What we do

We make websites that work beautifully and reflect who you are.

Our sites are built in Webflow, giving you a flexible, secure platform that looks great on every device.

We take care of the technical side so you can focus on running your business.

Why Webflow?

Why customers love us

Most of our work comes from word of mouth — and we’re proud of that.

People come to us because we’re approachable, reliable, and easy to talk to.

We build websites, yes — but mostly, we build long-term relationships.

Who we are

We’re a husband-and-wife team who blend creative design with solid technical know-how.

We believe websites should be beautiful, practical, and easy to use — and we put genuine care into every one we make.

On-going Support

Once your website is live, we are still there for you. From just an occasional question, or we can offer an on-going support package.

Understanding you and your audience

For your website to be effective, it needs to look and feel like you — not filled with gimmicks or trends that don’t fit your brand. It should clearly explain who you are and what you offer, so visitors quickly feel they can trust you and that you meet their needs.

We build everything from simple one-page sites to complex multi-page, e-commerce, and portfolio websites — all designed to speak directly to your customers. Every site we create is fast-loading, responsive on all devices, and built with a focus on page speed and SEO.

At Ventnor Web Design, we take time to listen and understand your business before we start. That’s how we build websites that truly reflect your voice and connect with your audience.

Whether you need a straightforward static website that rarely changes, or a full CMS you can update yourself, we’ll make sure your site fits you — and becomes a natural part of your brand.

Why choose us?

How about an informal chat over coffee?

About Us

We’re Richard Taylor and Vikki Fox — two down-to-earth people based in Ventnor.

We love meeting clients face to face because it’s the best way to get to know you and your business. An informal chat over coffee — at a café or Isle of Wight location that suits you — helps us understand what you need and how we can help.

This relaxed approach means you get a feel for who we are, too. After all, people work best with people they trust. There’s no charge or obligation for an initial meeting — and the coffee (and cake) is on us!

Our small team

Richard

THE FIXER

I've been an information technology professional for 40 years; from the smallest of small companies to being a senior consultant for the world's largest professional services company.

I have spent much of that career in the retail sector and enjoyed the constantly changing needs of retailers to meet the demands of their customers.

Today I bring that professional IT experience to benefit the smaller companies that have always been my roots.

Outside of IT I play bass in bands and provide sound engineering services and equipment.

Vikki

THE FINISHER

My design career spans almost 40 years, starting in graphic design in the mid-1980s and later running my interior design business, Ziboh Interiors, since 1993.

Just as a great interior evokes emotion, so should a website. Whether high-end or light-hearted, it must reflect you and speak to your customer.

I handle the visual and design sides of each website and am a stickler for detail, ensuring every site is consistent and accurate.

Outside of web design, I’m a novice drummer and ceramic artist working from my home studio.
