I'm a website designer and developer with over 15 years' experience. Based in Nottinghamshire, I have many happy clients all over the UK and beyond. I often work with the voluntary and charity sectors.

Paul Bell is a creative thinker and an innovative designer. When you have to face the daunting task of placing your concept into someone else's hand to turn into a reality, you need someone you can really trust and who understands your vision. Paul not only followed the brief with exceptional understanding but helped to craft our project into something which surmounted our expectations.
My client contracted Paul onto a recent website development project, and he did a great job. Paul has impressive skills and knowledge, and showed tenacity and attention to detail. He is very conscientious and provided us with exactly the level of support and explanation we needed right through the project.
Thanks so much for the CMS training, the new site is amazing! SO much better than what we have at the moment, and it looks really nice and clean. Thanks so much for making the CMS so easy to edit and so customised for us, I've worked with a couple of different ones before and this is by far the best and most intuitive I've seen!
The best way to contact me is by email. You can drop me a line to and we can start a conversation about working together.
