What I do.
Michael Maddison is an award winning Senior Web, Digital & Creative Designer with more than 25 years of experience crafting inspiring digital experiences for agencies, FTSE 100 companies, global brands, charities and the public sector.
Web Design & development
I’ve designed, built and developed hundreds of websites — from focused single-page sites to large-scale platforms with hundreds of pages. My experience covers the entire creative and technical process, including custom development, dynamic functionality, engaging interactive content, database integration, graphic design, SEO, responsive design, analytics, optimisation and performance improvements to ensure every site looks great, works flawlessly and delivers results.

Why choose me as your Freelance designer?
Choosing a freelance designer in Newcastle gives you direct access to creative expertise without the overheads of a large agency.
Freelance designers offer a more personal service, taking the time to understand your business, brand, and goals while delivering flexible, cost-effective design solutions. With local market knowledge and one-to-one communication throughout the project, a Newcastle freelance designer can create impactful branding, websites, and marketing materials tailored specifically to your audience and business needs.
Give your business or campaign the boost it needs to reach the stars!
I pride myself on being able to successfully interrogate any brief in order to get to the crux of what the project is trying to achieve and how best to get the most out of any communications.
I have experience of working with a range of budgets and am able to maximise every penny in delivering communications that increase awareness, drive traffic, leads and sales.
Work.
I speak plain English and can translate geekspeak!
Having worked with both technical and not-so-technical people I know that some of the language used by techies can be baffling to someone in a less technical role.
I have a foot in both camps – I’m a designer at heart but work in a technical industry and so have learned not only how to communicate using geekspeak, but also to translate into plain English for those people to whom it means very little, and then back again when more technical language is required.
Web design that hits all the right notes!
Great web design isn’t about playing the same track as everyone else. It’s about creating a distinctive digital experience that captures attention, builds engagement, and keeps your audience coming back for an encore. Make your media really sing with attention-grabbing creative campaigns, online and offline—joined-up marketing that’s effective, dynamic, measurable, and delivers real value.
