About Chris
More handsome than you could imagine. Perhaps I should let Jude write the rest of this...
Good idea, Chris
Chris has been working on a computer since he found MSPaint and created bank cards for his sister to play shop with.
Chris’ professional experience spans over 20 years in web and digital. He’s successfully managed, consulted and worked on projects for RBS, Renault, Coutts Bank, IKEA, Mazda, Russell Investments, Kia, Citizens Bank, Adam & Company, WorldPay, Schroders, Tenneco, G4S, ABP, Olympus, Grant Thornton, Nexia, RAC, Masterclass and LawPal as well as some lesser known but equally as amazing international and local brands and businesses.
Chris has a wide range of skills including digital consultancy, UI design, UX and web build, sketch and illustration and project management. He knows a lot basically!
More recently Chris' work has been focused on working with entrepreneurs who need a professional and eye catching online presence. It was while working with these clients that the idea for Ready Steady Websites® started to develop.
Ready Steady Websites® is a registered trademark of 2nd Floor Designs Ltd. and was born in March 2019.
About Jude
Jude is the brains behind the whole operation. Without her you wouldn't be looking at a website right now...
I'll take over from here, Jude.
Jude's background is in training, project management and staff management and her career started in youth work which is where she developed the skills to work with me!
Jude previously organised and ran interagency conferences and delivered workshops in Westminster for the Children's Workforce Development Council.
Jude's been working in the web industry since 2010 utilising her project management skills. When we decided to create Ready Steady Websites® she was able to use her training skills to shape the tutorials that we deliver via our membership site and also to plan and deliver a range of workshops including our Website Planning Workshop.
Ready Steady Websites® is a registered trademark of 2nd Floor Designs Ltd. and was born in March 2019.

About Stu
Stu has worked in graphic design since 2005 and he is our in house print design guru. Stu started his own company I’m Cre8tive Design back in 2014 and has worked on many exciting projects, creating artwork for digital advertising for web and social media, print advertising for various publications, brochures & posters and corporate brand identity to name but a few.
Stu has worked with many companies across multiple sectors, such as Gatwick Airport, The Co-op, Ellen Macarthur Foundation, Regent Cruises, Hovertravel, Teleticket, Kinetico & The Food People, as well as charity work. He even has his own online store where he sells some of his customisable print work!
We’ve worked with Stu for years. He’s a fantastic brand and print designer and also turns his hand to working on websites with the same attention to detail he puts into his print work. He has been an invaluable support to us at the times when we get so popular that we can’t manage all the work ourselves so if we mention Stu is working on your project, you’re in safe hands!
