About me

I'm Richard Weld-Moore, a designer and developer with an extensive track record in building digital experiences.

I specialise in end-to-end digital design, from UI and visual design, all the way through to production and content management systems.

I've worked with a diverse range of clients from international festivals to furniture makers — and I'm equally comfortable working independently or embedded within a team.

Any successful site or app needs a solid design, that combines problem solving with an engaging interface. My process starts with listening, identifying your requirements and identifying user needs. 

From this stage, I create a design that looks good, engages visitors, and helps you achieve your goals.

As well as visual design, I handle the site build too. Working across both disciplines gives me a sharp insight into the design process and means I can execute it exactly as intended — with clean, lean, accessible code. 

My front-end skills span HTML, CSS/SCSS, JavaScript, and Git for version control.

For most sites and apps, I'd recommend building on a content management system — giving you full control over your content without requiring development for every update. 

I have extensive experience creating bespoke themes for WordPress and CraftCMS, and have worked with Shopify for e-commerce. I'm also familiar with a range of other platforms including Joomla and Kirby.

An online project doesn't end at launch. Once your site is live, I'd recommend an ongoing maintenance schedule to keep it running fast and malware-free. 

This can include backups, CMS and security updates, and any recommended hosting upgrades — with content entry available if needed.

A brand identity is much more than just a simple logo - it encompasses every aspect of how an organisation is perceived publicly.

From imagery and typography to colour and tone of voice, I can help create a visual identity that's memorable and consistent across digital and print.

Organisations often require a range of design outputs — from email newsletters and digital assets to printed leaflets, reports, and exhibition materials. 

With a background spanning both screen and print, I can ensure your design looks consistently great across every format.
