Perfect personal website design for individuals

As more and more people are self-employed or freelance we often find that our clients are individuals – a designer, writer or journalist for example – looking for a refreshing way to showcase their work online. We love working with these people and pride ourselves on designing and building unique personal websites for professionals. 

Among the various projects that we have produced in this sector, we have recently created a website for Mike Atherton, ex-professional cricketer and England captain, to host his personal work. Since he retired from his cricket career, he has become a commentator, cricket correspondent and columnist for The Times newspaper, and his website gives him a direct route to his readers and prospective clients.

Similarly his colleague Matthew Syed, an award-winning sports journalist and former Olympian came to us for his site which can be viewed here.

But it’s not just journalists we have worked for – we recently launched the site for Fiona McIntosh, a former editor of Grazia and Elle magazines. Inspiration for the site really came from these magazines. The site uses full-screen imagery and a bold colour-palette. Check it out here.

We often choose to use WordPress content management system for these sites, which is very easy to use so our clients keep the sites up-to-date with their work. It also allows easy e-commerce integration so that photography, books or any relevant product can be bought through the site

If you are interested in having your personal website designed by us, please email us at enquiries@thewebkitchen.co.uk for more information.
