a design agency based in Penryn, Cornwall. We focus on web design, branding, graphic design and search engines.
Our approach is simple. We want to help your business make money.
We’re not “geeks” who talk in jargon and we’re not “creatives” who will throw a hissy-fit every 5 minutes. We’re business people, just like you.
Richard Quick Design is a Cornwall-based web design company that focuses on creating websites that help our clients make money. Our work is extremely high-quality, both in the design and technology we use. We know our clients are in business to make money, so we produce websites which help them to achieve this goal. We’re 100% focussed on our clients' ROI.
Most web design companies come from one of two angles.
Either they’re “geeks” or “creatives”.
Geeks are very clever. They know all the latest programming languages and tend to create websites which are technically very good … but they don’t usually understand (or even care) how to produce a website that makes money for their client. Geeks are hard for business people to talk to, as they use lots of technical jargon, often lack social skills and they don’t really understand business or what a business person wants from their website.
Creatives, on the other hand, want to produce attractive sites which look great on their portfolio … but that’s all they care about. Creatives tend to produce beautiful websites which make little or no money. Creatives can also be awkward to work with, as they’ve got big egos and they always think they’re right.
At Richard Quick Design, we aren’t “geeks” and we’re not “creatives”. We’re business people. We know our clients would rather have an ugly website that made thousands of pounds than an attractive one the made nothing. Not that our websites are ugly, of course! We don’t talk “geek” and we don’t throw hissy-fits. We talk the language you talk, the language of business. We want the same from your website as you do – we want it to make you money.
Of course, we’re also highly-talented and experienced web designers, but we see web design as a means to an end (making money for your business) rather than an end in itself.
Successful websites aren’t built overnight, they evolve over a period of months and years. So, it’s important that as a business you have a web design company you can work with over a period of time.
At Richard Quick Design, we see ourselves like your accountant or your lawyer. We’re a trusted partner you can turn to for advice, not somebody who takes your money, does your site, and runs.
By working with our clients over a period of months and years, we can gradually make improvements to your website, each time helping you to sell more products or get more qualified leads.
We want to be “your web designer” – just like “your bank manager”, “your accountant” or “your lawyer”.
A good website makes you money. It’s that simple. If done well, your website will be the best salesman you’ve ever had. If done badly, it’ll cost you thousands of pounds and you won’t see a penny in return.
We’re experts at creating websites which make money for our clients.
We're a small, talented team of designers and developers based in Falmouth, Cornwall.
Between us, we’ve worked on projects ranging in size from single page websites, to multi-million dollar website redesigns. There’s very little we haven’t done before and nothing we can’t cope with.

Richard had his first book on web design, Web Design in easy steps, published in 2007.
He said, "It's obviously very exciting to have been given the opportunity to write a flagship title like this, especially as I've also redesigned the whole series of books as well as the In Easy Steps website.
"Web Design in easy steps is actually quite different to any other web design book on the market right now.
Most other books on web design seem to me to fall into one of two categories. The majority teach you how to build a website, either using specific technology (HTML, CSS) or a specific program (Photoshop, Dreamweaver, Flash). Books with titles like Create a Website in 4 and a half seconds and Building sites with Dreamweaver for the mentally unstable fall into this first category.
"There's also a smaller market for books on the visual design of websites aimed at professional designers. These books are usually published by companies that web designers will already recognize like Taschen, Rockport and New Riders.
"What I've tried to do with Web Design in easy steps is something quite different to either type of book. My book does not teach you how to code HTML or use Photoshop. But neither is it aimed at experienced designers.
"Instead, the book tries to teach novice web designers the concepts and principles they'll need to create an attractive and successful website. I cover design concepts like grids, typography and colour as well more practical skills such as writing for the web, search engines and information architecture.
"My hope is that if you read my book you'll be able to design a more attractive, more successful website than if you hadn't."
The book is published by Computer Step in the UK and Barnes & Noble in the US.
Web Design in easy steps is available to buy online from Amazon.co.uk and is currently one of Waterstones' best-selling books on web design.
