An introduction to Pennine Websites Web Development

Jamie McBain BSc

Pennine Website Design and Development, Barnard Castle

I have over 25 years experience in designing and making websites and have a degree in Computing and Cartography from Oxford Brookes University. When I am not making websites for people I enjoy walking in Teesdale with my dog.

I now look after about twenty-five live websites which can be seen on my portfolio pages. Please contact me to discuss your project.

FAQs

Some answers to frequently asked questions

Yes, our websites are responsive and mobile-ready. They are designed to adapt to different screen sizes and devices. This means that the website will adjust its layout and appearance to provide an good user experience on smartphones, tablets, laptop and desktop computers.

Do you provide support?

I provide assistance to website owners who have questions, issues, or problems with their website. This includes answering questions, troubleshooting technical issues, and providing guidance on how to use the website.

Are your websites bespoke?

My websites are custom-designed to the specific needs and preferences of your business or organisation. They can be more expensive than pre-made or template-based websites but offer a higher level of customisation and a unique design that is tailored to the specific needs of you and your clients.

Fast and reliable Amazon Web Services hosting, domain names, SSL security certificates and reliable Microsoft email accounts can be provided with your website.
