Great service from Evan recently on a woo-commerce WP site build in Elementor. Nothing he could not fix and it was great value for the money spent. I can recommend his service to anyone with similar challenges.

Evan has been incredible in resolving our malicious website issues, and in pro-actively identifying vital core functions not appropriately set up. His communication and proof of evidence of work as he progressed was both comforting and highly professional. Impeccable service in comparison to our original developers we used. Highly recommend!

Evan's work on our re-developing our business website has been excellent. Evan clearly understands both the technical and graphical elements of website design and his advice and guidance throughout the process was invaluable. He worked well alongside multiple internal stakeholders including our director, marketing and IT colleagues. His pricing structure was transparent, fair and competitive and we're delighted with the end result. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend his services, thanks Evan.

Evan Ross worked on the refresh of my iGlow (PR Consultancy) website and delivered exceptional service from start to finish. He was incredibly efficient, and what impressed me most was his ability to add genuine creative flair whilst providing sound technical advice that aligned beautifully with my business goals. He kept me completely in the loop throughout the entire process - communication was seamless and stress-free. Evan clearly knows his craft inside and out, and it shows in the quality of work delivered. The website refresh exceeded my expectations, and I couldn't be happier with the results. If you're looking for a web developer who combines technical expertise with creativity and outstanding client service, I can't recommend Evan highly enough. Superb work all round!

Frequently Asked Questions

A few of the questions I get asked most often. If yours isn't here, feel free to reach out directly.

Ask a question ↗
How long does it take to build my website?

1 to 4 weeks flat: no endless, soul-crushing agency delays.

Most agencies drag simple builds out for 3+ months because of bloated bureaucracy. I move fast and keep momentum high. You'll get weekly progress updates (or daily check-ins when we're in the trenches), so you always know exactly where your site stands.

Do you offer SEO as part of my website package?

Every site I build comes hardcoded with technical and on-page SEO. Period.

I don't launch broken, un-indexed sites and then charge you extra just to make Google read them. Clean site structure, fast load speeds, meta data, and basic keyword targeting come standard. If you want aggressive, ongoing keyword growth to crush your competitors, we can plug in a dedicated monthly campaign.

Can you save my outdated or broken WordPress site?

Yes. I salvage bad code, overhaul ugly layouts, and turn slow sites into lead machines.

You don't always need to burn everything to the ground. I'll audit your existing setup, keep what's working, migrate your valuable content without breaking your existing search rankings, and rebuild the site into a sleek, high-converting asset.

Will you disappear into thin air once the site goes live?

Not a chance. I keep your site bulletproof while you focus on running your business.

Websites need active maintenance: plugin updates, security patches, daily backups, and minor tweaks. My monthly care plans ensure your site stays lightning-fast, secure, and fully operational without you ever having to touch a line of code or click an update button.

What do you need from me to get started?

Just your core business goals, your brand assets, and a clear idea of what success looks like.

You don't need a 50-page specification document. Bring whatever logos, imagery, and text you have. If you don't have copy ready, no stress: I'll help you structure the content, map the user journey, and guide you through the process step-by-step.
