I work with great individuals, small-to-medium sized businesses and start-ups.
I aim to have a great relationship with all my clients where I can add value to their business by being dependable, honest and by doing the type of work that makes a difference.
I’m based locally in Wolverhampton (West Midlands) and spend a lot of my time working in and around, Dudley, Walsall, Birmingham, Coventry & the rest of the West Midlands.
I also work remotely across the rest of the UK.

I like to work directly with my clients so I’m currently unavailable to work with agencies.
Timothy Oxendale
Freelance Web Designer & Developer
Just so you know a little bit about me, my name is Timothy Oxendale, I am 29 years old and I was born and raised in Blackburn (Lancashire). I moved from Blackburn down to Birmingham over 10 years ago and I am now living around the corner in Bilston (Wolverhampton) with my dogs (Hugh & Rosie) and my 2 cats.
I have been designing websites since I was 14 years old, but as a professional freelance web designer for over 8 years.
I donate my services to local charities and non-profit organisations in and around the Midlands. I do this one day every month. Get in contact, if you feel you could benefit from this service. I also donate food and supplies to the local Animal Rescue Centres as well as equipment to the local Scout group.
I have a simplified design style, I believe design should work with content, not dominate it. The same can be said for how I build websites. I like to keep my website markup clean and optimised for search engines. I believe usability is an integral part of the design and development process and something I’m constantly striving to improve.
I believe freelancing is more of a lifestyle than a job and I’m in it for the long run. I do try to stick to my office hours 9am to 6pm Monday to Friday, however I am flexible, you’ll find that if you email me Friday afternoon with a list of amendments, chances are they will be done and ready for your return to work on Monday morning.
I have a quicker start and fast turn-around time, as I usually only work on a couple of projects at any one time. This mean you will be a priority, whatever your website size or complexity.
Any enquiries, questions and uncertainties you may have are all answered by me, not a salesperson or account manager. However if I am with another client, I do have a lovely person who answers my phone to take a message. These get sent directly to me, straight away, wherever I am. A close designer-client relationship means that I have a much better understanding of your goals and requirements, producing fewer errors and invariably a better end result.
I have experience with lots of different kinds of business and knowledge spanning a wide variety of industries. Whether you are a blogger, an airline, or in a field I am yet to come across, I am able to use my experience, learning from you, to achieve the best outcome for you.
I work hard, have lower running costs and overheads than an agency, this gets passed on, you receive much better value for money.
I listen to your requirements, so I can deliver what’s is right for you. I like to work one on one and collaborate during every stage, using open communication and feedback, to build your perfect website.
I have been a freelance web designer & developer for the majority of my working life, I quickly learned that the phrase ‘time is money’ is often true. I work quickly and efficiently, managing my time effectively to ensure that I can produce the best work for you, within your timescale.
One of my clients wrote a review that summed all of this perfectly
"Everyone needs a Tim!"
I donate my services to local charities and non-profit organisations, I do this one day every month.
If you feel you could benefit from this or know someone that would please get in contact.
I’m currently looking to fill the spaces from August 2019 onwards.
I carefully calculate the carbon emissions produced as a result of my servers, computers, transport and a few other bits. I then offset these emissions by planting trees in the West Midlands. As the trees I plant are young, and will absorb much more carbon as they grow, I ensure the long term goal of being carbon positive.
My home/office is using 100% renewable electricity and green gas.
All my standard paper and media come from well managed sustainable forests with FSC or PEFC certifications.
Even massive companies with lots of security funding can suffer from breaches. For example, as many as 50 million Facebook users have had their security compromised. Do you know the right ways to invest in site security for your company? It’s often tempting to think that you’re immune to attacks. However, big brands aren’t the … Read more
More than two-thirds of people will give up on a website if it is ugly to look at. What people view as unattractive web design can change over time, too. You definitely don’t want to be stuck with a gimmicky design that is five years out of date. Knowing what is trending going into the next … Read more
Did you know that setting a measurable, quantifiable goal will increase your chance of reaching it? In the search engine optimization (SEO) world, this fact is no different. In order to see the level of involvement, as well as set new targets, you first have to measure SEO performance. But, there is yet to be … Read more
Understanding the importance of website design can be difficult. This is especially true when your business is putting forth a big investment towards it. Many come to terms with the mentality that if the website exists and functions, then it’s “good enough”. This is far from the case, unfortunately. In a digital era where the … Read more
