About me
I am Andrew Backhouse, a freelance web designer in Harrogate, North Yorkshire. I create websites that help small businesses grow and win more customers.
I design responsive WordPress and Woocommerce websites for start ups, entrepreneurs and local organisations. Every site is bespoke, easy to use and built with accessibility in mind. Accessible design is part of my process, not an add on. I shape each project around your goals so your site supports your work from day one.
My experiences
I have worked across a range of sectors, always with a focus on how people use the web. I went professional in 2015 and moved into freelance work soon after. I have designed websites full time ever since.
