Chris was a pleasure to work with - during the design, and importantly in terms of ongoing service. He listens to what his clients want, and is patient and flexible should their ideas about the design evolve. I searched long and hard for the right person to design a clean, simple website that showcased images, and did not look 'off the shelf'. I'm delighted by the results that Chris has achieved, and take comfort that if I need to change anything, Chris will be able to help.

It's been a pleasure working with Chris for many years now. I have always found him incredibly professional and helpful to deal with - his work is first class and having such a well designed website is crucial to my business. I'd highly recommend him.

I had a clear vision for my new website – and Chris delivered it perfectly. A very thorough and professional job – and a really decent chap to work with… Thanks!

I used Chris Davies Web Design to design a completely bespoke photography website. I am absolutely delighted with the results - the design and functionality of the website is simply flawless. Working with Chris was a complete delight, anything I wanted to add to my site or customise, or any ideas I needed advice on (and there were plenty) - Chris was there to help and sort out immediately. When it comes to web design there is nothing that he cannot do. If you are looking for a bespoke web design, built and designed by someone who is at the top of their game, then I cannot recommend Chris Davies highly enough.

Chris designed and built what is now my fourth website and it is the very best yet (Also backed up by client comments). It goes without saying that Chris is a very talented designer and has a knack for creating the very best functional and SEO friendly websites for photographers. You only have to look at the list of photographers and tour companies who use and endorse his services to see that. Having worked with a few different web designers over the years however, it was Chris’s organisational skills, communication and reliability that stood out from the rest for me. You are kept informed of progress at every stage, however minor the detail and you feel like you are in safe hands right from the initial consultation. Aside from that, Chris is always on hand (After the build) to help you to update and make changes to your site, as hopefully your business grows. Emails are always answered promptly, and minor glitches and problems which occur along the way with any website are quickly resolved. I have found this ‘post build’ support to be sadly lacking with other designers. If you want to sleep easy knowing your business is in good hands, every penny spent with Chris is a worthwhile investment.

Chris has been our web designer for the past 10 years. The process of the initial design was dealt with in such a professional and personal manner that we knew we had hit the jackpot. Chris helped us through every step of the process and most importantly was there once the website went live. His backup service is incredible and any issues or updates that we have needed sorting have always been dealt with immediately.We have recently gone through the process of a re-design to update our website and this was handled in the same professional manner.Chris is an absolute delight to deal with, he is always polite, cheerful and has always found a solution where one was needed. I can highly recommend him as a professional web designer who cares deeply about his clients and has always provided the best service no matter what the request.

I was very apprehensive about the technical abilities required by myself for putting a website together and was therefore very appreciative of Chris's pleasant personality and great patience with me regarding all things technical.With myself having a background in graphic design, I was very pleased with the level of design sense offered by Chris. His superb technical abilities are second to none and I would be very pleased in recommending his services in building a professional website. I now have a website with great functionality and design. I hope my photography can do justice to Christopher's hard work.

Chris is a master of his craft and, in a very short time, built a site for my fine art business which shows both my photographs and glasswork in the very best light. In the past, I had made several attempts to work with other website templates available online, but none of them offered me the ability to achieve the vision I had, or the full range of site functionality I needed. Chris is professional, extraordinarily responsive, great to work with, and a top tier designer. Why would you ever look elsewhere?

Chris is a very personable, professional and capable web designer. He takes the time to understand your requirements and work with you to find the best solution in terms of design and functionality; drawing upon a wealth of experience and understanding of what actually works best in practice. Not afraid to highlight potential issues with ideas, and quick to find work around solutions. Always a pleasure to speak with. Highly recommended.

Chris recently completed the design and build of my photography website, and the whole process has been exemplary, and indeed enjoyable, throughout. He is very creative and responsive, readily accommodates design requests/refinements, is an excellent communicator (using loom, Basecamp etc to great effect), and delivered a high quality website at pace. A pleasure to work with, and highly recommended!

From the outset Chris was quick to understand our goals, his interpretation of my visuals was precise and completely sympathetic to the design, and his careful explanation of the build process was exemplary. He led me through the decisions to be made as the site evolved, patiently made changes where requested, and after the site went live made time to follow up with the necessary training and support.Working with Chris on our new site has been a pleasure, and I have no hesitation in recommending him.

Quite simply I was able to specify the general thoughts I had regarding a website and after a single call it was developed into something way beyond my initial concept. The final result and the journey to that point was an absolute pleasure with Chris offering great advice and also enhancements which made the site much quicker and streamlined. He always responds to any question, no matter how peculiar they may be, and often has seen the same question many times in the past. This allows for rapid solutions to be found. I felt the cost of the website was very reasonable especially with the amount of work required. I cannot recommend enough.

For the last ten years I have relied on Chris to design, build and maintain my website. I find Chris to be very professional, with an easy manner about him. As well as Chris’s excellent technical abilities, he has very good design sense. He is open to discussing functional aspects as well as my own aesthetic preferences, making the design collaboration a very easy one. I have found my experience with Chris to be very positive and would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone wanting a professional, bespoke website.

