Fantastic business
“I can not recommend Anne highly enough. If it wasn’t for her we wouldn’t have been able to trade during the pandemic. Within a day we had a full stock list on the website for deliveries. Then she was able to build an online appointment system that has worked amazingly and kept a steady stream into our garden centre so social distancing was easy. Afford Web Design is a fantastic business and Anne is amazing.”

Frequently Asked Questions
Why use a freelance web designer or web developer?
Choosing a freelance web designer and front end developer over an agency can be a smart decision, as it often results in top-quality websites and a more personalized service, all while offering great value for money.
I provide custom WordPress website design services. From custom website designs with custom development to WordPress updates and WordPress migration services.
Do you only work on websites for Suffolk businesses?
I’ve been working as a web designer for many years, collaborating in person and remotely with businesses of varying sizes and industries including local clients near me in Suffolk as well as people further afield. I am comfortable communicating through various channels, whether face-to-face, email, phone, and Zoom, depending on your preference.
How much does a freelance web designer or developer charge?
When it comes to hiring a web designer, rates can vary widely depending on factors such as experience, efficiency and time scale, with quality freelancers in the UK typically charging a minimum of £50 per hour. As a general ballpark figure, custom brochure websites are from £1500, while ecommerce websites may start at £2500 or more. My hourly rate is £50 per hour.
Before starting on a new project I will provide a quote to complete the design within the parameters provided. Initially I would ask you to provide me with a brief of your requirements.

For websites, the web designer’s role is to create visual designs while the front-end developer is responsible for turning these designs into interactive and user-friendly websites. With years of experience and expertise in both web design and front-end development, I can offer businesses insights and solutions to bridge the gap between design and development.
What factors should I consider when deciding whether to hire a freelance web design expert or a web design agency for my project?
When compared to agencies, hiring a freelance web designer can be cost-effective due to lower hourly rates, greater flexibility, and a more personalized experience with a single point of contact.
