Why work with Martin Hughes:
Experience
About 12 years ago I made my first website in 2001; this was part of my education and training. Since completing my formal education in 2007 I’ve enjoyed working with businesses professionally on websites fulltime over the last 6 years and continue working with many producing great work and results.
I care
I want to produce great work that gets my customers the results they seek. Ultimately when I work with someone I want to have a long and successful working relationship.
Dedicated
After 6 years of IT education before making the leap into full-time employment as a web designer I’m always learning and keeping up-to-date with best practices.
Cost Efficient
I don’t have a fancy office, I’m not currently VAT registered, your budget will be used wisely and you will be working directly with me.
Understanding Projects
Your project probably has goals, targets and measurable success criteria. I can help complete these.
Up-to-date practices
When possible I will use best practices in my work. I know only too well the best web design blogs, magazines and podcasts.
Creative Thinking
A little thinking can go a long in producing a better project, saving costs and getting better results. I aim to help with planning and thinking on what is the best path.
Green Business
I believe all businesses should make an effort to be environmentally friendly when possible. I make an effort when I can and all my web hosting is 100% carbon neutral.
Services:

I’ve worked with a lot of content management systems and custom built websites. I can give sound advice on your project.

Is your business talking to customers? Are you taking steps to connect with new customers? I can help you meet and collect new customers no matter how large or small your business.

I can help you collect email contacts and communicate with customers. I have experience designing email newsletter templates also.