Chris created a stunning website for my photography business in Bristol. I work with stills and some moving image so it is important for my website to display both media types as effectively as possible. It definitely does. I'm particularly impressed with the speed of this thing compared to my old site. I'm not sure what magic is going on in the background but the site appears to be ranking higher now after just a month. Thanks so much Chris and all the best with your business!

I've suggested Chris to a few of my clients and he's gone on to make some amazing bespoke sites for them. If you're looking for a new website then don't look anywhere else!

Besides being a great web designer, Chris is polite, patient and professional. Nothing was too much trouble for him. His response rates are fantastic and the launch of our new site was faultless, on budget and had an immediate impact on sales. We cannot recommend him highly enough.

Chris recently designed a bespoke website for my business. I could not be happier with the website or my experience of working with Chris himself. Everything that I asked for on the site, Chris was able to provide. Throughout the process the communication with Chris was outstanding. I could not praise his professionalism enough, beyond that Chris is also extremely personable. Every request and question I have had relating to the site and the processes has been validated and responded to in a relatable manner. In addition, Chris has a real understanding of what it is like to run a small business, and he has a great deal of experience working with a multitude of business types (many of them creatives). He is passionate about his work and I felt my vision for my site was in safe hands from day one. Without hesitation I would recommend Chris time and time again.

Highly recommend! Chris created the Light and Land website 3 years ago and we couldn't be more pleased with it. Our clients often praise the ease of use and clean design and Chris is ALWAYS available at all times. He is efficient and fast to implement any changes we require at any time. I'd give ten stars if I could!

Chris provided a fantastic service to our business in designing a website that perfectly fitted our brief. He was with us every step of the way during the process and never failed to contact us straight away when we asked for help. From ascertaining exactly what we wanted to advising us on areas which we would never have thought about, Chris ensured that our website fulfilled our every need and it looks amazing! We would highly recommend Chris Davies Web Design to any future client.

Working with Chris was a breath of fresh air. He is professional, organised and extremely talented. It is rare to find someone who has not only the technical breadth to design a slick, fast and clean site, but also someone who understands user interaction and interface aesthetics. Too many web designers are clever guys with the technology, but lack the ability to make that technology seamlessly invisible to the end user. I'd recommend anyone looking for a professional website to give Chris a call !

We have worked with Chris for approximately 10 years and would readily recommend him to other people. He has the knowledge, experience and personal skills to ensure that client websites are based on the marriage of client needs and available technology. Support, when needed, is immediate. A true professional with a focus on client needs and service.

Working with Chris was an absolute joy. His ability to interpret the rather vague ideas I had for a redesigned website and turn them into something that was visually impressive, clean and simple to navigate was extraordinary. His listening skills are second to none, as is his technical knowledge and the way he manages to explain things to the technically challenged. Regular updates and messaging through a dedicated project platform makes detailed remote discussions during development really easy, and his use of videos that update you on progress and guide you through the use of the content management system are hugely helpful. I can't recommend him highly enough. Thank you Chris!

After being prompted by family and colleague's to get my photography work out there in the wider World I had a vision in my mind how I wanted to achieve this. Being a total novice in this field, I started to trawl the web for ideas and inspiration and when I came across a website I really liked, one web site designers name kept popping up. Chris Davies. Decision made, I contacted to Chris to sound out my proposals and after a chat we put a plan place. From concept to completion Chris made the process palpable for a novice like myself. He worked through the various build sections with me until the project was completed, guiding and advising all the way. I am exceptionally pleased with the end result as it matches my vision. Chris is always a pleasure to work with and I couldn't recommend him more highly if you are looking for a stand out website to display your work on. Dave Turney www.daveturney.photography

Chris Davies is THE web designer for photography website and much more. He has been my go-to web designer for ten years and I would not use any one else.

I cannot recommend Chris Davies Web Design highly enough. Not only for Chris's professionalism and expertise, but also for his supportive approach to the task of designing our website. I am not proficient with technology at all, and consequently I was concerned about finding a website designer who would be able to accommodate that. Chris was the ideal choice, as he was extremely patient, excellent at explaining every step of the process, and always quick to respond when we had a query. I was prepared for a daunting experience, but it turned out to be an absolute pleasure to work on the website with Chris.

I have had 2 websites built for my photography both have been by Chris Davis Wed Design. The First one was about 2011 and then second one in December 2019.

Good experience working with Chris. Accommodating and helpful and patient with my dearth of tech knowledge! Happy with my design and it all works well

My website simply wouldn’t exist without him.From the very beginning, his expertise and ability to troubleshoot effectively made what felt overwhelming actually manageable. What really stood out was his ability to explain everything in clear, layman’s terms without ever compromising on professionalism — I always knew exactly what was happening, why, and at what cost.He’s incredibly transparent with pricing, highly responsive, and consistently reliable. But beyond that, he genuinely went above and beyond the level of quality I initially expected. Every detail — even the smallest — was handled with care, and he never once pushed back on refinements or changes. That level of patience and precision is rare.I’m now on his quarterly maintenance plan, not just because the website he created is excellent, but because I want to make sure it continues to evolve and improve over time with his guidance and expertise✨️.I couldn’t recommend him more highly.
