Website Design for Businesses Across Berkshire
Your website is often the first impression a potential customer has of your business. It needs to look professional, work perfectly on mobile devices and make it easy for visitors to find the information they need.
I design websites for a wide range of Berkshire businesses, from small independent businesses and tradespeople to professional services, consultants, retailers and growing companies.
Every website is designed around your business rather than simply being a generic template.
Whether you need a simple brochure website, a larger business website or a fully featured online shop, I can help.

You’ll deal directly with me from the initial discussion through to the finished website and beyond.

Website Redesigns for Berkshire Businesses
If your existing website is several years old, difficult to update or simply no longer reflects your business, it may be time for a redesign.
Your business may have changed considerably since your website was originally created. Your branding may have evolved, your services may have expanded and your customers may now expect a much better online experience.
I can take your existing website and transform it into something modern, professional, mobile-friendly and easier for your customers to use.
A redesign can also provide an opportunity to improve your website’s structure, content, speed and SEO.
Website Maintenance & Ongoing Support
Having a website built is only the beginning.
Businesses change, and your website needs to change with them. I provide website maintenance and ongoing support for businesses that need help keeping their website up to date.
Support can be provided on an ad-hoc basis or through an ongoing arrangement, depending on what works best for your business.
Ongoing support can include:
- Adding and editing website content
- Updating images

- Website updates
- WordPress maintenance
- Making ongoing changes

Web Design in Maidenhead, Windsor, Bracknell & Across Berkshire
PHD Website Design is based in Maidenhead, Berkshire, and works with businesses throughout the surrounding area.
I provide website design services to businesses in:
Maidenhead · Windsor · Slough · Bracknell · Reading · Marlow · Wokingham · High Wycombe · Henley and surrounding areas
I also work with businesses throughout the wider UK, so you don’t need to be based locally to work with PHD.
The local focus is useful, but I would not turn this section into a huge list of towns purely for SEO. Your existing site already has dedicated location pages, so we can use this section to link naturally to the most important ones. Your current site already identifies Maidenhead as your base and lists these surrounding areas.

What My Clients Say
Highly Recommended!
Working with Paul has been one of the best decisions we’ve made for AVINU.
From the outset, he took the time to understand our business, our values and where we wanted to position ourselves within the smart home industry. Rather than simply building a website, Paul helped create a platform that genuinely reflects who we are as a company and the quality of work we deliver.
His technical knowledge, attention to detail and willingness to challenge our thinking have resulted in a website we’re incredibly proud of. The structure, SEO, user experience and overall presentation have all exceeded our expectations, and we’re already seeing the benefits through increased enquiries and stronger brand recognition.
Perhaps what stands out most is Paul’s commitment to getting things right. He’s responsive, proactive and genuinely invested in the success of our business, making him feel like an extension of our own team rather than an external supplier.
I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Paul to any business looking for a web developer who combines technical expertise with a real understanding of branding, marketing and long-term business growth.
A Brilliant Job!
Paul at PHD Website Design did a brilliant job creating my website. Right from the outset, he made sure to fully understand my vision and translated it into a sleek, professional, and modern site that reflects my business perfectly. Communication was seamless throughout the project, with any questions or amendments handled swiftly and efficiently. The final website not only looks superb but also works flawlessly, earning fantastic feedback from my customers. I wholeheartedly recommend Paul to anyone seeking a professional, reliable service and a high-quality website.
Couldn’t Be Happier!
I honestly couldn’t be happier with my website. From start to finish, the whole process was easy, professional, and nothing was too much trouble. He completely understood what I wanted and brought it to life even better than I’d imagined. I’ve had so many compliments already, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for a high-quality website. Thank you!
Incredible Experience!
Incredible experience working with Paul Hazell on our new business website! He took our vague layout ideas and structured them into a beautiful, functional, and SEO-optimised digital asset. He is professional, highly communicative, and stays fully committed to ‘getting it right’. If you want a top-tier freelance website designer in Berkshire, look no further!

Whether you’re launching a new business or upgrading an outdated site, I build websites that look good and perform flawlessly, all without agency level prices.

How long does it take to build a website?
Most websites are completed within 2–4 weeks depending on size and complexity.

I do provide ongoing maintenance and support to keep your site secure and up to date. I am always at the end of the phone or an email.
