The best brands are instantly recognisable, with a complementary combination of colours, styles and fonts. Whether you’re looking for a new logo or a full brand design, get in touch.
I specialise in WordPress websites – the world’s most popular content management system (CMS). Other CMS platforms that I work with are Webflow, Wix and Squarespace. This includes eCommerce platforms like Woocommerce and Shopify.
“Self-build” websites are out there, but I can take the time-consuming task out of your hands and provide you with a flawlessly functioning, unique-to-you design so you can focus on the customers and business that you love.
I speak the coding languages that make things look pretty and perform some funky functionality (funktionality?!). These include HTML5, CSS3, Javascript & PHP. If you need someone to add a bit of custom code to your current site, or need a front-end developer to build your designs, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.
Website hosting can be overwhelming. Whether you don’t know where to start or would like to choose your own hosting site, Derw can be flexible.
I can look after the hosting and domain registration of your site as well as keeping the website ticking over and secure.
I offer hosting and maintenance packages especially for WordPress sites, whether I’ve been the developer or not; this is vital to keep on top of the “back-end” due to its infrastructure of 3rd party plugins, ensuring security and functionality.
Change can be scary and tech isn’t for everyone.
This is a flexible service to match your needs; whether it be advice on new booking software, an in-depth review of your operations or even just helping you create your own website! It all starts with a simple chat.
Tropic is a creative studio, specialising in strategy, brand and design, which I partner closely with and develop their beautiful web designs.

“Derw” is the Welsh (Cymraeg) translation of Oak, and is the trading name of freelance digital designer Iwan Rhys Roberts. Born and raised in North Wales, now based on the west coast of Scotland, I have a background in Operational Management and understand the challenges of directing a smooth running business, but also the value of an effective brand and website.
I grew up in a family home called The Oaks, and the name represents my business values;
Indigenous – I’m passionate about the power of family run and local businesses, and their role within community. I help these businesses offer a viable alternative to big corporates; using tech is key to doing just that. Language and traditions are at the heart of who we are and I can offer multi-lingual websites to serve your customers.
Strength – A bold brand and website provides strong roots for a business to grow and succeed in any competitive market.

Many people don’t know the difference between a domain name and web hosting. Both are essential elements of building a website and have distinct functions.
You pay seperately for the two and these can be purchased from any of thousands of providers. It’s generally thought best to have them all in one place.
