Thanks for stopping by!
We design and develop websites for small businesses, communities, charities, creative individuals, research projects, parish councils… the list goes on and on! We provide a hassle-free package and bespoke services tailored to your requirements, and can also integrate your website with your other online presence. We offer a selection of free guides to help you think about what you need from your website. If you need more support in developing your ideas, we also provide consultancy and workshops. And we won’t desert you after your website goes live. We can also provide training and ongoing support.
You can find more information about our services below, together with a selection from our portfolio and client testimonials.
Services
Consultancy
Does your current website communicate effectively and help you achieve your goals? Do you need a new website but don’t know where to start? We can help you understand your audiences and how to reach them, and work with you to develop a brief for a new or refreshed website.
Website Development
You need a new website, but money is tight and you don’t want to have to worry about the technicalities of it all. So we offer an affordable web design and development service, which we will tailor to meet your unique needs. We will listen to your values, and how you want to communicate. We will support you through the process, and we can even help you write the content.
Integrations
Your website won’t necessarily be the only way you interact with your audience. We can help you set up other communications platforms – social media, mailings – and integrate these with your site.
Training & Manuals
We provide support to website administrators that is tailored to their requirements and learning styles. We can develop step-by-step written guidance for existing or new websites, and can provide training in managing website content and site administration, delivered face-to-face or online.
Effective Websites Workshop
Do you find learning in a group more fruitful than solitary exploration? We can provide Effective Websites Workshops to business associations, which have members operating in a common sector and facing similar challenges, or to creatives and sole traders who enjoy bouncing ideas around in a group setting.
Support & Maintenance
Websites need a bit of TLC from time to time to ensure they continue to look fresh, are running smoothly, and include the latest security measures.

“Thanks Clare for your patience, flexibility and expertise in helping us to create our new website. Our requirements were fiddly and complex, and you helped us work through them all to get the best results for us. We have had some very appreciative feedback from people about the website, commenting on how clear it is and we are thrilled with it.” — Lynn Wetenhall, Trustee, Food Exeter
“I really, really like what you do with Websites Ahoy! The fact that you cycle and use sustainable/ethical resources, and that you donate a few hours a month for charities. So much more caring than so many others. Great stuff!” — CE, Abingdon Carbon Cutters
“Clare has been helping me to make a website for a new start-up called Art and Energy. She is clear, concise and asks really good questions and we now have a website framework that is really easy to update and use. Clare is very generous with her time and is thoughtful with her wonderful pearls of wisdom.” — Chloe Uden, Director
“When the project directors were looking for a web designer we were sure that Clare Bryden would be a good choice. Our confidence was more than justified. Clare showed clear understanding of the project’s ethos, aims and objectives and designed a web site that reflected that understanding. The site, oncommonground.net was everything that we had hoped for – it conveyed our ethos very well, presented information clearly and was easy to use. Thank you Clare.” — Prof John Bryant and Canon Anna Norman-Walker
