Responsive WordPress Websites
Reliable and Engaging
WordPress is probably the most popular content management system in used today and powers millions of websites around the world for small, medium or large organisations.
When WordPress is used to the full, it offers one of the most powerful websites you could possibly have but at the same time is easy to use on a daily basis.
With many options and plugins available backed by an enormous user base you cant really go wrong with having a website built using WordPress.
We have many years of developing custom themed sites using WordPress and can design and build unique responsive and mobile friendly websites from scratch.
If you have purchased an html template and want it converted to be used with WordPress we can do that too and get your site up and running looking and working exactly how you want it to.
All the WordPress sites we build are given enhancements for security, search engine optimisation and are vigorously checked to make sure they perform and will carry on being reliable.
WordPress is an ideal platform to make quick, easy changes to any website and can include all manner of functions from a full online shop to a gallery.
Anything goes with WordPress and you wont be disappointed with it, a lot of of website owners who have never used WordPress wonder why they did not before.
Responsive, Mobile Friendly Web Design:
All the websites we build for clients are responsive and mobile friendly – this means they will work on all devices into the future.
Always using the latest tech:
Sites we build use the latest and most current technology so they are future-proof and work well on all browsers whether mobile or desktop.
Unique Designs to suit your business:
All our sites are built for you so they don’t look the same as anyone else’s. We dont use templates unless we are specifically requested. Sites should be a special and unique as you are.

Friendly and Supportive:
For a new or established business having a new site can be a daunting prospect. John has many years experience in web design so let him guide you through the minefield. Having a new website should not be a nightmare and you should not be left feeling short changed.
Why Mobile-Friendly Design Matters
I always try to visit you and spend some time learning about your business to start with, because if I understand you and your business then together we can create a site you are proud of. My whole aim is to guide you through the process so we end up with something we are both happy to show off.
All sites are built to be mobile friendly which means they work really well on Mobile Phones and Tablets, are fast at loading and are SEO optimised from the start so they will rank well from the beginning. This means they also work well on PC’s and Laptops.
When I create a site its not just about how it looks, but I also ensure all the code is how it should be, measure the performance and how quickly it loads, test it on a vast array of mobile devices and browsers and also optimise the whole site so it loads quickly. Everything from images, hosting, to reducing the amount of scripts is taken into account.
The Web Design Process
Research
When I design and build a website I spend time researching and analysing you and your business, your customers and your competitors. This helps to build and define exactly what you want to achieve from your website. All my consultations are free of charge.
Discussion
I ask you about your business and create a brief of your requirements, your wants and desires, what you do and don’t like, colours, fonts and all manner of others things. After I have compiled this brief I send it to you along with a quote.
Design
When we are happy with where we are going and you are happy with the price, I then design the site in Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator. When you are feeling good with how it all looks I then begin the building of your site.
Handover
When the site build is complete and we are happy with how it performs and its working well, then I officially hand it over to you. I generally don’t take payment until this point, but if its a big site I may sometimes ask for a deposit, dependent on the time it will take to complete.
Aftersales
After your site is up and running, I wont just leave you either, I will ensure its running properly and usually perfom little tweaks here and there if you require them, like an image change or a title change. If its a larger change like additional pages, then we can discuss the options and how much it will cost.
Web Hosting
When it comes to hosting I dont skimp but use a professional hosting company with good quality, reliable and fast servers. I tend to shy away and advise against using the cheaper bulk hosting companies as they dont offer as much when it comes to support and hosting tools.
We do things when we say we are going to do them and don't leave it for weeks to answer your queries.
Because having a new site should be fun
More About John & AnodisedBlue
I started my career as an Engineering Apprentice, honing my craft as a Vertical Miller and CNC Machinist/Programmer before progressing into Production and Design Engineering. I also served as a Photographic Interpreter and Intelligence Analyst in the Royal Air Force, before moving into IT and Graphic Design — a natural progression as engineering increasingly became IT-driven. Along the way, I gained extensive experience in Engineering Project Management within manufacturing, where I learned the importance of delivering work on time and within budget. I hold university qualifications in Mechanical Engineering, a BSc (Hons) in Software Engineering, and am also a Six Sigma belt and experienced Project Manager.
Throughout my career, I have worked on and led a variety of large-scale, high-value projects. These include the introduction of Iseki tractors, Jacobsen turf machinery, and E-Z-Go golf carts into the UK, as well as contributing to the design and development of JCB wheel loaders and heavy machinery. While with the RAF, I carried out mission-critical intelligence analysis on a Tornado squadron, and earlier in my career was part of the engineering team responsible for designing the HVAC system for the Cathedral of Christ the Saviour in Moscow. I have also held the role of Communications Director for a charity providing outward bound opportunities for disabled and underprivileged children.
Today, I run AnodisedBlue from a home-based design studio, providing professional web, graphic, and digital marketing services. None of my work is outsourced — everything is handled personally to ensure quality, consistency, and accountability. I take pride in being approachable, responsive, and reliable, with services that are tailored to each client’s needs while remaining cost-effective.
Most of my business comes from referrals, recommendations, and repeat clients, a reflection of the long-term relationships I build and the trust clients place in the quality of the work delivered.
