Human-centred web design

 Bold design, backed by strategic business consideration, and critical analysis: often the key to success is about asking the right questions.

Not just another designer

Websites design crafted with care for detail

I put the effort in to showcase your branding, taking the time to actively understand what makes you and your business different so we can build a presence that engages your ideal visitors.

Through an iterative design process to ensure you are delighted with your website presence.

I help clients figure out what they want even when they don’t know yet. That’s part of the service you are buying into: it’s not just web design.

What you get is more than just a website

I work with people who want to stand out.

You don’t need to have it all worked out.  I’ll tell you when something doesn’t make sense, and offer alternative perspectives to shape your ideas clearly.

You’ll gain clarity.
Direction.
Strategic positioning within your market.

A presence that works for  you: I’m here to help your business succeed online, not just “have a website.”

Responsive Communication

Response to any messages or calls within 48 hrs

Even if it’s simply to say, “I’m on it.”

I won’t leave you wondering what’s going on.

(Barring any medical emergencies)

I throughly enjoyed working with Joe on my website. He was cool, calm and easy to work with and explained things very well. All of my ideas and questions were dealt with efficiently and I was really happy with the final website. It was ideal for me to be able to work online and through whatsapp messages on the project also, so it doesnt matter where someone is location wise, you can work with Joe! Would highly recommend!!

Joe Hendley did an outstanding job designing my 6-8 page website for my accounting practice. The end result is exactly what I needed—clean, professional, and easy to navigate. What I appreciated most about working with Joe was his ability to extract the best material from me. He has a real gift for guiding the process, helping me clarify my message, and ensuring the site truly reflects my business. Joe was also a fantastic sounding board for my wayward ideas, offering constructive feedback and refining them into something great. Highly recommend him for anyone looking for a talented and patient web designer!

I had been trying to consolidate all my artwork into one portfolio and online shop for years. I hired Joe to assist me in creating a new website and finally launching my print store online. The outcome has been splendid, and I’m thrilled with the final layout. Through a meticulous design process, clarification, and execution, Joe’s attention to detail and creative flair seamlessly brought it all together. Thank you 🙂

Joe completely re-designed my website, giving it a fresher and more modern style. He captured what I was looking for, designed a number of options for me to choose from and then went ahead and built my website. The whole process was very easy and I am extremely pleased with the final result (www.pragmatiksconsulting.co.uk).

Words In Action

Sandra Ganley Dance Classes

Although Sandra already had a website for her Jiving Juniors kids’ classes, she wanted a fresh website to bring together both her kids’ and adults’ dance classes under one branded website. Additionally, she wanted to allow her customers to book classes online, buy gift vouchers and access her online dance courses (via Vimeo).

We worked together to create a clean, modern design with a tiled layout, simple online shop, and private video access. 

With clear branding and collaborative input throughout, the result is a site that’s easy to use and matches her brand’s personality Her customers receive clear, custom designed order completed emails.
