Frequently Asked Questions
As a freelance specialist, I believe in transparency and clear communication. Whether you are a local business in Cheshire or a brand looking for a national reach across the UK, these answers cover the essentials of how I work, my technical process, and how I help my clients stand out in a modern search landscape.
Do you work with clients across the UK or just in Cheshire?
While I am a freelance web designer based in Cheshire, I work with small businesses and fellow freelancers throughout the UK. Using remote collaboration tools, I provide the same level of bespoke WordPress development and SEO strategy to a client in London or Edinburgh as I do to someone in Northwich.
Why should I hire a freelance web designer instead of an agency?
Hiring a freelancer means you have a direct line to the person actually building your project. You get a one-to-one professional relationship without agency overhead costs or being passed between junior account managers. This leads to faster communication, a more personalized service, and a website that truly reflects your brand’s voice.
How do you optimize websites for 2026 AI search and AI Overviews?
I go beyond traditional keywords by implementing ‘Entity-based’ SEO and advanced schema markup. This helps search engines and AI models (like ChatGPT and Google’s AI Overviews) understand exactly what your business does and where you do it. My goal is to ensure your site is recognized as an authority in your specific niche.
What is your process for a new web design project?
Every project starts with a deep dive into your business goals. I handle everything from wireframing and UI/UX design to WordPress development and technical SEO launch. I don’t just ‘build and bolt’; I ensure the site is mobile-optimized, lightning-fast, and includes the necessary tracking to measure your success from day one.
Can you help with my local SEO if my business has multiple locations?
Yes. I specialize in a ‘Hub and Spoke’ SEO strategy. This involves creating a main service ‘Hub’ and individual location ‘Spokes’ (like my Northwich or Knutsford pages). This structure tells Google you are an authority in multiple areas without confusing your site’s hierarchy, which is the most effective way to rank for ‘near me’ searches.
