for high reaching designers looking to outsource their web development

Focus on your zone of genius and leave the coding to us.

We bring to life those technical elements that only an experienced developer can.

Why take the leap into outsourcing?

  • You can let your creative juices run as you finally provide a service and product you are truly proud of and that represent your brand and values.

  • You’ll be able to take on higher-paying clients and still have more time on your hands!

  • You’ll be able to get off the hamster wheel of low-paying and frequent clients that leads to burnout.

  • Skyrocket your confidence as you finally feel like a growing business that takes itself seriously enough to outsource areas that aren’t your zone of genius.

Web Development Showcase

Over the years, we’ve been trusted by talented designers to bring their visions to life. Below are a handful of examples of our work in the wild.

Our Guarantee

 
Template coding where possible

I’ll do my best to provide as many ‘custom templated sections’. This means you or your client can reuse the sections I’ve custom developed throughout the website.

 
Client Friendly Development & Trainings

If needed, I offer video trainings for yourself or your client. If your client plans to maintain their website themselves, I’m here to teach them how.

 
Responsive to screen sizes

With so many different screen sizes now, we’ll make sure your designs look great no matter what device your clients website visitors are using.

 
Prepared and professional workflow

I understand the complications of having a third party involved in your project timeline. My workflow reflects this; I’m organised yet flexible.

 
A database of design possibilities for both Squarespace & Shopify

If you don’t code on these platforms, it’s hard to know what’s possible. I can share my database of advanced designs and functionalities to inspire and inform you.

 
Expert advice on platforms, apps and more

If you need clarity on the nitty-gritty aspects of the project, I’m here to help you so you can confidently advise or pitch your client.

REVIEWS

  • Sophie recently completed work on my small business website and I am SO thrilled with what she created for me. Being a designer I am quite particular and fair to say, quite fussy. Sophie gave me not only an incredible website, but an amazing experience. She made me feel supported in my design decisions and her expert level of care and knowledge for her industry took my website design to the next level. I could only ever have dreamed of having the website that I do now, and I cannot thank Soph enough for all of her incredible work (and patience!) for what she has created for me.

  • Working with Sophie was such a breeze. She took the weight off my shoulders before I'd even signed the contract—it was such a relief knowing my project was going to be in good, capable hands. As a fellow developer, I've admired Sophie's work for a long time, and I knew she would 100% be the person to call on whenever I was in a pinch. And she didn’t disappoint!

  • Working with Sophie to fine tune the development of our clients' sites is always a seamless, enjoyable process. She takes incredible care in fine-tuning everything we ask to make sure the website looks and functions exactly as we need it to, while also sharing the behind-the-scenes of the work she's doing for our own understanding. Highly recommend working with Sophie to bring to life those technical elements that only an experienced developer can! Thanks Sophie!

  • Where do I start - working with Soph from Studio Soph has been an absolute dream! She brought my site vision into reality and exceeded what I designed and imagined! She's an absolute coding whizz and I couldn't recommend her enough! To anyone thinking of working with Sophie - whether you are a stand alone business or another brand/web designer, I say 10000% go for it! She will not only deliver the site that you're envisioning, but also sprinkles her magic to include killer animations, genius coding, amazing responsivity and keeps in mind user journey and SEO. Thank you Soph!

  • It was an absolute joy working with the lovely Soph. As a designer, the development portion of a website project has cost me countless painful hours in the past, but outsourcing to Soph freed me of all of that time and stress. I’m so glad I found her - I can see lots of beautiful collaborations in our future - she’s a dream!

    Trudy Collins, Studio Timeless

  • As a designer, outsourcing my web development to Sophie for a client project was a dream! I found with previous web design work I would suppress my own creativity out of reluctance to mock up something I would not be able to execute through code. Working with Sophie freed me up to focus on my zone of genius: design; and let her handle the rest. The project was so beautifully executed and I see many more collaborations in our future! Thank you, Sophie!x

  • I hired Sophie to develop a Squarespace website I designed for a client when my workload became too overwhelming - I'm so glad I did! From the first moment, she was prepared, professional, creative and collaborative. Incredibly flexible but also wickedly organized, so the process of working together was simple. I'm very happy with the way the site turned out, and I'll use Sophie's dev services again in the future for sure!
