Timothy Oxendale
Freelance Web Designer & Developer
I have been designing websites since I was 14 years old, but as a professional freelance web designer for over 12 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'm also quite environmentally conscious, so it was only right that my business/life would be setup in a way to better the world, find out more here.
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.
My name is Timothy Oxendale (Tim), I am 32 years old and I was born and raised in Blackburn (Lancashire). I moved down from Blackburn to Birmingham city centre over 13 years ago to go to Aston University and I am now living around the corner in the Black Country (Bilston, Wolverhampton) with my wife, daughter, two dogs and cats.
If I do manage to find some time where I'm not working, then I'm usually outside either out walking/exploring with the family or down at my allotment trying to grow something more than just weeds. On the rare occasion, I have a few days free then I'll be found camping somewhere!

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 means 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 July 2022 onwards.
I am a volunteer director at Gatis Community Space in Wolverhampton
(Acts of random caring community interest company).
Where our aim is to provide a safe and inclusive centre that puts community at the heart of its diverse projects.
Empowering people to be better versions of themselves.
Enabling change to a sustainable future.
