Why an office-based website designer?
Your website is your shopfront. An office setup gives your designer reliable internet, IT support and a supervisor, so changes go live on time.
- A designer who knows your site inside out, not a new contractor each time
- Three internet connections, so updates aren’t held up by outages
- A supervisor and IT team on site every working day
- USB storage blocking and managed security on request

Many website designers handle on-page SEO basics, such as page titles, descriptions, headings, alt text and speed. Larger SEO strategy is a separate skill we can recruit for.
Not quite. A website designer usually builds and updates sites in platforms like WordPress, Shopify or Webflow. A developer writes custom code. We recruit for both; full-stack developers are listed in our salary guide.
