Welcome to Design309.co.uk

Hi I’m Iain Ronayne and I run Design309. I’m a Freelance Web Designer and Front-End Developer. I’m currently based in Bedford, in the UK, and have worked in the IT industry in one capacity or another for the last 18 Years, working on projects large and small from building servers to designing email systems . These days I specialize in web and graphic design and have worked on a variety of projects from start-ups to larger sized businesses from around the world.

I work from the ground up, starting off with brainstorming preliminary ideas and concepts, right the way through to the final build, implementation & hosting. I work rigorously to the client’s needs and specifications, and always provide consistent communication throughout every project I work on.

I am also the editor of popular automotive industry blog and news site Motor Trade Insider. The site launched early in 2008 and I have been involved from the very begining with the design, marketing and editing of the content. During this time I have mastered an awful lot about what is required to make a blog successful, so if you want to set up an engaging, successful blog for your business I can certainly help.

Web Design

Whether it’s just a simple single webpage or a 100 page, content rich website, it’s essential to market you or your business effectively and, where appropriate, boost your sales. Without exception I start every project with a one-to-one consultation in order to establish what you are looking for and what you want your website to accomplish. This is the most crucial and necessary part of the undertaking in my opinion, as everything regarding the website will be primarily based on exactly what we discuss.

I can manage every stage of the website design, from domain name registration, logo design, graphics, website design and build right through to getting the site indexed by all the relevant search engines (Google, Yahoo, Bing etc).

Take a glance at my Portfolio to see just a few examples of my work if you havent done so already.

I’m a freelance designer so that means I work from an office in my home and as a result have minimal overheads and no staff to pay, this naturally makes my service inexpensive and easily accessible. In contrast to the process of getting a website designed through a web design studio, hiring a Freelance Web Designer is a great deal easier and certainly won’t cost you as much. Web design studios charge more money simply because they have more staff to pay and greater overheads. As a Freelance Web Designer I charge you only for my time, you only deal with me and I obtain new clients mainly from recommendations.

No job is too big or small so please contact me for a no obligation quote or for a chat about your project, I look forward to hearing from you.

Web Design & Development

Affordable Web Design Bedford

Whether you are looking for corporate, fun, minimalist, hobby or just plain stunning, I can produce it for you. These days simply having a web presence is not good enough, you need to make it stand out from the crowd and I can help you do that.

I work with HTML/CSS as well as PHP/MySQL in order to design and develop websites. My clients range from simple start-ups to full blown eCommerce.

Here are just a few of the sites I have been working on recently. Click on the thumbnail to see a bigger image.

What some of my clients have to say…

I can’t wax lyrical enough about the extraordinary and soft-spoken talents of Iain Ronayne. Over the years I have had droves of web designers crafting and re-crafting my site.
Some of them were outright clowns, others more preoccupied by their fee than the work I hoped they would do. Iain was so completely different. And what a joy to have found him.
Other than his ability as a designer, what impressed me was that he was willing to re-work the look of the site time and again until we got something that pleased us both.
Best of all though, I never, not once, had an email from him which contained the word ‘No’ — it was always ‘Yes, I can do that for you, no problem.”

Iain is an intuitive, efficient and highly professional web designer.

I simply couldn’t have asked for anyone better. The website he designed for me is superb – and actually better than anything I could have imagined myself.

I feel very lucky that our paths crossed when they did.

Highly recommended.

I’d recommend Design309 to anyone considering either a new website or a revamp.

Iain offers a great value service, and the whole process was quick and efficient.

Iain worked very closely with me to make sure the finished site met my expectations – and in fact it exceeded them!

Iain has intuitively designed exactly the website I was after. It looks good, flows well and is easy to use.

The site was ready for launch in a short turnaround time following our initial discussions and is a great showcase for my work.

I love it & so do my customers – thanks Iain.

Without Design 309 I wouldn’t have the most amazing website! Iain has been there from day one, on hand whenever I needed any help, no matter how big or small the issue.

I would highly reccommend Design309 to anyone who needs help with their online business, and I have as my partner is now a client too!

I am so happy I found someone I can trust and look forward to a long and happy working relationship with Iain.

Iain, I want to thank you for all the web design work you did for me. You have a great sense of aesthetics and design, and created a beautiful home page for me. The pictures you found are stunning, and the way you put them together is very effective. And I must mention, that I particularly appreciate your patience with my ever changing ideas! Since this is an on-going process, I imagine you’ll be getting SOS for help from me from time to time.
Thanks so much,
Sharon

Iain gave us very clear guidelines and timeframes of how to achieve our objectives and once work had begun it was very clear that both parties had a good working relationship and the initial web development site took shape in a very short period of time.
We are delighted with the end result and very proud of of our shop window. Iain did a fantastic job and the project came in on time and in budget.

We have already recommended Design309 to colleagues and associates and will continue to do so.
