Ilkeston Web Design was founded in 2012 to help small/medium businesses in Derby, Nottingham and Leicester get online and communicate with customers.
Mission
Let me help you create a website that stands out and drives business. Sales.
I understand the importance of visibility, familiarity and reputation for businesses competing in an age where consumers are faced with the agony of choice.
Whether it’s drive leads and enquiries, or sell directly online (eCommerce) I can help you build a website that helps achieve business goals as well as looking nice.
A well-designed, well-written website sets expectations before a prospect contacts a business. Why have someone phoning you up asking questions that could have been answered on the site?
My History
My name is Darren Mudd, and I run Ilkeston Web Design as a freelancer. I’m a clean-living geek who plays guitar, designs t-shirts, listens to loads of podcasts, loves reading, writing and learning.
At school I was always interested in art, and over time have turned to information and communication technology.Β
In 2006, I graduated from DeMontfort University, Leicester, with a degree in graphicΒ design.
Since then I’ve worked in newspaper publishing, printing and as a Google search engine quality rater. (That job was home-based, very boring and low paid, by the way)
I’ve a general passion for business, design, tech and marketing, plus, cannot get enough of the philosophy of billionaire investor Warren Buffet. He once said “Lose me money and I’ll be understanding. Lose me a shred of reputation and I’ll be ruthless”.
Having lived in Ilkeston most of my life, I’ve an affinity for the place, building community sites like this one about the railway station.
