Rick Taylor

I am an experienced freelance web designer and developer.  Over the years I've worked with clients from a range of sectors including:

  • media and journalism
  • education
  • retail
  • charity and third sector
  • start-ups and entrepreneurs

The Cycle of Songs site is one example of my work (using branding and photography supplied by other Cycle of Songs members). For more, please visit my online portfolio.

I enjoy working collaboratively with other designers and developers, but am equally at home taking an online project from the very earliest conceptual stage through to completion.  My broad base of tech and other skills (see below) means I am able to work flexibly with my clients to deliver what they need.  You can email me directly.

I also communicate clearly and effectively without resorting to technical jargon (even though I am a Masters maths and computer science graduate!)  It is important to me that my clients can have confidence in what I am undertaking at every stage of a project.
