Need a website?
Hey, I make those!
I’m Andrew Viney, a freelance website designer and developer based in Bristol, UK. I specialise in creating effective, responsive, Google-optimised websites for individuals, businesses and non-profits.
Responsive web design
Pixel-perfect on every screen
Did you know nearly 65% of website traffic is from mobile devices? If your site doesn’t look and function well on mobiles and tablets, you could be missing out big time!
For me, a great mobile experience should be a given. Every website I build is ready for every screen from the get-go – it’s never an add-on or an afterthought.
Search engine optimisation
Your website and Google like that 🤞
There’s not much point in a fancy website if nobody can find it, but search engine algorithms adapt so quickly it’s impossible to keep up with the latest SEO tricks and hacks.
That’s why I don’t use SEO tricks and hacks. I build websites that are search engine optimised from the ground-up using the best practices and standards.
Accessibility-first
Because the web is for everyone
A website isn’t doing its job if it’s not available to everyone, regardless of how they access it. Accessibility isn’t just a box to tick – it’s a core part of great design.
From readable colours and fonts to keyboard navigation and semantic code, I make sure every website I build meets modern accessibility standards.
Custom-built for you
Your site, your style, your story
Templates might save time, but they rarely feel just right. Your business is unique, and your website should be too.
I design and build custom websites that reflect who you are and what you do – no cookie-cutter solutions here, just a site that feels like you.

A WordPress specialist
WordPress is the world’s most popular content management system (CMS), powering over 40% of the web. I specialise in WordPress development because it’s powerful, reliable, and endlessly customisable – exactly what a modern website needs to stand out and perform.
As a freelance web developer, I’ve used WordPress to power everything from simple blogs and landing pages to WooCommerce online stores and interactive web applications driven by huge datasets. I wouldn’t say there’s nothing WordPress can’t do… but it’s close.
Open-source and always evolving
WordPress is free and open-source, supported by a global community of contributors who keep it secure, fast, and cutting-edge. Regular updates ensure your site is always ready for the latest technologies and standards. Plus, with a vast library of plug-ins – many of them free – WordPress can do everything from running an online store to managing private or paywalled content.
Bespoke solutions for unique needs
Thanks to its open-source nature, WordPress gives developers like me the freedom to shape it into exactly what you need. Off-the-shelf plug-ins often tick a lot of the boxes, but sometimes there’s that one thing they just can’t do. When that happens, I build custom plug-ins and solutions that seamlessly fit your site – no bloated features, no compromises, no “that’s almost right” – just a website that works your way.
You’re in control
I love building lasting relationships with my clients, but I also know you don’t want to rely on me every time you need to update your site. WordPress’s intuitive editor makes you the master of your own domain (see what I did there) – even the most tech-phobic can confidently add or edit content.
For anything bespoke or out of the ordinary, I provide training and clear, easy-to-follow documentation. If you do get stuck, I’m always just an email away.
