The inception of Pedivan's website marked my entry into the world of Wix and web design. Pedivan, a bicycle courier service in London, was a venture I embarked on with my best friend in 2017. Starting with just two bikes, we juggled roles as riders, managers, and mechanics. Limited funds meant we couldn't hire a web designer, so I took on the task, recognizing every business, regardless of size, needs an online presence.

This DIY project on Wix wasn't just a necessity; it became a passion. As I continued my courier work, I offered web design services to our business clients who lacked an online platform. These were my initial forays into professional web design.

Gradually, my enthusiasm shifted more towards web design than logistics. I eventually sold my Pedivan stake to delve deeper into web development. Today, Pedivan operates across London, Berlin, and Paris with over 100 staff members, and I continue to manage their expansive website, now a comprehensive, multilingual platform with numerous pages.

This is a very basic one-pager landing page for a London-based catering service.

I played around a bit with the concept of rolling sushis, and added some extra tweaks with sliding images via scrolling effects and animations.

However, the website is super basic and, of course fully responsive.

If you need a basic website of this size, I can build it for you for $400-$450 and it can be ready to publish in 4-5 days!

Elizabeth contacted me seeking help with her business, Parent-Help, which provides support for families and parents facing various challenges. She had a WordPress site created by a freelancer from Fiverr, but it was not only unprofessional in appearance but also dysfunctional.

Initially, Elizabeth wondered if I could enhance her existing website. However, I suggested a fresh start would be more beneficial. Given the range of services she offers and the need for multiple forms to gather data from clients and employees, we were looking at a complex build of approximately 25 pages.

After launching the new website, Parent Help transitioned from being Elizabeth's side project to her primary occupation, allowing her to leave her day job and invest her full energy into her enterprise. It's gratifying to know the website I developed played a role in her business flourishing.

A friend introduced me to Roan Pulchan, a London-based handyman pursuing the trade part-time alongside his full-time job. Initially, Roan's outreach was limited to distributing leaflets locally without any digital footprint.

During our conversations, we explored transforming his side job into a reputable brand through a professional Wix website. We began from the ground up, engaging in thorough discussions to capture the essence of his services before launching his online platform.

From the outset, I managed his Google AdWords campaigns, and over three years, this strategic online presence has garnered Roan a diverse clientele, ranging from private residents to corporate entities. Today, 'Pulchan On Call' stands as a bustling, thriving business, boasting a robust team of skilled tradespeople ready to tackle any task in homes or offices across London.

Barber Bro's Southwark is a quintessential neighborhood barbershop in London, nestled near the south bank of the River Thames. Its owner, Peter, entrusted me to create a website that mirrors the establishment's ethos—a blend of London's traditional charm and contemporary sophistication, with a welcoming and upscale vibe.

Peter's primary goal was to streamline the booking process, making it highly accessible and prominently featured. To achieve this, I employed Velo coding to design an intuitive booking interface at the top of the homepage, ensuring visibility 'above the fold.' Further down, I included a comprehensive "Our Services" section with an embedded booking form. This allows clients to explore services and secure appointments seamlessly, without the need to navigate away from the homepage.

Emma, the entrepreneur behind The Naked Birth, came to me with a precise idea for both the aesthetics and content of her desired website. Remarkably, she had already designed the entire layout on Canva and sought my expertise to transform her vision into a fully operational and responsive website, compatible with all devices.

The task of converting her vibrant, energetic, and colorful Canva creation into a live website was an enjoyable challenge. I was delighted to meet Emma's expectations and deliver a final product that brought her satisfaction.

MicroNova Security, a cybersecurity firm, caters to small businesses, offering cost-effective measures to safeguard their data, devices, and systems. Anthony, the company's owner, commissioned a website that exudes energy and modernity, articulated through a dynamic interplay of bright and dark hues.

For MicroNova's site, I pioneered the use of a "quick response bar" that remains fixed at the bottom of the mobile display. This feature, exclusive to mobile users, streamlines communication by enabling visitors to call, send a Whatsapp message, or email the business with just one tap from the website. This innovative function turned out to be exceptionally effective, leading to an uptick in lead generation. Encouraged by this success, I began to incorporate the quick response bar into the websites of other clients, many of whom now report similar satisfaction and improved engagement.

Neurodivergent Birth, founded by doula Victoria White in February 2023, was established to enhance recognition and sensitivity towards the perinatal experiences of neurodivergent individuals. Victoria approached me with a vision for her website that called for a design that was both cheerful and trustworthy. She supplied a specific color palette and illustrations to infuse the site with a playful yet dependable atmosphere.

Key features of the website include a doula directory and a podcast section. Victoria's requirement was that these areas should be user-friendly, enabling her to personally update and maintain the directory and podcast listings with new team members or episodes as the platform grows.

Aimee Broome helps Mums and their partners going through pregnancy and the challenges that life has to offer after giving birth to a baby.

She offers ticketed events, pre-recorded video courses, and one-on-one sessions both in person and via Zoom. I made the design and functionality of these three different categories (which by default come in different apps in the editor) seamless by using Velo codes.

A fun and happy-looking website that works as a complex, fully functioning webshop and educational page.
