“Ian's guidance, advice, suggestions and ideas were incredibly helpful to someone with very little knowledge or understanding of the complex world of web design. This experience has the potential to be stressful but with Ian there was no stress at all...”

Honest & Transparent Pricing

I operate an honest & transparent approach when it comes to pricing for all my services. I will provide a scope document prior to starting development that includes everything I will deliver as part of your website design & build. Once this document is agreed, and signed, I will issue an invoice for a 50% deposit. The remaining balance is payable once the scope document has been fulfilled. On final payment the website will go live. You can opt to host your site with me, or on a third party platform that supports it.

Payments can be made by Direct Debit or Invoice and Bank Transfer.

Frequently asked Questions

Have a question about my Web Design and Development services? You might find the answer here.
If not, drop me a message on the contact form at the bottom of the page.

How much does website design cost?

A basic website can cost anything from £350 upwards; there isn't really a limit or a fixed price as no two websites should ever be the same. There may be other associated costs involved such as Domain Registration, Font Licensing, Photography, Copywriting, SEO, Hosting, and more. When you contact me about your bespoke website design I will discuss your requirements to determine what you need to create the best solution for you. I will then present you with a tailored proposal document containing everything I will do along with the associated investment. It's entirely upfront, and transparent.

Do you use website platforms or builders to design your bespoke websites?

No, my projects are created from a blank canvas. The reason I work this way is that despite the noise from builder platforms that have recently burst on the scene, it's STILL the best way to create a website with a customer centric user experience, that's tailored to your own brand and business. It allows me to have full control over the design and development of your website ensuring that it's highly optimised for search engines and is accessible to all.

If you design my website can I update it myself?

Yes, you might want to consider the Elements page builder, designed and developed completely by me to give site owners the facility to manage their own content.  Its just £89 per month including hosting, backups and support.

What about Web Hosting?

As my websites are platform independent, you can host them where you want. Currently, 100% of my web design and development clients host their sites with me, and many have done so for over a decade. My managed web hosting platform is fast and reliable and comes with the peace of mind of nightly backups and disaster recovery included as standard.

Where are you based?

I'm based in East Sussex, just a few miles from Brighton & Hove, Lewes and Newhaven, but I work remotely with clients from all around the world including Australia, Germany, Spain (inc The Canary Islands) and the U.K.

Ian Sheldon Web Designer

Hello...

Hi, I'm Ian — a web designer and developer based between Brighton, Hove and Lewes in East Sussex, U.K.

I've been creating bespoke websites since 2006. Over the years I've seen web design, development languages and the devices we use change dramatically, but the fundamentals of Web Design have stayed the same.

 I focus on the small details that make a big difference: fast-loading pages, clear navigation and helping your customers find exactly what they need.
When the little things come together, people will love using your website.

I live between Brighton and Lewes in the beautiful South Downs with my fiancée, dog and three chickens. I enjoy long walks, summer evenings outside, gardening, picking up new skills (I also build iOS Apps now!) and playing the acoustic guitar.
