Forty Eight Pixels is founded and run by Natalie Hayward.
Hello, I’m Natalie — a designer with almost 20 years experience designing websites, apps and software for a wide range of clients worldwide. After working in numerous agencies and tech companies, I founded Forty Eight Pixels to return to the work I love doing the most — designing and building beautiful and functional websites for small businesses and enthusiastic founders.
My goal is to provide agency quality work, but with the efficiency and full dedication you get when using a freelancer. I’m the primary designer, Webflow developer and main point of contact, but have the support of some amazing hand-selected freelancers to collaborate with when needed.
Our most commonly asked questions.
Why should we choose you over anyone else?
There are many reasons! But here are a few things that we think are key:
We’re honest — we value straight talking, honest communication. We say it how it is and unlike big agencies, we don’t use project managers. You’ll always be able to talk directly with the people working on your project.
We care — we genuinely want every project to be our best yet. In order give each one the thought, care and attention it deserves, we only take on projects that we can fully dedicate our time to. We love to learn what makes your business special and, together, create something that we are both proud of.
We’re fast and efficient — we dislike agency bloat. From experience, too many people involved, unnecessary meetings and complicated processes slow things down. Our lean approach allows us to move fast without compromising on quality.
What services do you offer?
We primarily provide website design and Webflow development, but if you’re in need of a brand, we partner with some very talented freelancers who specialise in that area.
What is Webflow?
Webflow is a powerful visual design tool that allows designers and developers to create stunning websites without needing to write lots of complex code. Essentially this means we can design a truly custom site and bring it to life quickly and efficiently at an affordable price.
Here are three reasons we choose to use Webflow:
Fast and efficient — a streamlined development process with little or no code means we can deliver and launch custom sites very quickly. Whatever we can design, we can build.
Editable content — a built in content management system (CMS) means you’ll be able to make changes and update content with ease.
Secure hosting — powered by Amazon Web Services, Webflow sites are fast, very secure and automatically backed up.
How long does it take to build a website?
We’re all about working as efficiently as possible, but it depends on the size and complexity of the project. One-page sites can often be completed within a week, where as larger sites can take anywhere between 4 to 10 weeks. We'll set out a realistic timeline before your project starts, so you'll know exactly what to expect and when.
How much is it likely to cost?
The cost of a website is dependent on individual requirements. To provide the most effective value for us and our clients, we quote a flat project fee as opposed to an hourly rate. Send us some details about your project to hello@fortyeightpixels.com and we'll provide you with a custom quote.
What does your process look like?
We like to keep things simple without wasting time on unnecessary meetings and drawn-out processes. Typically each project includes strategy and research, design, development, testing and launch. Our proposals talk about each phase in more detail.
