About Me
I'm Luke Hawkins, a freelance web designer based in Winchester, UK. I build websites that work - fast, secure, and production-ready.
I've worked at Rooster Marketing in Winchester, where I contributed to building and maintaining websites for major clients including Antler Homes, The Historic Dockyard Chatham, Henshaw Fox, and Financial Markets Online. These projects gave me experience across different industries and technical challenges.
Now, I work with businesses directly as a freelancer. I primarily create custom WordPress themes and have experience with modern frameworks like Next.js and React for more complex web applications.
I don't waste time. I get your project built properly, communicate clearly, and deliver on schedule. No fluff, no delays.
My Approach
Performance First
Every line of code is written with performance in mind. Fast loading times aren't optional - they're essential for conversions and SEO.
Clean Code
Maintainable, well-documented code that you or another developer can understand and extend. No messy shortcuts that cause problems later.
Security & Best Practices
Built-in security, proper authentication, and industry best practices. Your users' data is protected, and your software is reliable.
Results-Driven
I care about outcomes, not just deliverables. Your website or app should solve problems and achieve business goals.
