About Lurexlounge - Lurexlounge Website Design

Lurexlounge is the freelance business name of Leila Hodgkins.

Leila Hodgkins has been a website designer and developer for more than 15 years with experience of working within a marketing agency and now as a freelancer.

Prior to that she worked in marketing and gained a good background to understanding digital marketing and how your website fits into your online and offline marketing strategy.

Her skills include designing and developing websites from scratch either using existing branding or creating an online brand, structuring content to achieve high standards of usability and SEO, and advising about online strategy.

She believes passionately that the Internet is an open platform meant for everyone and, as such, website design should aim to be clear, user-focussed and accessible.

During that time, she has provided excellent technical support and all necessary updates are promptly done.
She listens to my requirements and when new additions are required, she interprets them beautifully.
She is always friendly, professional and thankfully happy to explain to me, in very simple terms, how I navigate my own site!

Leila helped me to design my website in 2017 and since that time many clients have complimented me on the design, layout and content - something I am very proud of.
I regularly send Leila items for her to add to the relevant pages on my website and the service she provides is always prompt, nothing is too much trouble and she is always on hand to advise.
I would not hesitate to recommend Leila to you if you need help to design and/or maintain your own website.
Julie Haylock, Sandhurst Garden Design

Leila designed my website and helped me with some great idiots guide notes so I was able to add blogs, photos, videos and other elements to it. She also pops in on a regular basis to make sure I haven’t messed anything up and do any necessary updates.
She responds quickly to emails and call queries and always has great advice. I have no hesitation in recommending her to you for whatever your website needs may be.
Stuart Scorgie, bristolpowerboat.co.uk

Leila created the most amazing website for me and services and updates it for me too, quickly and efficiently. I highly recommend her services.
Ann Pickard, The Icing Centre

I met Leila at a business seminar and we arranged for her to design my website. Not only did she design a great looking website, but she helped me go through the administration process of it afterwards, with some coaching and training, which was excellent. She kept me informed with regular updates and progression reports. She helped me decide on different ideas for the layout and the content.
She was always available to answer my questions and because of this, I feel more confident to administer my site. I found her to be professional, friendly and interested in helping me with my site. I know if I have a problem, I can contact her and she would be more than happy to help me.
Al Stewart, Transition4u Personal Training

The service Leila provided went way over and above her remit. Not only did she design and produce a fabulous new website for me, but she generously gave time and insight when unexpected complications arose with domain and email transfers. She understood my initial brief well and cleverly managed to translate what was in my head into a modern, fresh website which represented myself and my business perfectly.
Leila has been helpful, friendly and professional from the outset and as such I would have no hesitation in recommending her.
Faye Blackwell, Counselling Somerset

We could not recommend Leila Hodgkins more highly as a website developer and, in particular, for the ongoing technical support that she provides.
Leila is always prompt, efficient and courteous. She is also extremely economical in the service that she offers. She has been a huge asset in the smooth running of the Encore Award.
