Services
I specialise in designing and building bespoke websites for businesses seeking a professional online presence. Each website is developed around your goals, brand and customers, with clear communication throughout the project. I personally handle every stage, from initial discussions to the final launch. The service includes practical support and a focus on achieving the right results.
Through my e-commerce web design service, I create WooCommerce shops that combine ease of use with practical management features. I handle the design, setup and configuration needed for selling online, including products, payments, delivery and customer emails. Before launch, I test the complete process and show you how to manage your new store.
I provide Search Engine Optimisation to help your website appear when people search for your services. I make sure your site is structured clearly so Google can understand and display it correctly. My SEO work includes page details, headings, images, links and technical improvements. I also offer reviews for existing websites needing attention.
I deliver Website Care & Support Plans that remove the worry of managing your website maintenance alone. Each plan includes secure hosting, regular updates, monitoring, and protection against potential threats. I ensure updates are managed safely and provide dedicated support, allowing your website to remain stable, secure, and functioning effectively.

Mike was absolutely great when he created my website for me. He was patient with all my questions and tweaks to designs and always found a solution for anything I threw at him. I couldn't fault his abilities and the speed with which he worked. I'm really pleased with the final output and would definitely recommend Mike for anyone looking for a professional website to be created to a high standard and for great value.

Mike was brilliantly throughout this whole process. He listened to exactly what I wanted and put up with me constantly changing my mind here and there on bits and bob. Mike also offered his professional opinion along side my own ideas which I thought was a really nice touch. I would highly recommend Spot On Designs to anyone who is looking to have a website built. Great communication as well. Thanks Mike

We engaged Michael to design and build a new website for our business SB Ironmongery Solutions Ltd. The whole process was really smooth from start to finish and we couldn't be happier with the end result. Having shopped around and had a number of quotes, the price-point was really competitive and the service was excellent from supporting us with our grant application to recommending a photographer. We would highly recommend Michael to anyone wanting a new website.

Since building our website around 10 years ago we have never considered using anyone else. Mike has always made sure we are up to date and when amendments or additions have been needed he has always completed them quickly. Mike has also always been available to discuss options and has so much knowledge and experience that he can make suggestions to improve our website that we would never have thought of.
Very happy with everything over the years and no intention of changing.

We have worked with Michael for nearly 3 years on a project and he has been fantastic from the outset. He got our "plan" and was invested from the start and was absolutely in it for the journey. He always coped with the "Michael, I need it to do this, and look like that" kind of an email, and he just cracked on with it. Michael was always on hand when we needed support and grew to know what we needed next - before we did! Great to deal with and would fully recommend!
