I needed a website for my flooring company and being that I’m a bit of a dinosaur in regards to Computers and websites I couldn’t have been in better hands than with Ryan (Downes digital). He is very friendly, helpful and professional and in my case patient. My opinion is that I think he goes above and beyond for his customers and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend his services Thanks again Ryan.

Exceptional partner for high-end development

As the founder of Third Eye Open, I collaborate with Ryan and Downes Digital whenever a project demands high-end, custom development. We work hand in hand, blending my UX and UI direction with Ryan’s technical depth, and the results are consistently outstanding.

What sets Ryan apart is the combination of quality, responsiveness and attitude. He’s calm, clear, solutions-focused and genuinely invested in getting things right. There’s never any drama, just sharp communication and solid delivery every time.

Downes Digital is the kind of development partner you want in your corner — reliable, talented and always elevating the work. Highly recommended.

Ryan has worked with us at Project Solar as we overhaul our lead gen website, and I’d highly recommend him for businesses looking to do similar. He has delivered major changes quickly and with high quality, and we’ve seen a notable increase in site conversion rate as a result. Ryan is also a pleasure to deal with, very forthcoming with recommendations and best practices, and regularly goes above and beyond to facilitate our requests.

I had the pleasure of working with Ryan on a couple of website projects. He certainly knows his craft. He communicates technical work clearly, and doesn’t try to bamboozle you with jargon or fluff.

All his work was delivered on time and to an excellent standard. I’d happily recommend Ryan to anyone who needs help from a skilled web developer who actually follows through on what he promises.

Ryan did an outstanding job building my clinic website from the ground up. He took the time to understand my vision, my brand, and the functionality I needed, and turned it into a clean, modern, and user-friendly site. Communication was excellent throughout the project, and any changes or refinements were handled quickly and professionally. I’m really pleased with the end result and would highly recommend Ryan to anyone looking for a reliable and talented web designer.

I recently worked with Ryan on the launch of a new website and I was really impressed with his work. He delivered things within the timeline he said and was very easy to work with.
He was flexible and also added a few extra flourishes to the way the design was used on the website to give it that extra special feel.
Thanks Ryan, look forward to working together again!

Choose Downes Digital for WordPress Websites & SEO.

Google ranks web pages using Experience, Expertise, Authority and Trustworthiness. Without SEO, you make it difficult for potential customers to find you, no matter how much time and money you’ve invested into your website. Ticking Google’s boxes and standing out from the crowd requires well-crafted content based on in-depth keyword research. Technical ‘back end’ SEO is as important for improving organic traffic.

Frequently Asked Questions.

How do we get started?

It starts with an online meeting, to better understand your requirements and goals, but we can meet in person if you prefer. After that, if you want to go ahead, we’ll start scheduling the work.

Why should I not go with another web designer?

Your website is a long-term investment and you need to make sure its in the right hands. Our WordPress websites are designed to showcase your business to its best advantage. With more than a decade’s experience, we know what works and will give you the full benefit of our expertise. We have a proven track record of delivering websites that convert.

What if I don’t like the finished website?

That won’t happen. We keep a constant stream of communication with you and seek your input at every stage to implement your ideas. Nothing will be a surprise. We want you to be as involved as possible and we’ll work with you as we go until you’re satisfied.

What is your lead time?

Lead times will vary depending on the size, structure and complexity of the project. We’ll keep in touch after the initial consultation and let you know when we’re ready to get started.

Do you offer payment plans?

Yes, for projects which far exceed the typical budget. This is likely to be a website that requires more custom functionality and has a longer lead time. We can talk you through the particulars in your initial consultation and advise whether your project would suit a payment plan. It’s also worth noting that your web design and development can be more cost-effective if you sign up for our contract-free SEO strategy.
