I build practical websites for people running real businesses.

I'm Virgil, a Bristol-based web designer and developer helping small businesses anywhere in the UK look credible, get found, and make it easier for customers to contact them.

Why I started Virgil Digital

Good local businesses often rely on word of mouth while their website is missing, outdated, or difficult to use. I started Virgil Digital to give owners a clear, fast website without agency layers or confusing jargon. You deal directly with the person building it.

Work I can show

Alterations by Nicole is a live site I built for a Bristol tailoring studio, including its enquiry journey and Google presence.

Marvel Desserts had been trading for years without a proper website. I built one for the business and am helping recover its Google Business Profile access after control was left with a previous manager.

I'm also currently working with Rufus.taxi, while building and improving the digital work around these projects.

What I'm building and learning

Alongside client work, I'm building Mealwright, an Android meal-planning and diet app with a meal generator. I'm also studying cybersecurity, which keeps me thinking carefully about privacy, accounts, forms, and the systems behind a website. That is ongoing study, not a claim that Virgil Digital provides security consultancy.

A little about me

Before web work I spent years behind a bar and behind the wheel, including more than 3,000 five-star Uber trips. Those jobs taught me to listen, communicate clearly, stay calm when plans change, and earn trust quickly. That is how I approach client work too.
