Web design in Henley-on-Thames, RG9

Nearby help for websites that need proper thought.

I am Magnus Petersson, a freelance web designer and developer based in Henley-on-Thames. I work best with businesses, charities, professional services, and long-term clients who need someone to understand the whole picture, then make the website clearer, more useful, and easier to look after.

Websites that fit the organisation.

A good website is rarely just a set of pages. It has to explain what you do, support trust, work well on phones, be easy to maintain, and give people a reason to get in touch. For some clients that means a lean, elegant site. For others it means a WordPress platform with directories, member areas, profile management, front-end submissions, payments, or multilingual content.

Because I work across strategy, design, build, photography, SEO, email, and ongoing support, the pieces stay connected. You are not dealing with a designer who disappears at handover, or a developer who treats the visual and editorial work as someone else’s problem.

What tends to come with the work.

Most local projects need a practical mix rather than a single isolated service. These are the pieces I most often bring together.

Web design and build

Design and development handled as one piece of work, so the finished site feels coherent and performs properly.

WordPress development

Bespoke themes, structured content, directories, membership features, front-end submissions, and practical editing workflows.

Brand, photography, and content

Visual identity, original photography, and content direction, so the site has substance rather than placeholder polish.

SEO and ongoing support

Search visibility, technical care, updates, hosting support, email infrastructure, and the small changes that keep a site alive.

Local, and genuinely experienced.

I have been building websites since 1997. Recent work includes a legal events directory with membership and payments, a professional mediation website with front-end profile management, and health community platforms with practitioner directories, shop infrastructure, and ongoing development.

If you are looking for web design in Henley-on-Thames, the location matters because it makes conversations easier. The experience matters because the work often turns out to be bigger than "we need a new website".

Before we talk.

Do you only work with clients in Henley-on-Thames?

No. I’m based in Henley-on-Thames, RG9, and I’m happy to work locally, but many projects are remote or long-term relationships across the UK and Europe.

Do you build WordPress websites?

Yes. WordPress is often the right choice when a site needs structured content, directories, membership tools, front-end submissions, multilingual content, or a familiar editing system.

Can you help with SEO?

Yes. SEO is part of the wider picture: site structure, page speed, metadata, useful content, local search signals, analytics, and the practical routes that help people find you.

What if I do not know exactly what I need?

That is normal. A lot of projects begin as a loose problem. The first useful step is usually to work out what matters, what already exists, and where the real work sits.
