product team, redesigning a button can be a whole feature. For an independent business, the button barely matters until the journey around it exists at all.

Which is why every service on this site is really the same discipline pointed at a different moment of your customer’s journey. Before anyone experiences your website they experience your brand — the UX of the first impression. Before that, they have to find you at all: search, AI answers and the map are the UX of being found. Ads and amplification are the UX of the first click. The website itself is the UX of deciding — that thirty-second window where trust is won or lost. And care and hosting are the UX of nothing ever breaking once it’s all working.

Different budgets buy different depth — a focused landing page and a full studio partnership are not the same investment — but they are the same thinking, applied at the level your business is at today. That’s the honest version of what UX means for a small business, and it’s the lens behind every recommendation I’ll ever make to you, including the recommendation to start smaller than you think.

Common questions

What people ask before starting.

How much does a website cost?

It depends on the scope, but our builds start at £650 for a landing page and £1,400–£5,866 for a custom website. E-commerce starts at £4,150. For ongoing support, WP Care plans start at £59/month, SEO retainers from £749/month, and our all-in Studio packages from £1,350/month.

However a project is priced, we break it into milestones — each with a fixed price tied to a working deliverable. You never pay 50% of the total cost up front. Instead, you pay 50% of the first milestone to start it. When that milestone is complete, you pay the remaining 50% of it together with the 50% deposit on the next milestone — and that's what unlocks the next phase of work. The pattern continues until the final milestone is delivered, at which point you pay the remaining 50% of it.

The effect: cash flow stays smooth, you always see a working deliverable before paying for the next, and we never carry more than half a milestone of unbilled work.

How long does a project take and what does delivery look like?

Indicative timings:

  • Landing page: ~4 weeks from kick-off
  • Custom website: 4–8 weeks
  • E-commerce build: 8–12 weeks
  • Brand work: 2–8 weeks depending on tier

Delivery is broken into milestones built around working functionality, not internal phases like “design” or “build” in isolation. Think of it like an MVP and then MVP+1, MVP+2 — at the end of every milestone you have a live, usable thing you can see and sign off on.

For a typical website project, the milestones look something like this:

  1. MVP — A working homepage and core navigation on staging, with your brand applied. Real, clickable, mobile-friendly.
  2. MVP+1 — All inner pages built, forms wired, analytics installed.
  3. MVP+2 — SEO foundations, schema, performance optimisations, content polish.
  4. Launch — Final QA, DNS cutover, hand-over docs.

You'll always know what we're working on each week and what's due back from you. We never start the next milestone until the previous one is signed off and paid for, which keeps surprises out of the project.

What if I need a bit of everything — can you do that?

Yes, and this is what our Studio packages are built for. Instead of piecing together a freelance designer, a marketing agency, a developer, and a hosting account, you get all of it from one team on one monthly fee:

  • Studio Lite — £1,350/month. SEO retainer + GBP management + WP Care + 6 hours/month of design, dev or content time.
  • Studio Standard — £2,495/month. Bigger SEO scope, 13 hours/month design + dev, quarterly brand reviews.
  • Studio Pro — £3,850/month. The whole stack — 18 hours/month of flex time, weekly GBP posts, monthly cross-discipline strategy session.

Studio is best for businesses who'd otherwise hire a junior designer plus a part-time marketer. It's also how we work with most of our long-standing clients — they like having one point of contact for the whole digital side.

Do you offer ongoing maintenance after launch?

Yes — four WP Care plans, £59–£259/month, covering plugin and core updates, daily backups, security and performance monitoring, and content tweaks. Most clients pair their build with at least our Essentials plan so the site stays healthy and up to date.
