Nick was fantastic to work with. He finished the work well before the scheduled deadline, and he was more than available for any questions/assistance with the site edits. He's fast to respond, and can help with step-by-step instruction for anything that you are unfamiliar with. He provided instructional videos, and continued support after the job is done. Highly recommend Nick as a site developer.

Wow, as a new Penguin author, I had to commission a great value new bio site for my book and self fund this. Nick was hyper-responsive, great fun and approachable to work with and crucially delivered a high quality bespoke / designed site for me for a modest realistic budget. I’m so impressed and appreciative as is my publisher.

Not only is it powerful, but once your site is complete, you’ll enjoy the simplicity of managing and editing your own content, thanks to Squarespace’s user-friendly interface.
Plus, as a Squarespace Circle Member, I offer all my clients 20% off their first year on Squarespace - a great start to your website journey!

Now is the fun part! I’ll start building out your website from the ground-up. We’ll go through a multiple rounds of feedback and iteration to make sure your site aligns with your needs. Once you’re satisfied with your site, and your final invoice is paid, the project is complete!I’ll make sure your site is set-up and ready to go live, and transfer full ownership over to you.
