Freelance web designer & developer in Wales
I'm Zak Furness, a freelance web designer and developer based in Carmarthen, working with businesses across Wales. I handle design and development end to end: layout, build, mobile performance, and launch on your domain. From Cardiff and Swansea to North Wales and the coast, you get one contact from first message to go-live.

Web design & development across Wales
I work remotely with clients Wales-wide. WhatsApp for quick questions, booked calls for scoped quotes, and staging links so you can review before go-live. No fake local offices, just honest service-area delivery from Carmarthen.

Affordable web design in Wales
Many Welsh businesses need a professional website without agency prices. As a freelance web designer and developer, I keep overheads low and quote honestly after a short call.
Straightforward brochure sites for trades and local services often start from around £500, with free Vercel hosting and no monthly platform fees from me on the build. Larger projects with extra pages, integrations, or custom development are scoped separately.
South Wales web design & development
I work with businesses across South Wales, including Cardiff, Swansea, Newport, Bridgend, and Merthyr Tydfil. Most projects run remotely with WhatsApp and scheduled calls, so you are not waiting on a city-centre agency to fit you in.
Live location pages cover Cardiff and Swansea in more detail. If you are searching for a web designer in South Wales or South Wales web design, those pages go deeper on local service areas while this hub covers all of Wales.

Why work with a Wales-based web designer & developer?
Wales has no shortage of agencies, but many small businesses want one developer who answers WhatsApp, quotes honestly, and ships without layers of account management.
From South Wales cities to Mid and North Wales towns, one-size-fits-all templates rarely fit. I tailor structure and copy to how you actually win work in your patch.
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 city-centre 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 Wales-wide from my home office in Carmarthen, with live location pages for Cardiff, Swansea, Carmarthen, and Llanelli.
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 Wales
- Do you offer web development in Wales?
- Yes. I am a freelance web designer and developer, so I handle both the visual design and the technical build. Typical work includes Next.js business websites, contact forms, service pages, light web apps, and performance-focused launches on your domain.
- What is the difference between web design and web development?
- Web design covers layout, branding, and how the site looks and reads. Web development is the technical build: structure, speed, forms, integrations, and go-live. On most projects I do both, so you have one point of contact from brief to launch.
- How much does affordable web design cost in Wales?
- Affordable brochure sites for trades and local businesses often start from around £500 for a focused build: homepage, services, areas covered, and contact. Larger sites with many pages, booking flows, or custom development are quoted after we talk through scope on a call.
- What areas in Wales do you cover?
- I serve businesses across Wales. Live location pages include Carmarthen, Llanelli, Swansea, and Cardiff. I also work with clients in Newport, Bridgend, Merthyr Tydfil, Aberystwyth, Wrexham, Llandudno, Bangor, Caernarfon, St Davids, and surrounding areas, with more town pages added over time. If you're in Wales and need a website, get in touch.
- Do you only work in South Wales?
- No. I'm based in Carmarthen in West Wales but work Wales-wide. Most projects run remotely with WhatsApp and scheduled calls, so distance is rarely a blocker.
