Website Development

Unlike a lot of modern “web designers” (who are really just glorified design agencies), I am capable of designing bespoke websites from scratch, rather than simply utilising existing templates through WordPress, which is far less efficient and flexible in appearance. I utilise Hugo for static site creation, which allows for incredibly fast and efficient websites. This provides a much better user experience than traditional website frameworks such as WordPress, as pages load much faster and are more responsive for users when accessing them.

I also have experience in utilising WordPress for website creation where necessary, and I am capable of optimising both WordPress and Hugo to use much less bandwidth when serving pages, especially with images. This allows for such websites to be much more accessible to users without high-speed internet connections, as a lot of internet users in Cornwall are.

Take this page for example, it is less than 60KB! Most pages on the web are usually at least 1-4MB, which is an incredible injustice both to the websites' user base, but also the operator of the website, as many internet users will close a website without even waiting for it to load if it takes more than 3 seconds to load. That is not very much time at all!

I have previously worked with Climate-i to refine the appearance of their website and ensure their server operates smoothly and effectively when serving users.
