Freelance Web Design Salford & Manchester
Web design without all the sales waffle!
Freelance Web Design Salford & Manchester! Roll up, Roll up – Get your Salford web design here! (old SEO trick) – Howdy website-chums! If you’ve arrived on this page I will leap to the conclusion that you are in the market for a website! And Heaven’s to Betsy -what a bonkers market it is, not unlike war torn Lisbon in 1942 – but instead of dodgy black market smugglers and untrustworthy double agents, you get dodgy web agencies and untrustworthy web designers – with a pricing scale so steep it’ll make Reinhold Messner lose sleep.
Yes, the competition is fierce out there, which is why I keep things as simple as possible.
Pin back your shell-likes and I’ll tell you how it works. You tell me what you want, I tell you how much it’s going to cost. Too expensive? I’ll tell you what we can do to make it more affordable. I also promise not to oversell you with guff – if you want a 10 page website with sliders and slide-ins and pop ups – but I think you only need a one page website with contact form – I shall tell you. And I won’t give you daft “guarantees” of first place in Google if I don’t feel it’s a possibility in your niche! They don’t call me Honest Jon for nothing.
How much does a website cost, anyway?
I’m tempted to say “how long is a piece of string?”, but that’s a cliche so I won’t. It’s Apple and Oranges! A website will cost different amounts depending on where you go and what you want. You could hire some guy in India who would make one for less than the price of a cod and chips, and that’s great if you’re not too fussed on quality! And you could go to one of the flash new agencies which spring up all the time on Manchester high street – also great if money is no object and you want to be oversold in every department.
A simple website for Joe Bloggs the plumber should not cost £3000!

The Life and Times of a Freelance Web Designer in Salford
Wait – what does that badge say? Best Business of 2019? Top Three Rated? Why yes it does, thank you for noticing! I have been voted Best Web Designer in Salford for the past 4 years running. Only best web designer in Salford, not Manchester – or the UK come to that? I hear you scoff! Well I was based in Salford when I started out, so I guess that explains that! And the title of the best web designer in the UK is only a matter of time…
THE STORY CONTINUES…
My name is Jon Bardi, born and bred in Cheadle. Since then I’ve lived in Manchester, Salford, Bournemouth, Dublin, Australia, Spain, Manchester (again), Salford Quays and Italy (Sardinia). I now divide my time between Sardinia and Manchester (long story short – my girlfriend is Italian.) I guess you could call me an “Internet Nomad”. I started designing websites in college waaaay back in 2000 (remember dreamweaver?).
I have been working as freelance web designer since my pet hen Harry was an egg (he’s 7 now).
But does any of that really matter? As long as you get a low cost, beautifully designed website, I could be the child catcher from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang for all you care!*
