The agency way

The Bakewell Digital way

Hi, I'm James. I build things properly.

James Bakewell

I'm a freelance web developer, designer and data specialist based in the UK. I founded Bakewell Digital to give businesses direct access to high-quality digital work, without the overhead of a traditional agency.

Every project is handled personally, from the first conversation through to launch and beyond. No miscommunication and no delegating to juniors. Just focused work that reflects your brand and meets your goals.

  • A direct line

    You deal with me from the first call to launch, and after.

  • Fixed prices

    Agreed in writing before work starts. No hourly surprises.

  • Built to last

    Clean, fast, accessible code that you own outright.

How I work.

Four clear stages, the same for every project. You always know what's happening, what's next and what it costs.

  1. Discovery & Strategy

    I get to know your business, goals and audience, then map out a clear plan and timeline.

  2. Design & Prototyping

    You see and approve the design direction before a single line of code is written.

  3. Development & Integration

    Clean, fast code brings it to life, with the tools and integrations you need built in.

  4. Launch & Optimisation

    Tested on every device, launched, then monitored and improved once it is live.

Don't just take my word for it.

Great communication throughout the whole process, and I'm really happy with how the website turned out. Highly recommend James to anyone looking to get their website built or refreshed!”

A handful of projects, full attention.

I only take on a few projects at a time, so every client gets my full focus from kickoff to launch. Tell me about yours and I'll come back within 24 hours.
