John Robinson Web Design

Operating from a home studio in Marple, within Stockport, John Robinson Web Design is a one-person practice run by John, who set up the business in 2010 after 20 years working in design, marketing and technology. The studio works with solo entrepreneurs, local small businesses and charities, and its portfolio includes a football supporters' co-operative, a private autism and ADHD assessment service, a trailer manufacturer, a luxury interior design company, a chemical-sector recruitment business and a theatre group, mostly based in and around Greater Manchester. Services cover web design and development, brand identity design, website support plans and web design consultancy. Websites are built on WordPress, with an emphasis on speed and being SEO-ready so they generate enquiries for clients. Website support plans include software updates, backups and priority time for ongoing improvements, allowing clients to hand over maintenance rather than manage it themselves. The consultancy service gives clients access to design and coding input to improve an existing WordPress site's speed, usability, accessibility and search engine optimisation. Branding work sits alongside web design, with identity projects developed for each client's sector, from a theatre group to an environmental working-practices organisation. The graphic style described is focused on clarity and minimalism, and John works directly and personally with each client throughout a project and afterwards.
