About ADB Web Designs

One person, from the first conversation to launch

ADB Web Designs is my freelance web design and development business. When you get in touch, you’ll speak to me. I’ll work through your ideas with you, design the pages and build the website.

That means you can ask the person doing the work why something has been designed a particular way, how a feature will work or what you’ll need to manage after launch. You don’t need to turn up with a technical specification; a conversation about your business is a good place to start.

A website you can use, not just look at

The design matters, but so does everything around it. Customers need to find their way through the pages, forms need to work, and the website needs to be comfortable to use on a phone. Search engines need to be able to read it, too.

I build with Next.js, WordPress, Shopify and Squarespace. I’ll help you choose a platform based on what you need the website to do and how you want to update it. A custom build can make sense for one business; an established platform can be a better fit for another.

New builds, fresh starts and website rescue

You might be starting a business, replacing a website you’ve outgrown or adding an online shop. I can help with the design and build, move content from your existing site and get the new version ready for launch.

I also help when things have gone wrong. My work with Australian travel business Welcome to Travel began with a hacked, malware-infected website. Recovering compromised sites is part of what I offer, alongside new websites and redesigns.

Once a website is live, hosting and maintenance are available to keep it looked after. I also work on technical and local SEO, helping address the website problems that can make it harder for customers to find you.

Manchester-based, with clients further afield

I work with businesses in Manchester, Salford, Wigan and Lancashire, as well as clients elsewhere in the UK, Australia and the US.

For remote projects, we can talk on video calls, share designs online and review the build together. You’ll still work directly with me throughout, wherever your business is based.

The other sides of ADB

ADB Web Designs focuses on websites. I also run ADB Software Solutions for bespoke software, mobile apps and integrations, and ADB Technology for cloud infrastructure, migrations and deployment pipelines.

If your website needs something beyond the usual pages and forms, we can talk about that too. The three businesses cover different types of work, with the same person behind them.
