About Me
Who am I?
Hi, I’m Simon.
I have over 25 years experience in the design & print industry. Since moving from the high street to working freelance, one thing has really stuck with me — how many people and small businesses end up paying over the odds for printing and web design.
Affordable
That’s why I started ACM Design Company. I wanted to offer a straightforward, affordable service without any pushy sales tactics or hidden agendas. Just honest work at fair prices.

When I’m not working, you’ll usually find me relaxing with my Kindle or in front of the TV, especially if there’s a good sci-fi film or series on. Most of my time, though, is spent being Dad to my three brilliant kids — even if one of them is technically an adult now! They keep me busy, grounded, and remind me what really matters.
To give you a peek into who I am, here are 4 fun facts about me:
-
The “Pixel” Curse: I’m that person who can’t look at a restaurant menu without spotting a certain font, or seeing an alignment error! It’s a bit of a headache when out for dinner (as my wife will agree!), but it means your designs will always be 100% frame-perfect.
-
Fuel of Choice: My obsession with printing is purely practical – I’m never more than arm’s reach from a fresh cuppa.
-
The Office Soundtrack: My best work happens when Planet Rock Radio is playing in the background!
-
Digital vs. Analog: I love the logic of putting a website together, but there’s nothing quite as satisfying as seeing a freshly printed product, hot off the press!
Design with Purpose. Print with Heart.
Most designers stick to one medium – either the screen or the print. I’ve always believed that the most powerful brands live in both. With a background rooted in both web design and professional printing, I help people turn digital visions into tangible realities. Whether I’m building a high-performing website, some stunning business stationery, or crafting a personalised mug for your morning coffee, my goal is the same: to create something that looks beautiful and works perfectly.
My approach is defined by a “measure twice, cut once” philosophy that was passed down from my Grandfather. In the world of web design, that means building intuitive, sleek interfaces that guide your visitors exactly where they need to go. In the world of printing, it means a relentless focus on colour accuracy, durable materials, and high-definition finishes. I don’t just “hit print” or “go live” – I obsess over the details so you don’t have to.
Buying from a small business means you aren’t just another order number in a database. When you work with me, you’re getting a direct line to the creator. I personally oversee every pixel on your site and every product that wings it’s way to you. I believe that a custom gift, quality print, or a professional website should be an investment that lasts, which is why I prioritise premium materials and clean, modern aesthetics in everything I produce.
At the end of the day, I’m in the business of connection. I build the digital platforms that help your business grow and the physical products that make your house feel like a home. I’m here to make sure your first impression is a lasting one – whether it’s on a browser tab or a kitchen table or office desk.
Value For Money
I don’t run a big office or spend loads on advertising, and that’s actually a good thing. It keeps my overheads low, which means I can keep my prices competitive and offer real value for money — without cutting corners.
More importantly, I believe in a personal approach. You’re not just another order number — you’re dealing directly with me, from start to finish.
I’m Simon. I am the ACM Design Company. And I’m at my best when I’m taking the worry out of websites and the pain out of printing!
