Web Design Portfolio
Individually Hand Crafted Web sites
All our web sites are designed and built in-house, tested on all browsers and validated for compliance with Web Standards. We keep up regular communication, involving you throughout the process so there's no nasty surprises.
Have a look at our work and read some of our clients comments to get a feel for what we do.
Content updating
If you need a web site you can update regularly such as a site to manage services, products, or keep in better contact with your clients, we can help with all stages of the process.
Simple static and content managed web sites
We build everything from one page mini sites to database driven multi user applications. Whatever the scale, the process is the same and starts with understanding your business and it's web needs. We find this works for our clients as they get a web site that actually works as a marketing tool.
For free and friendly advice contact us.
Price on Application
As a general rule I like to spend up to 4 days on planning and research and a week or so on wire framing, layout and detail design. The build can take 2 days to 2 weeks depending on complexity. The database dev is as long as it takes.
You should expect to employ me for between 2 and 6 weeks.

NVDC.co.uk
Having completed a dedicated dental architecture web site for NV Design & Construction, I was asked to provide ideas and designs for showcasing their residential work.
With the emphasis on project photography, we agreed on a letterbox content window with minimal text. Clever use of jQuery and css creates a smooth yet dynamic experience and one where project imagery really stands out.
"We have received a first class service from Sounds like Design. Tim Dyer has been creative, helpful, efficient and a good listener. He has taken our brief and responded accordingly to all the requirements on every stage of our web sites' developments."

GovanhillBaths.com
After an afternoon volunteering in the Govanhill Baths peace garden, I became involved with the Trust and set out working with them to renew their web site After extensive meetings involving user profiling and content organising and with ever-changing members of the web site working committee we finally got everything together to launch the new site.
" Tim Dyer at Sounds Like Design came on board with us in late 2009 and has helped (and continues to help) us develop and refine a most effective web site. It is impressive because of Tim's careful insistence on getting to know in detail what our Trust and campaign is all about and what we want and need from a web site. Impressive also because Tim's service is friendly, technically creative, supportive, highly efficient and most certainly helps to shape and promote the aims and purposes of our work. Grab this company quick if you want to promote and advertise your business, charity, work - whatever! You won't regret it for sure!"

CancerCars.co.uk
A database of all volunteer drivers for cancer care treatment in Scotland. One of the organisers came to me to provide a very easy to use web site providing users with the ability to search for a local driving scheme. The requirement for coming up in google searches is obvious. Search engine optimisation will be an ongoing job to ensure that this facility is widely used.
" Tim produced an excellent web site for our charity, at a very reasonable price. He listened carefully to our brief and made well considered suggestions. he produced a site that was both easy for cancer sufferers to use, and simple for us (who have very basic computer skills) to maintain. He was quick to deal with any problems of queries that we had. He continues to provide IT support and regular updates on the site."

GavinBrockwell.co.uk
A friend of my partner required his site to do more that just offer a few photos so he asked me for my ideas. We created a welcoming and personal feel by having easily updated twitter-sized snippets of info about what Gavin was doing right now. As an online showcase, Gavin now feels great when redirecting casting agents and film/stage directors to his web site.
"Tim has given me a clean and clear web site which contains lots of accessible information for people who wish to find out about me and my work. The design clearly stands out and I have received many compliments on both the look of the web site and the ease of use.
Tim was great as he listened to my ideas and wants for the web site as well as offering very perceptive comments, alterations and ideas. I am really pleased with the finished project and am proud to show it off as my advertising tool for my business. I have the web site exactly as I want it, working perfectly for all to see.
I am able to simply update the web site myself when required with photos and information, so their have been no extra costs so the site is permanently up to date with the information I wish to show.
Tim has always been on hand to answer questions or tweak the odd detail to the site and it's a pleasure to work with him as he is a nice guy."

StudioKAP.com
StudioKAP had a pretty clear idea of what they wanted so I let them direct the design whilst I advised on usability and the practical integration of design elements. The new site is fully content manageable which allows KAP to update their site news, projects and staff content in minutes. In the first few months, visitor numbers are already up 100%.
"studioKAP architects launched a new web site in March 2010 which has been comprehensively redesigned with Tim Dyer of Sounds like Design. Tim spent 6 months working with us; both critiquing our existing web site as well as making proposals for a new site. The process involved extensive discussions and presentations with the three studioKAP directors to both establish the overall ‘look’ for the new site as well as the means of its construction and navigation. Tim’s ability to make proposals as well his willingness to take on board our own ideas and suggestions allowed us to work very effectively together and we think that the compliments that have since been paid to us on its overall design are very much down to the nature of the working relationship that Tim helped establish. It has been very easy to work creatively with Tim as his overall manner is calm, encouraging and professional. We have no hesitation in recommending him to other companies."
