What we do

We design and build custom websites that look great, work flawlessly, and grow with your business. Every site we created is crafted in Webflow—so it’s fast, secure, and easy for you to update without needing a tech degree.

Our websites are designed to feel friendly and approachable. A website sits between you and your customer, so it needs to speak for you and be in your voice.

About Us

We are Richard Taylor and Vikki Fox, two down-to-earth people living in Ventnor. We love face-to-face meetings with clients, as we believe this is the best way to get to know people.

An informal chat over coffee, at a cafe or IoW location to suit you, allows us to learn about you and your business, and your requirements too. This relaxed approach means you get a sense of us as people.

People deal with people, so it's important to build trust from day one. There is no charge for an initial in-person meeting, there's no obligation, and the coffee (and cake) is on us!

Understanding you and your audience

For your website to be effective, it needs a few key ingredients. The look and feel must represent you, and not be full of novelty gimmicks. Your website has to clearly explain about you and what you offer, so people landing on it feel they can trust you and you that fit their need. Navigation must be intuitive so visitors can find what they want, quickly and easily. And last but not least, your website needs to load fast, and be responsive on all devices.

We build everything from single page websites, to complex multi-page sites, along with e-commerce and portfolios. Websites that will speak to your customers.

We focus on page speed for improved SEO and a mobile-first approach, saving you precious time and unnecessary workload of doing it yourself.

Ventnor Web Design will listen to you so we can understand your individual and unique needs. Only then can we create a website that speaks with your voice, to your audiences. After all, your website has to be about you, and be part of your brand, not something to one side of it.

We can create you a simple static website which is perfect for when changes are infrequent and you don't wish to create your own on-going content. Or we can a full CMS website which allows you to make as many changes as you want, so you maintain a fresh and up-to-date website.

We will work with you to build your home in the digital world

Why choose Ventnor Web Design?

Richard

HEAD OF JARGON & TECH

I've been an information technology professional for 40 years; from the smallest of small companies to being a senior consultant for the world's largest professional services company.

I have spent much of that career in the retail sector and enjoyed the constantly changing needs of retailers to meet the demands of their customers.

Today I bring that professional IT experience to benefit the smaller companies that have always been my roots.

Outside of IT I play bass in bands and provide sound engineering services and equipment.

Vikki

HEAD OF AESTHETICS AND DETAIL

My design career spans almost 40 years, starting in graphic design in the mid 1980s and then running my own interior design business (Ziboh Interiors) since 1993.

Just as a great interior evokes an emotion, so should a website. Whether it is high-end or light-hearted, it must represent you and speak to your customer in exactly the right way.

I work on the visual and design sides of each website. I am a stickler for detail, and like to tick all the 'Ts' and dot all the 'Is', to ensure each website is consistent and accurate.

Outside of website design I am a novice drummer, and a ceramic artist working from my home studio.
