About
Personal web design, done properly.
Oakes Digital is a personal web design business helping local UK businesses present themselves beautifully online. You work directly with me from the first conversation to the day your website goes live — no account managers, no handovers, no back-and-forth with strangers.
I started Oakes Digital because I believe getting a professional website should feel personal, straightforward and completely risk-free. So that's how I run it: one honest conversation, a fixed price, a finished website you can look at properly — and payment only once you're happy.
The focus is always on what your website actually does for your business: bringing in enquiries, filling bookings, giving your customers a clear place to find you. Every design decision is made in service of that.
What I believe
Your website should earn its keep.
It's a working tool, not a portfolio piece. Every page should be helping bring in enquiries, bookings or phone calls.
You should own it outright.
No hostage hosting, no proprietary systems you can't leave. It's your website — yours to keep, edit or move.
Design should feel personal.
You work directly with me throughout. Your website should feel like your business, not a template someone slotted your logo into.
There's no reason to gamble.
You see the finished website before you pay. If it isn't right, you don't pay — that's the whole idea.
