🌲 Out of Office 🌲

I'm now away for a much-needed family break and will be back on Monday 15th June.

Everything that was scheduled before my holiday has been completed, but if you need assistance while I'm away, please check the support guides at help.crjdesign.co.uk first. If it's a genuine emergency, send me a WhatsApp message and I'll get back to you as soon as I can.

This year has been busy, chaotic and, at times, incredibly difficult. After navigating a profound personal loss while continuing to run the business, I think a few days surrounded by trees, fresh air and family is exactly what's needed.

Thank you for your understanding, support and patience. See you soon!

One of the things I love most about running CRJ Design is that I get to work with a huge variety of people; family, friends, long-term clients, and clients who become friends along the way.

But every now and then, a project comes along that feels a little extra special.

I've known Max for over 20 years. We've been friends since childhood, so being trusted to design the cover for their very first book was a real privilege.

I'm incredibly proud to share Quiet Practice: A DeafBlind Druid's Guide to Practice Without Speech, which was released yesterday.

The book supports and empowers pagans and druids who want to explore spiritual practice without speech, whether due to sensory loss, anxiety, being non-speaking or non-verbal, curiosity, or simply wanting to challenge themselves. It's an important, thoughtful book centred around accessibility, inclusion, advocacy, and belonging.

Congratulations, Max! Seeing your first book out in the world is amazing, and I'm honoured that CRJ Design got to be part of the journey.

📗 Quiet Practice is available now from Amazon and Fenix Flames Publishing.

I'm delighted to launch the brand new website for The Oasis - Offered by Newquay Methodist Church 💜

CRJ Design first started working with the church back in 2022, and it’s been fantastic to support them as they’ve grown and opened their new community building and place of worship, The Oasis on Pargolla Road, in September 2025.

The new website features a fresh modern design, a powerful new events calendar, and showcases everything now happening at The Oasis, including regular groups and classes, worship, venue hire, EV charging, and new low-cost counselling services.

A brilliant project to be part of for such a welcoming and community-focused organisation 🙏

Today is Global Accessibility Awareness Day 🌍♿

The web should work for everyone.

From screen-reader friendly layouts and keyboard navigation to better colour contrast and readable fonts, accessible websites create better experiences for all users.

At CRJ Design, accessibility is something we actively consider when building websites, and we can also install a free accessibility plugin on your website completely free of charge. Just ask! 🩵

If it’s just a quick question via email, DM, text, or a short call, I won’t charge you. I think that’s just good manners, and I genuinely like helping my clients. Not everything needs to become a formal job or invoice.

But if something requires research, logging into your website, troubleshooting, configuration, content updates, or a bit of technical tinkering, then I do charge for my time — even if the task itself only takes 15 minutes.

Because that “15 minute job” is backed by 11+ years of experience, problem-solving, and knowing how to do it quickly and correctly. It’s also saving you time, frustration, and the risk of accidentally breaking something important in your website or sales process.

At this point I’ve worked with 200+ clients, and the amount of small website requests I receive each week is honestly quite significant. Little tweaks, edits, updates, fixes, plugin settings, content swaps, troubleshooting, and “quick jobs” all add up very quickly behind the scenes.

Unless you’re paying for ongoing admin/support time each month (via managed hosting, website maintenance, or a CRJ Design membership) those kinds of website edits aren’t included.

Just for clarity:
basic web hosting covers the technical/server side of your website and hosting-related issues — not website edits or content changes.

So for transparency:
• website edits/change requests are billed at £40/hr
• minimum charge is 30 minutes
• most small jobs fall within that minimum, so typically cost £20

And honestly, as a business owner, £20 to save yourself the time and hassle of figuring it out yourself is usually pretty great value.

That said, all websites I build are powered by WordPress, and you’re absolutely welcome to log in and make content changes yourself free of charge. I actively encourage clients to do this where they feel comfortable, and every client receives a user guide plus access to 100+ tutorials to help.

And finally — thank you to all of my clients who are always so understanding and gracious when I invoice for my time. It genuinely means a lot 🤍

Launched today! CRJ Design transformed the online presence of Nurture Day Nursery & Pre-School in Newquay 🌿

Their old website (over 14 years old!) was outdated and missing key features like mobile responsiveness, SSL security, and essential legal pages. We delivered a fresh, playful redesign using soft shapes and friendly graphics to reflect their warm, nurturing environment.

The new site also includes a blog, an easy-to-manage staff gallery, and is fully SEO optimised - all powered by our Green Web Hosting 🌍
