Services
I create custom websites designed to meet each clients specific requirements. I work closely with clients throughout the entire process, paying attention to every detail to ensure the final result reflects their goals and needs. Whether its a smaller website or a more complex project, I focus on creating solutions that not only look professional but also function effectively. With my experience and expertise, I provide reliable guidance and support from the initial idea to the final launch.
I design and build e-commerce websites using WooCommerce on WordPress, creating shops that are simple for customers to use and straightforward for owners to manage. I provide tailored shop designs, product setup, payment and delivery configuration, VAT settings, stock management, mobile optimisation and testing before launch, with guidance on managing the website yourself.
I help businesses improve their online presence with professional SEO services designed to make websites easier for Google to understand. Every website I build includes essential search optimisation features. I can assess existing websites that are not attracting enough visitors. My reviews provide a straightforward list of improvements required for stronger search performance.
My Website Care service provides ongoing WordPress support with a focus on security, performance, and reliability. I offer managed hosting, daily backups, plugin and core updates, and continuous monitoring. Through my maintenance plans, I help businesses avoid common website problems while providing expert support from an experienced specialist.

Michael has designed our website quickly, efficiently and also to a high standard. Due to the nature of our business our website needed to be regulated. During this process, Michael has been very patient and has followed all of the procedures that were needed to be followed. Overall we are very happy with his service and with our end result.

Very friendly, professional and helpful company. We are really pleased with the service we have received from Micheal and his team and we love our new website. Would recommend Spot On Designs to anyone who is looking for a new website or who needs advice on how to update or modernise the look and feel of their current site.

Mike was brilliantly throughout this whole process. He listened to exactly what I wanted and put up with me constantly changing my mind here and there on bits and bob. Mike also offered his professional opinion along side my own ideas which I thought was a really nice touch. I would highly recommend Spot On Designs to anyone who is looking to have a website built. Great communication as well. Thanks Mike

We engaged Michael to design and build a new website for our business SB Ironmongery Solutions Ltd. The whole process was really smooth from start to finish and we couldn't be happier with the end result. Having shopped around and had a number of quotes, the price-point was really competitive and the service was excellent from supporting us with our grant application to recommending a photographer. We would highly recommend Michael to anyone wanting a new website.

We have recently had our company website redesigned by Mike (we were in a predicament as our previous web hosting company were closing so only had very limited time to get the website redesign & reinstalled) Mike was very understanding, professional & helpful to be able to get the website sorted in the limited timeframe. The website is fantastic &, more so, his communication was second to none keeping us updated on how the website was progressing. He checked with us that we were happy before launching it. Thank you so much for a lovely website but also helping a business to keep their presence online in what could have been a very challenging time. I would have no hesitation in recommending Mike & his company.

We have worked with Michael for nearly 3 years on a project and he has been fantastic from the outset. He got our "plan" and was invested from the start and was absolutely in it for the journey. He always coped with the "Michael, I need it to do this, and look like that" kind of an email, and he just cracked on with it. Michael was always on hand when we needed support and grew to know what we needed next - before we did! Great to deal with and would fully recommend!
