Brighton, UK
Freelance
Web Designer
in Brighton
Websites, ecommerce and brands that work as hard as you do, designed and built by one senior designer rather than an agency chain.
Shopify, WordPress & brand-focused web design
I’m Gary, a freelance designer and developer working with businesses across Brighton, Hove, Sussex and the UK. Through Design Superheroes, my web design agency in Brighton, I design and build websites end-to-end: Strategy, brand, UX, and the code that runs them.
Most of my work lives on two platforms. I build ecommerce stores as a Shopify web designer and content-led sites as a WordPress developer, and I’ll let you know which one fits your business best. Around the websites, I handle branding and print and UX/UI for apps, so everything you put in front of a customer feels like it came from the same place, because it did.
20+Years in the game
What I do
-
Shopify Web Design
Ecommerce stores designed to convert: Theme customisation, custom builds and migrations. -
WordPress Development
Bespoke WordPress websites and CMS builds that are flexible, fast and easy to run yourself. -
UI & App Design
User experience and interface design for mobile apps, SaaS products and dashboards. -
Branding & Print Design
Logos, visual identity and print that carry your brand beyond the screen.
Hospitality specialism
Restaurants, cafes and bars are a second home for me. I design hospitality websites that turn browsers into bookings, and shoot food photography that makes dishes irresistible.
It’s a specialism built on real industry insight, including running one of Brighton’s most-followed food accounts, so the work is grounded in how people actually choose where to eat.
