Keep the character. Make publishing easier.

For a Brighton studio or creative agency, a redesign can mean sorting years of project pages, videos and old campaign links. We begin with what deserves to stay, what needs clearer credits and what your team wants to publish next.

Know what is moving

Inventory project pages, useful URLs and assets before changing the structure. Give important old links a destination.

Show the work and your role

Use flexible project templates for images, video and concise scope notes, with room to credit collaborators accurately.

Give editors a usable handover

Review a real new project entry together so your team knows how to publish, check mobile layouts and manage assets.

A clear path from brief to delivery

  • Audit the existing work

    Choose the projects and pages to keep, collect the right assets and agree who owns copy and credits.

  • Build with real portfolio content

    Review layouts with short and long projects, portrait images and video embeds before rolling out the CMS.

  • Move, test and publish

    Map redirects, check forms and old links, then practise adding a project before launch.

A few things you might ask

What services do you offer in Brighton?

I offer web design and development, web and mobile apps, conversion rate optimisation (CRO), SEO and content, website maintenance, and automation and integrations. You can work with me on a new build, an existing website or app, or a focused improvement.

Are you a freelance web designer based in Brighton?

I’m a freelance designer and developer based in London. I work remotely with Brighton and Hove teams, with direct communication and working previews throughout the project.

Can you work with our brand designer or art director?

Yes. I can develop from supplied Figma designs and agree responsive layouts, CMS requirements and interactions with your designer. We make responsibilities and review points clear at the start.

Can we move our portfolio without breaking old links?

I can inventory the current URLs and map redirects where addresses change. We test important project pages, enquiry routes and links before launch; some platform-specific features may need a different implementation.

Can we use video and animation in the portfolio?

Yes, with loading behaviour, controls and reduced-motion preferences considered in the build. We test the actual assets on mobile so the work remains usable alongside the visual treatment.

How do you price a creative website rebuild?

I scope the templates, volume of content to migrate, interactions and connected tools first. Your content readiness and review availability shape the schedule; the proposal sets out the price, responsibilities and any separately scoped support.

Can we publish new projects ourselves?

Yes. The agreed CMS templates make routine project updates editable. We cover image preparation, credits, links and page checks in the handover, while more substantial design changes can be scoped separately.
