Chris Fickling Design

Chris Fickling Design is a Nottingham-based practice run by Chris Fickling, who has been building websites since 1996 and became self-employed in 2003. Clients span Nottingham and the East Midlands, with further work reaching businesses across the UK, Europe and the USA, giving the practice a mix of local trade contacts and organisations with wider reach.

Work covers website design, e-commerce development, branding, graphic and print design, and web development, with projects typically starting at initial consultation and running through logo design, photography and artwork. Sites are built with responsive design so clients can manage their own content afterwards, and a marketing service is available for those wanting help promoting a site once it's live. The approach is described as straightforward and clear rather than overly technical, drawing on years of hands-on build experience.

Project examples include website development for one of the largest specialist supported housing providers in the UK and a digital presence build for The Johnson Partnership, one of the country's largest criminal defence solicitors' firms. Smaller-scale local work includes a website design for KAM Window Cleaning in Nottingham and a redesign for Benessamy Wedding & Event Planning. Together these show a range from large-sector organisations needing functional, content-managed sites to smaller local businesses needing a clear web presence, all handled through the same consultation-to-launch process.
