D&S Storage

This website was conceived and built following lots of discussion and deep understanding of the business market, positioning and desirable outcomes, with a WordPress website block theme chosen to assemble all the pages to demonstrate the features/benefits to the customer.

A short video was also filmed, edited, uploaded to YouTube and integrated into the website to fully show off the service that paying customers could expect to receive.

"Having searched the internet for hours to find someone to create me a website, I was more confused than when I started! So much mystery and variables on timescales, requirements, costs etc etc.

I needed someone who I felt I could interact/discuss things with when required. Someone who would understand what I want from the website, and simplify the process as much as possible.
After looking at Darren's website I gave him a call. He explained everything very well and instantly came across as very honest, genuine and knowledgeable. My mind was made up I'd found the right person/company for the job.

What a good decision it was. Darren was so patient and helpful from start to finish, and made the process as easy as possible for a customer who really struggles with anything techy.

The end product/website was perfect and exceeded expectations. Costs of the website was very reasonable and explained clearly at all stages.

Would highly recommend and use again, big thanks from D&S Storage."

This eCommerce site was moved from the limited abilities of Wix and rebuilt from the ground up using WordPress (a content management system) together with WooCommerce, to better manage a vast inventory with the ability to continue adding products.

Feedback Received

"Darren provided me with such a positive experience during the website design process! Having a professional like Darren who can guide you through complex tasks and ensure everything meets your expectations was invaluable. I feel reassured that future collaborations speak volumes about the trust and confidence I have in Darren's abilities. I have built a strong working relationship with a reliable professional.
If I could give Darren more Stars I would, thank you Darren."

Deb Cox

Deb was developing her own WordPress website and made changes to the database that locked her out and took away her access as an administrator, which required some tinkering inside phpMyAdmin to create a brand new username and password.

Feedback Received

"Thank you Darren at Ilkeston Web Design for fixing my website!

While having a go at creating my own website, I encountered unexpected issues. This led me to google solutions to the problem. Unable to resolve the issue myself, I admitted defeat and contacted Darren, after watching one of his informative videos on YouTube. Darren was quick to respond with a solution and even offered to take a look at the website. I sent the website across to Darren, who rapidly fixed the issues. Darren also made a video especially for my website, to talk me through the next stage and how to make it live. Darren exceeded my expectations, especially as he had no obligation to help me out. I couldn't recommend Darren enough and would contact Ilkeston Web Design for anything web related in the future.
Fast, knowledgeable and affordable advice!"

Misti’s Fonts

Misti’s WordPress website was hosting with a company that wasn’t great, and charged too much for individual products/services, which were available elsewhere for better value, so I migrated the whole site to Dreamhost with minimal downtime.

Feedback Received

"I hired Darren to move my website over to a new host. Darren was very professional during the whole process. He helped me, a very unknowledgeable website owner, every step of the way. He even called my old host on my behalf and made video tutorials showing me how to create a backup of my website and how to proceed with my new hosting account. He was very communicative with me, so I was always updated during the process. He delivered great value, which exceeded my expectations, all for an affordable price. I highly recommend hiring Darren for your website needs!"

Ashcourt Lettings

The previous website was written entirely using HTML tables of fixed width, meaning the site was not responsive/adaptable to narrower screens such as mobile smartphones, and so the whole thing was recreated using a modern design.

Feedback Received

"Simply brilliant. I had seen Darrens work previous to him doing my website and already knew how good he was but he continued to amaze me with the quality of the end product. He was allowed to add some of his own ideas to my website which he did and I feel he really understood what I wanted. Again I can't praise Darren enough and he's a real pleasure to work with."

Stay Warm and Dry

This WordPress website was built from the ground up as a total redesign and reimagining of the previous static website, which was thin on content and information, and needed to do a better job of setting prospective customers’ expectations and converting them into real leads, especially since paid ads were used to funnel traffic into certain landing pages.

"Having previously employed a large web design company that I had become disillusioned with, I searched locally and found Ilkeston Web Design. I spoke to Darren and quickly became impressed with his knowledge and passion for building good quality web sites. He explained various options and after agreeing on a plan for a mobile responsive site, he quickly got to work, keeping me informed every step of the way.
I'm really pleased with the finished result. I feel confident I will get great results from it. I would have no hesitation in engaging Ilkeston Web Design in the future and recommend Darren to anyone looking for an engaging, productive web site."
