Why work with a Cardiff-area web designer from Carmarthen?
Cardiff has plenty of agencies, but many small businesses want a single developer who answers WhatsApp, quotes honestly, and ships without layers of account management.
The capital mix (city centre firms, Cardiff Bay hospitality, professional services, and suppliers across South Wales) means one-size-fits-all templates rarely fit. I tailor structure and copy to how you actually win work.
You still get production-grade builds (this site is Next.js on Vercel). The difference is direct contact and pricing that reflects a freelance workflow, not a capital-city office overhead.

A bit about me
Who am I?
Hi, I'm Zak Furness, a freelance web designer and developer based in Carmarthen, West Wales. I work from home and build sites for businesses that need something clear, fast, and easy for customers to use on a phone.
I work with businesses across Cardiff city centre, Cardiff Bay, and the wider capital region, remotely from Carmarthen.
I've been doing web development for 7+ years, mostly through Fiverr and Upwork, working with 180+ clients on websites, browser extensions, and SaaS projects. Recently I've been focusing more on direct work with local businesses, so you deal with me on WhatsApp or a call, not an agency account manager.

FAQs for Cardiff
- Do you travel to Cardiff for meetings?
- Day-to-day work is WhatsApp and scheduled calls. I’m based in Carmarthen and serve Cardiff remotely, which keeps costs down and projects moving quickly.
- Who do you build Cardiff websites for?
- Small and medium businesses: trades, consultants, food and drink, retail, creative studios, and founders who need a credible site before pitching bigger clients.
- Can you help with SEO in Cardiff?
- Every site ships with sensible titles, metadata, speed, and structure. Ongoing SEO retainers aren’t my focus. I build the site right first; you can layer local SEO or content marketing on top.
- How much does a website cost?
- Websites start from £300 depending on complexity and the features you need. I’ll give you a fixed quote after we scope the work. No surprise invoices.
- Is hosting included, or do I pay every month?
- There’s no monthly hosting bill from me. Your site runs on Vercel’s free hosting tier, so you’re not paying a platform subscription on top of the build. Your main ongoing cost is usually just renewing your domain name each year, typically around £10–£15 with most registrars.
