Started by Craig Richards, way back in 1999, UntiedShoes* is a freelance web design, web development, new media design and development company based in Sunderland, Tyne and Wear, UK, close to Newcastle upon Tyne up in the North East of England.

I am a freelancer, specialising in standards compliant web site design and development, graphic design, programming, usability testing and project management.

Although UntiedShoes* is based in Sunderland in the North East, this has not limited my ability to serve clients from all over the UK and Abroad. No matter where you are, then please do not hesitate to drop me a line.

If you’re looking...

If you're looking for a company in Sunderland or the surrounding area to design and maintain a first class web site then look no further. I develop sites that not only deserve to be seen but get seen too.


With today's business environment, an effective DDA guidelines adhering standards compliant web site is becoming an ever increasingly cost effective way of raising your company's profile. A professionally designed web site can give your company the edge over your competitors allowing your company to reach millions of potential customers around the world. UntiedShoes* combines stylish design with the technical IT dexterity necessary to devise and maintain polished, modern and exciting Web solutions.

Client’s requirements vary considerably from project to project, but there are always three similarities: Ease of use, value for money and designed to the highest standard. UntiedShoes* strives to meet these demands with every website and presentation we create.

What's the process?
Upon your initial contact, I will contact you to discuss your requirements and then arrange a meeting to take it a step further. To save time, often I will put temporary designs online in a hidden url so you can view progress. Or if its print work, I can email PDF's of work for you to view. I will design an initial 'style setter' for you to approve and providing you can supply all relevant information, I will produce work for you on-time and on-budget.
