James Bakewell

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

Every project I take on is handled personally by me, from initial discovery through to launch and beyond. That means no miscommunication, no delegating to junior developers. Just focused, high-quality work that reflects your brand and meets your goals.

Technical Excellence

Clean, performant code built with modern frameworks and best practices. Every site is fast, accessible, and built to last.

Business-First Approach

I understand that your website is a business tool. Every decision I make is guided by what will help you achieve your goals.

The Process

01
Step 01

Discovery & Strategy

I start every project by getting to know your business, goals, and target audience. This phase includes competitor analysis, requirement gathering, and defining a clear project roadmap.

Step 02

Design & Prototyping

With a clear strategy in place, I create wireframes and visual mockups that align with your brand. You will see and approve the design direction before a single line of code is written.

Step 03

Development & Integration

Clean, well-structured code brings your design to life. I build with performance and scalability in mind, integrating any third-party tools or APIs your business needs.

Launch & Optimisation

After thorough testing across devices and browsers, your project goes live. I handle deployment and post-launch support, monitoring performance and making improvements.

I only take on a handful of projects per quarter.

That means every client gets my full focus from kickoff to launch. I'm currently booking for Q2 2026. If you want a site that's built right, now is the time to reach out.
