Share a few details below. You can start by email without booking a meeting.
Reading and Berkshire
Local working sessions can be arranged when face-to-face collaboration is useful.
Commercially focused
The recommended work is tied to enquiries, sales, retention or operational time saved.
UK-wide delivery
Remote reviews keep wider teams and specialist partners involved without slowing decisions.
Who it is for
A useful fit when the website has become the constraint
For a Reading business, the website should help a prospective customer check suitability and take the next step. We plan around your actual buyers, whether they are local households, business owners or a national procurement team.
Technology and managed-service teams
Separate partner, customer and support journeys. Explain your own expertise alongside vendor credentials, with relevant examples and an enquiry route.
Consultancies with considered purchases
Present approved work, named people and accurate support, accessibility and hosting information so a prospect can assess suitability before a meeting.
Businesses updating their offer
Bring services, case studies and recruitment information into a maintainable page system that reflects the business as it operates now.
What the project can include
One connected website system, not isolated pages
The exact platform follows the content, integrations and team. A complete website project can include:
Discovery and architecture
Map audiences, search intent, conversion goals and content before visual design begins.
Bespoke responsive design
Create reusable layouts for the brand and test the important journeys across screen sizes.
Maintainable development
Choose WordPress, Next.js or another suitable foundation around real editing and integration needs.
SEO-ready foundations
Build semantic structure, crawlable navigation, metadata, redirects and performance into launch.
Content and conversion support
Connect clear service messaging, relevant proof and enquiry routes across the page system.
Launch and handover
Complete cross-device checks, analytics, CMS training and an agreed post-launch support path.

Selected portfolio work
De Novo Solutions | WordPress & React Build
WordPress & React Development — delivered with Lightflows.
React blocks within WordPress Gutenberg gave the client an editable content system. Delivered with Lightflows.
This is documented portfolio delivery, not a claim of a Reading client unless the project identifies that location. No ranking, enquiry or revenue increase is inferred from the design work.
- WordPress website development with Lightflows
- React-based Gutenberg blocks for client editing
- Responsive website presentation
Prepare a useful web design brief
- List the three most important customer tasks and where the current site obstructs them.
- Bring approved examples, content owners, integrations and an indicative budget.
- Identify who will update the site and who approves design, content and launch.
Agree the checks before work begins
Agree representative mobile journeys, editable page types, enquiry tests and a launch checklist. Custom design should solve a documented problem—not simply replace a theme with more code.
Working arrangements in Reading

Scope and pricing
Price follows the job the website needs to do
The brief starts with what a Reading customer needs to decide: services, suitability, proof, price expectations and the next step. Page types, editing needs and integrations determine scope. A focused brochure site and a consultancy with multiple buying audiences need different solutions.
Review website packagesFocused brochure website
For a smaller service business that needs credibility and a straightforward enquiry journey.
Growing service website
For multiple services, sectors, case studies or content that needs a stronger information architecture.
Complex or integrated build
For ecommerce, custom functionality, automation, integrations or involved content workflows.
Web design in Reading: common questions
Do you have an office in Reading?
Meetings can be arranged at your Reading or Berkshire premises, or at an agreed meeting location. MattDarm does not present a virtual address as a Reading office.
What should our website prove before the first call?
Show who you help, the problems you solve, examples of your actual work and how a customer can enquire. If procurement matters, include accurate information about accessibility, hosting, support and data handling rather than vague trust claims.
Should the site target Reading, Berkshire or the whole UK?
Use your real sales geography. A local service can explain coverage and practical arrangements; a national consultancy should lead with its specialist offer. We map those needs before choosing the page structure.
Which website platform do you recommend?
It depends on content, integrations, performance and who will maintain the site. WordPress often suits flexible content teams; Next.js can suit performance-led or more custom builds. The platform follows discovery.
How much does web design in Reading cost?
Scope depends on page types, content, integrations and custom design. Current website packages are published on the main web-design service page, with a tailored quote once requirements are clear.
