FAQs
-
Not a problem! We absolutely love writing narratives and telling compelling stories.
Since we create websites and our own interactive experiences, crafting engaging content is a key strength of ours. If you’re feeling stuck on what to say, we’ll work closely with you to develop clear, engaging content that reflects your brand voice and connects with your audience.
You won’t need to figure it all out on your own — we’ll guide you every step of the way!
-
That’s totally okay!
Many clients come to us without a fully fleshed-out idea, and that’s where we can help.
We’ll work with you to understand your brand, your goals, and your audience, and from there, we’ll guide you through the design process to create something that truly works for you.
-
No worries!
The websites we design are easy to use and manage, even if you're not familiar with web design.
We’ll guide you through the process and provide clear instructions on how to make simple updates to your site when needed. Plus, we’re always just an email away if you need extra support!
-
We don’t do the ‘give us everything and we’ll hand you a site’ approach. Instead, we take a more collaborative, step-by-step journey. It might take a little longer than you’d expect, but we think it’s worth it for a website that feels just right.
With lots of conversations, feedback, and a few tweaks along the way, most websites take about 6-8 weeks. But don't worry – we’ll work to your timeline and make sure you're in the loop at every stage.
-
Absolutely!
Every website we design is fully responsive, meaning it will look great and function smoothly on both desktop and mobile devices.
Today’s world is mobile-first, and we want your visitors to have the best experience no matter how they access your site.
-
To get started, all our projects begin with a 60-minute design consultation.
This is a great opportunity to dive into your ideas—what you want, the functionality, your budget, aesthetics, and much more. We’ll also share some initial ideas to get your project or site refresh moving. After the consultation, we’ll prepare an accurate fee proposal based on what we’ve discussed.
The consultation fee is £50, which will be deducted from the overall cost if you decide to move forward with the project. This helps us ensure that our time together is spent productively, giving you the best possible ideas and planning for your website.
To give you an idea, most of our projects have a budget between £1,200 and £5,000. And to make things easier, we offer flexible payment options, so you can spread the cost over two or three payments.
-
Yes, we’re always here when you need us!
After your website is live, we offer ongoing support at a very reasonable and competitive hourly rate.
Whether you need help with updates, tweaks, or just some advice on how to get the best out of your site, we’ve got you covered. That said, we aim to make sure your site is totally manageable by you, so you don’t have to rely on us!
You can choose to include this support in your initial quote, or we can work on an as-needed basis – no service agreements or long-term commitments required. It’s all about flexibility to suit you!
WE ARE HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
‘We didn't really know what we were after other than 'a new website' and John worked through all the possibilities and helped us create a site that really speaks to our vision.’
Paul Golz, Artistic Director, Riverside Dance
‘John at NOCTURN designs is exactly what I was looking for. I needed a portfolio website that would look good and be simple to use, John did both and more. He listens, is happy to go a the clients speed and if you work in the arts John understands exactly what’s needed to stand out form the crowd. I would not hesitate to recommend him, in fact I already have and they have great website too!’
Tom Hoben, Director, Tom Hoben Studios
‘John really took time to listen and understand the vision, helping me to refine my brand before presenting me with three great logo options. One stood out and John developed this further, paying close attention to feedback and delivering a beautiful final logo. He was professional, friendly and creative - what more could you want?’
Rebecca Rocker, Artist, Torn Curtain
‘John did a fantastic job working with Su and I to develop our branding and logo and put together a whole new website. I had underestimated the work it takes to do this but John made it feel easy, broke down the steps into clear processes, was a great listener and wonderful creative collaborator. We are so pleased with the results and are very excited to share it far and wide!’
Rebecca Evans, Co-Artistic Director, MOVE & CODE
‘I really enjoyed working with John…on my Legal Ren new consultancy website. He was patient, made lots of good suggestions, and designed a really clear and accessible website for my new work. The framework is easy to use and maintain, and it has lots of functionality. I would really recommend speaking to John if you would like a new website for your brand.’
Ren Behan, Legal Ren
‘NOCTURN Designs helped us at ASC Agency with our first ever marketing push & flyer design. They were incredibly receptive, listening to our brief and making sound suggestions & explorations around our aims with the marketing. The turnaround & initial draft was impressive, they were responsive & welcoming of our feedback, and we are delighted with the final product.’
Michael Chandler, Director, ASC Agency
‘From the moment we first spoke I really got great energy from John. I got the impression he had taken the time to do his research into my niche industry www.thatplaceonthecorner.co.uk which made my life so much easier…A really pleasurable experience. So much so that I have asked NOCTURN Designs to continue working with me on a retainer as I know that the website will need to grow with my business, and I want them close at hand when it does.’
Sam Menezes, That Place On The Corner
‘Our brief to NOCTURN Designs was short: 'I'm not sure what I want but make www.newburycrossfit.co.uk better'. John was extremely easy to work with & demonstrates a passion for making small businesses succeed. He turned our unimaginative website into one that flows, looks inviting & captures what our business is all about. An enjoyable & stress-free process.’
Grant Dedden, Business Owner, Newbury CrossFit
‘John recently redesigned our website and it was an absolute pleasure to work with him. The process unlocked a new brand identity for our company, and John guided us knowledgeably and skilfully through the design process to get the look and feel of the site that was elevated in every way. John spent time to connect with us to ensure the site reflected our needs perfectly. He is also immensely patient with busy people providing the right amount of reminders, action lists and check ins to get the site over the line. Would 100% recommend.’
Vicky Thornton, Co-Director, Clearcut
‘NOCTURN Designs grabbed the brief, made reshaping www.unheardvoice.co.uk so straightforward and ensured it could be scanned better and conceptually easier to follow, as well as far simpler to get in touch – which is the point of a business website, right?! From offering me options to help streamline the masses of text, to crisp, clear design, to the “backend” tidy up, and choices for email ease – just all so good. I highly recommend NOCTURN Designs and I look forward to an ongoing relationship keeping the site maintained.’
Marsha Ramroop, Business Owner, Unheard Voice
