A sales funnel is the heart of your business’s client journey, and without one, you’re missing a massive growth opportunity. That’s where I come in. I design sales funnels that guide potential clients seamlessly from their first interaction with your brand to confidently saying “yes” to working with you.
I manage the entire process—capturing leads, nurturing them with personalised messages, and presenting tailored offers that meet their exact needs. Whether you’re selling services, products, or memberships, I ensure every step is carefully crafted for maximum impact.
My goal is to get your leads not just ready to buy, but genuinely excited to engage with your business. I believe in creating natural, personalised customer experiences, making it easier for you to grow without to overwhelm. Let’s transform those visitors into loyal clients who keep coming back.
We’ll have a one-to-one consultation to get an understanding of your audience and who you are looking to attract to buy from you.
The funnel will work optimally when we’re addressing the biggest problem for that audience, and the solution is the product or service you have to offer.
Research will help me determine that we’re creating the right lead-in for your audience, based on their habits.
You’ll be presented with options for the lead-in freebie, and you’ll choose the one that you feel is the right offer for your audience – something they’ll go for.
A product that’s highly specific to what you’re selling (this can be a video, digital download, webinar…. Anything!)
By offering this ‘evergreen’ option, you can literally keep your launch on all the time, so it never has to end. Just direct all your advertising towards your freebie!
An email campaign, with (3) custom emails written towards achieving the ultimate goal of selling your product or service.
Communicating with your growing community of subscribers with an automated email campaign sequence, which triggers when individuals take certain actions.
Discount codes can be used to offer percentage discounts or amounts off of your products. Use them to add that extra incentive!
We’ll use this inside your launch campaign emails. They can be created for any amount and any purpose. We advise a single use ongoing code for your funnel.
Offer an affiliate commission for your colleagues, friends & advocates for their efforts in sharing your products!
Your products can work much harder for you (generate more sales) when you onboard affiliates. This also comes with an email, two video clips & three graphics.
You can probably handle WordPress updates on your own. But do you really have the time to remember backups, and can you fix things if a plugin, theme, or WordPress update goes awry—and it does happen? Let a professional manage the heavy lifting for you, so you can focus on serving your clients and producing great content for better SEO!

Affordable with No Hidden Costs 💰
You’ll get a professional, custom-designed website that fits your budget—no surprises or hidden fees, just a straightforward process that works for you.
A Freelance Web Designer will often be less expensive than a typical creative agency. A freelance web designer will typically have less overheads than an agency, and be able to work in a more agile way – dipping in and out of projects as needed.
Often, there’s more room for late-stage changes and changes to your project. You’ll also be working directly with the person who is doing the work, not an agency secretary or a project manager.
A Freelance Web Designer doesn’t mean you’re getting less for your money either. Most Freelancers (like me) have worked for web design agencies for many years, learning from experts, and improving their skills. This means you’re often getting the same level of experience and expertise with a freelance web designer as you would with an agency.
Individual Freelance Web Designers will all charge slightly different rates and price projects differently. I typically price a project based on the number of unique templates, the complexity of the design and any custom development that’s required. I’ll typically ask for a brief, then put together a proposal, and offer a fixed price quote. Because I charge on a per-project basis, you’ll always know where you stand – the price I quote, is the price you’ll pay. No hidden fees.
Yes. I typically take 25% up front. This allows be to book in the time needed to complete your project. The remaining 75% is then due on completion of the project, when all decision makers have signed off.
A typical website takes between 4 – 6 weeks to go from concept to completion. More complex websites will naturally take longer. I’m always happy to discuss more urgent projects with clients, and find interim solutions if the requirement is to have something live sooner. Typically a project will run as follows:
Nope. I’ll produce as many designs as needed to get us to a place where we’re all happy. The design phase typically lasts around 2 weeks, but can be extended if we need more time to get it right. This doesn’t impact the final cost.
Premium themes, are often more trouble in the long run. They limit creativity and can be hard to customise. As time goes by, they can become out of date and insecure, and updating them can be difficult if they’ve been heavily customised.
Premium themes also come loaded with extrenous libraries – so as to provide a one-size-fits-all solution, meaning they can be slow to load and slow to use.
Yes. I often take over the maintenance and development work on existing websites. So long as the technology behind it aligns with my skillset, I’m in.
Yes. I’ll work with you to ensure the admin area of your website gives you all of the control and tools you need to empower you to make changes yourself. I’ll offer training from WordPress 101
Your site will be built with SEO in mind. I’ll test the site against accessibility standards and Google’s Core Web Vitals to ensure it’s as fast as it can be. Post launch, I’ll ensure the appropriate cacheing is implemented and convert all images to webP/SVG.
I’ll work with you to identify your target audiences, so we can pinpoint any low-hanging search engine optimization fruit.
As well as SEO, well consider the User Experience, and ensure a user-friendly experience throughout.
I can offer guidance in writing SEO-friendly content, and can connect my clients with trusted SEO specialists who can help elevate your digital marketing post-launch.
I manage a private server in a UK-based data center, exclusively for my web hosting clients and I’m hands-on, so I’ll be working on your website every month, not just hosting it.
All websites on my private servers are scanned for vulnerabilities and backed up every day. I retain backups for 12 months.
I’ll proactively monitor your site and receive instant alerts should it go down. If there is any outage, I’ll likely have solved the problem before you even realised there was one. And if that wasn’t good enough, I’ll also maintain your website’s plugins and core – taking care of all required back-ups at no extra cost.
Yes, I work from my home office, a 10-minute walk from Sunderland City Center. Most of the work I do as a freelance web designer is done remotely for clients across the north of England. But I work with Clients across the entire UK and the4 USA.

Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Andrew Wood2023-10-09Anthony has a very professional approach, he is helpful and understanding. I've been very impressed with the work he is doing for me and his graphic design is of the highest standard. Perhaps as important as anything, I'm in my mid eighties and he has patience with someone who doesn't have the technicals skills of much younger individuals. I plan to use him again.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Julie Green2023-03-25What can I say about Anthony other than he is truly amazing. Needed 2 websites built one for my cleaning business and the other for my new solicitors business. He sat down with me talked asked what I would like the website to do? Emailing me directly, making appointments ect. Advise on where to put my logo colour scheme layout. Could not help more for someone who didn't know much on what to do. Very happy with outcome of both sites. Would recommend to anyone. Must use knows exactly what he is doingTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Kay Devine2023-03-25I had absolutely no idea where to start and Anthony was recommended to me by a friend - I couldn't be happier with the service I recieved. His professionalism and attention to detail are second to none and I would highly recommend Virtual Website Design Ltd to anyone 😀Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Rebecca Redero2023-01-21Just received my final draft from Anthony for my photography business. I was a total amateur coming into the process so I knew I needed someone with knowledge and commitment. I couldn't rate him highly enough, the whole process was totally painless - Anthony was responsive and articulate, explaining more difficult concepts clearly and allowing my input to be constructed just how I wanted it the whole way through. I really admire his ability to put my ideas into motion, far better than I had anticipated and also his commitment to my project. LOOK NO FURTHER!! 10/10, thank you again Anthony!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Michelle Bluckert2021-09-06Great service.
