About

My name is Barry Ramsay and I am a freelance web designer. I have been creating websites professionally since 1999 and have maintained a passion for creative design and the internet. I am based in Basingstoke, Hampshire, UK and have worked with both local and national customers.

5 things about me

  1. My head is too big. I often have to squeeze my melon into go-kart and climbing helmets, despite them being labelled XXXL
  2. I have two adorable little time bombs kids which one day will sleep past 6:00am
  3. Whenever someone mentions Alton Towers all I can think about is watching a friend eat a bubble gum donut
  4. At school I was good at badminton, my wife once declared "badminton is for girls"
  5. I am terrible at fancy dress

What my clients say

  • Barry was able to provide a high quality professional and personal web design service to help us develop our corporate blog design. He was successful in understanding our specific branding requirements and delivered results that exceeded our expectations.

  • I have worked with Barry for almost ten years, initially as a colleague and since 2006 when I moved on to run my own business, as a supplier. His work is of a consistently excellent standard and he is highly creative. We can rely on Barry to "deliver the goods" when it matters and his design is invariably well-received by our clients. Apart from being a reliable and invaluable supplier, he has become a key member of our team whose work is respected by all. Perhaps more importantly, he is great person to work with - a fantastic bloke!

  • I've used Barry ever since he started and will definitely be working with him again. He has produced both website templates and logo designs for me and the quality and inventiveness of his design work is excellent. I've already recommended him to my colleagues in the web design industry and will have no hesitation in recommending him in future.

  • Just thought we would let you know how things are going with the business. We have been trading for 8 months now and we are taking an impressive 57% of bookings online. We are extremely pleased with our online side of the business.  The feed back we have from our customers is always positive.  We are also approached on a regular basis by people in the same business as us enquiring as to who designed our site.

    Both Jayne and I are delighted with Barry.  We have felt in safe hands from the first consultation up to the continuing after sales service he provided.

    We would be very happy to recommend you to any prospective customers
