About MeGet in touch

 
I’m Matthew Hodgson, a freelance website designer based in Bradford, West Yorkshire.

If you need a website I’m here to help!

Having a strong online presence is becoming more important all the time. As well as attracting potential customers a website provides an easy way to share contact details and useful information such as opening times and maps.

I’ve worked on projects ranging from personal blogs to shops with thousands of customers. I can help you get the most from the time and effort you put into online marketing to stand out and really appeal to your audience.

Website Design

 
You may already know how you want your website to look, or perhaps you’d like to discuss the possibilities. When it comes to websites no one size fits all; it has to reflect your brand and showcase what you’re all about.

I offer a free consultation and honest advice to get you up and running in no time!

Hosting

 
Besides the design element I’m often asked about web hosting, domain names and email accounts. I can provide these too, without you having to pay for any unnecessary extras.

If you already have these set up that’s great! You already have the foundations in place for a beautiful new website.

Technical Support

 
Keeping a website updated can seem like hard work but it needn’t be. Send me your questions and I’ll be happy to help.

If you come across any technical problems whatsoever, just get in touch and I’ll be there to put it right. You won’t be left in the dark needing to search the web for answers.

Bradford Teaching Hospitals

Crohn’s Disease and Ulcerative Colitis are the two main forms of Inflammatory Bowel Disease, affecting more than 300,000 people in the UK. Lots of information can be found online, but this involved searching across multiple websites, a lot of which hadn’t been updated for a long time.

Working with the IBD nurses at the Bradford Royal Infirmary we came up with a plan. Patients were asked what information they found difficult to find, and how the NHS could help. We invited patients to attend a presentation outlining our plans for a dedicated website. With more feedback we added patient stories, information leaflets to download and links to important resources helping those living with the condition find vital information quickly and directly from the National Health Service.

Mindful Me

The design for Mindful Me started with a logo and the company tagline: “Sometimes you just need to press pause.”

It had to be clean and uncluttered, without any distracting elements, and have clear links to the different pages with information about the courses they offer and a means to get in touch.

Links to social media profiles were added to share content easily and extra features such as a stress test quiz adding a fun element.

Alice Collins

The brief was to showcase the latest designs by Alice Collins, a local clothing manufacturer based in Heckmondwike.

The layout had to fit large high-resolution screens as well as mobile/tablet devices, requiring a slightly different approach for each.

Small additions were made later on such as an animated logo and an ecard to send out to customers at Christmas (http://alicecollins.com/christmas2018/).

Claremon

I’ve worked with Claremon Limited on a number of projects. They’re constantly innovating, using the latest Web to Print technology to allow customers to order highly customised products in a fraction of the time it would usually take to get artwork manually checked and approved.

Larger companies have the ability to choose which products different franchises are able to order, which discounts apply to who and even the payment methods available.

Besides the online ordering system, the main company website has been redesigned to showcase what they can offer.

Creative Waterscenes

Creative Waterscenes needed a new design to show off all the fantastic ponds they’d constructed. The old website had a basic gallery, but the pictures were only shown in a small window; very small on modern desktop monitors.

Besides this, there was only a basic link to their Facebook page which is being constantly updated with news. Visitors to the website who weren’t connected on Facebook missed out on all of that, whereas now the latest news is automatically shown on the main page.

Chef Tim Niven

Tim approached me wanting to advertise his business online and give customers an easy way to get in touch.

The design uses Bootstrap which meant costs were kept to a minimum by starting off with a template and making changes only where necessary. Background images using the parallax effect were added for extra flair.
