I hired this venue for a cyber enthusiast group event, we hired the Exhibition Hall. The room itself was dark, overly hot, no windows and the acoustics were very poor. For a group of 30 we were given 2 door passes for the toilets which was a challenge to manage during tea breaks. Post event I surveyed our members and the above points were reoccurring comments about our choice of venue. More...

Allia FBC is an excellent venue for our CamJelly co-working group allowing us to meet and work together in an office environment. Co-working compensates for the isolation many of us have experienced during lockdown and Allia have enabled us to start up again in a safe way. The space is well managed and ticks all the boxes for a productive day of work. Allia provides high speed, reliable wifi, hot drinks throughout the day and there is access to the Café for food.

From day one Stephen was a complete professional and very easy to work with. We had an idea of what we wanted our website to look like and Stephen really helped bring that vision to life. He gave us great ideas that we may not have considered otherwise and made the whole process really seamless and enjoyable. He was very patient with us when it took longer than expected to get the content we needed for the site. He would send us friendly reminders but never pushy. Also didn't leave me high and dry even after the site was done and I found some small tweaks I wanted to make. I would highly recommend Stephen Holmes Website Design for any and all of your website needs! I know I will be using him again in the future! More...

After recently having our new website designed by Stephen I am very keen to get the word out about not only his abilities to create a fantastic looking site but also his abilities to listen and communicate in a highly professional manner. The reason I first contacted Stephen was as a result of being let down by another company who promised the earth and didn’t deliver. I decided that I needed to start again and find a company or individual who truly cared about creating a new site for my business. Upon first contacting Stephen I was immediately impressed with his level of knowledge and the way he made very informed suggestions in a ‘non pushy’ way (this is very important to me). After explaining to Stephen that we had previously been let down and that I was looking for someone to drive new ideas forward in a creative timely manner he responded in all the right ways. I was keen not to go for a huge agency…I wanted a more personal service from somebody who I could discuss things with as and when it was required. This is exactly what I got from Stephen from the word go. After explaining my brief to Stephen he got to work on designing our new website. As a garden design and build company we were keen to have a site designed that carefully walked potential clients through our design process and gave them the opportunity to view our portfolio in an easy to navigate method. Stephen was fully on board to not only create an aesthetically pleasing site but also to create a very well coded site that would naturally help improve Google rankings. The whole process was so stress free from start to finish which is a rarity indeed. I believe that when somebody actually listens to what you would like to achieve and then uses common sense coupled with an injection of their own creativity it makes the process a very enjoyable one. I am absolutely thrilled with the end result and am looking forward to Stephen applying his SEO skills to improve our rankings even further. This feels like an exciting new chapter for my company and I would not hesitate to recommend Stephen to anybody who is thinking of having a new website created - Thanks again Stephen, your proactive work ethic has never gone unnoticed and I look forward to working with you more in the future.Kindest Regards,Chris Benson The Landscape Design Studio Ltd More...

Stephen was a rare & fortunate find. We didn’t have a huge budget for a big agency but we still wanted quality. Finding a good website designer is hard & a reliable one, even more difficult.
He is both and i’d recommend him highly.

What makes a great website?
That depends on your target market. A great website corresponds aesthetically and functionally with the perspectives and goals of your potential customer.
Your website needs to:
Promote your brand
Be sharable with users
Easily accessed
Convert visitors into customers
Aesthetics are vitally important, but it also needs to sell your product or service. It's NOT just about design.
What questions might you ask a client when starting a new project?
Website Design:
How many pages?
What functionality?
Do you have content and images ready?
SEO:
Do you know what SEO is?
Have you tried it before/what's your SEO purchase history with other consultants/companies?
What's your budget for monthly link building?
What do you love most about your job?
Combining design and functionality. I love business in general, I love learning.
Combining all of these principles around your brand is always unique and rewards me for my excess knowledge when compared to your average website designer.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I've always been entrepreneurial and worked for myself. I create my own work from going the extra mile both when working with clients and in my personal time which I use for self improvement and learning.
Why should our clients choose you?
With a large background in marketing and consulting businesses, I understand the modalities of internet marketing, having started off as an affiliate marketer online. I spend thousands of pounds each year on various courses to stay up to date on the latest techniques and knowledge surrounding:
Conversion rates to increase sales
SEO to get traffic to your website
Email marketing
Marketing language & branding
SEO Audit
What SEO problems do you have on your website? Is it a penalty, Penguin, Panda? Maybe it's the site architecture. We will look at the best ways to improve on your technical on site SEO and present you with a list of changes to make to your website to get a boost in Google rankings.
