My name is Bruce, a freelance website designer operating under the moniker Phase Three Goods. Based in Norwich, I work for small businesses, sole traders, SMEs, charities and creative start-ups.
Whether providing a website, logo or an SEO spruce, Phase Three Goods caters to those otherwise unable to get their online vision off the ground. I operate locally as a web designer in Norwich and offer remote work for clients across the United Kingdom.
Say Hello!
It’s a valid question. In this day and age you can quickly assemble a website using theme builders, drag and drop editors and free templates. Why spend the time and effort paying a freelance web designer?
In a nutshell, everyone’s a critic. With respect to the automated templates, you can spot them a mile off. Websites form the vital first impression of a business, so it stands to reason that they should look unique.
Besides looks, you’d also want your website to work under the hood – search engine optimisation, site speed, web hosting, mobile layout – the list goes on.
A freelancer is one person. That means you have one point of contact, answerable to you and only you. You need not juggle between front and back end, designer and developer, writer and SEO consultant. I take on all manner of work and contain it within one project.
The same goes for changes, site updates and support; I am available and willing, and cannot hide between departments. The best business relationships are built on communication. If you live in Norwich, let’s have tea!
The goods are local. I will always lean towards people and businesses who affect their communities. Whether that’s promoting a musician or renovating a teashop’s website, I like to think the work leads to healthier connections.
I’m a contributor to the Norfolk Tech Journal, a hub of information for Norwich website designers, and have received support from the NWES Enterprise centre, whom I cannot recommend enough.
I am also a committee member at Norfolk ProHelp, a branch of Business In The Community that serves charities and nonprofit organisations. For a more ad hoc explanation of my business and web designers in general, have a listen to my interview with Norwich’s Future Radio.

I was asked to appear on Norwich’s Future Radio to discuss web design. It was a great experience all round, not only to get out of the house but also to revisit the broadcasting world of my student days.
