The passionate professionals behind Quality Website Design.
Founder
Founder
Back in 2003 when life was simpler and there was far less competition, Darren had the idea of starting QWD. With a lot of hard work and a tiny bit of luck he rocketed QWD to the top spot in Google for a brief period. A musical prodigy, Darren is an accomplished rock guitarist and pianist.
WordPress Expert
Rebecca is from up North, but don't let that put you off. When it comes to WordPress she really knows her stuff and has all the talent and experience required. She is a valued member of our team and hopes one day to live in a Castle in Cornwall which, based on the wages we pay her, is unlikely to happen.
Customer Relations
As anyone who deals with the public will tell you, there is nothing worse than having to deal with the public. Luckily for us, we don't have to. With his charm and unmatched patience David makes sure we have an understanding of our customer's requirements so that we get the job done right and faster.
Web Genius
Tim is an experienced developer and designer, and a valuable member of our team having worked on many large and corporate websites in the past. Tim is also an expert in SEO and online digital marketing.
Translation
Mari is from Spain. Fluent in several languages including obviously Spanish, Catalan and English, she works on the translation side of things allowing us to create foreign language websites for many of our international and overseas customers.
Photography
With almost a lifetime of experience in photography David has become quite good at it. His eye for detail coupled with an expert knowledge in the use of Photoshop and image retouching allow us to offer you high quality shots of your products for e-commerce websites.
Copywriting
Can't think what to say? Most of our customers don't have this problem, but once in every while words escape them. If you are unable to provide us with words for your website, then Nikkie is our experienced copywriter waiting to help. Nikkie's hobbies include talking and shopping at Sainsbury's.
Video
Anushka is in charge of our video department. Although a niche area, there is demand for 2-3 minute corporate promotional videos to be included on our clients' websites. Anushka is a fun lively member of the team and has worked for countless media companies including Disney and ITV.
