About me
Wish Design. So who is this man?
My name is Alex Young and I am a website designer.
I live in County Durham and provide web design services to companies, charities and organisations throughout the North East of England and beyond.
I can help you by building a website or even redesigning a poorly performing site.
I am an approved supplier on the NEESPR (North East England Service Provider Register), which basically means that I can work alongside your local Business Link to provide a website which may be eligible for funding towards the costs. My NEESPR number is 16588.
Why call the company Wish Design and why have the logo?
The company was named Wish Design because, when it comes to web sites, whatever you wish for, I can design.
The logo emerged from the name. Granting wishes is the stuff of fairies and super natural beings. In the twentieth century, and now the twenty first, arguably the fairies became the superheroes of Marvel and DC Comics.
The logo reflects this transition.
I predominantly build websites which are built onto a Content Management System.
A Content Management System (CMS) allows you to take control of your website, easily managing every aspect of your website, from adding content and images to updating a product catalogue or taking online reservations.
You do not need to have any prior experience with complicated website code. If you can operate a word processor, you can maintain your own website.
My first choice CMS is always Joomla!
The Personal Bit
Born and bred in Newcastle upon Tyne. Moved to Durham to study and then never left the county. Eventually moved back to Durham itself (actually a couple of miles from the centre).
My interests are just about anything that would have the word "geek" applied to it.
I am also passionate about and greatly enjoy networking in Durham, Gateshead, Newcastle, Middlesbrough, Darlington, Stockton and Sunderland. Even across in to Cumbria!
I'm a member of BNI Cuthbert in Durham and a founding member of Gateshead Thunder Networking Group.
I am also an Assistant Director of BNI in Durham and Cumbria and enjoy helping businesses to grow using word of mouth.
As a business tool for increasing your network and sales, I cannot praise BNI highly enough.
No matter what stage your business is at, if you are looking to grow your business, I would urge you to visit your local BNI. If you are based in or near to County Durham, and looking to network with other local businesses, may I offer to have you as my guest at BNI Cuthbert. Just get in touch.
