what do you want?
just wondering – after all, it’s my site
Bloody Quite good, isn’t it? Obviously I’m trying to convince you I know what I’m doing, because then you might give me some money to design something for you.
Web design?
Chances are if you’re reading this you’re looking for a website designer, so have a look around. In the ‘Work’ section you can see a few examples of design work I’ve undertaken for other people. Wondering what Flying Solo clients thought of the stuff they gave me a pile of cash for? Have a squint (obviously I’ve edited out the threats of violence and the swear words).
Graphic design?
On the other hand, you might be looking for a graphic designer. Guess what? Yes, in another life, I was a graphic designer. I still am, in fact, but only on Tuesday mornings. But some of my web clients come to me and say “Miles, you’re hugely talented. We beg you, create our identity, our marketing literature, our exhibition stands. And can you do anything about this embarrassing tattoo?”
Just browsing? Displacement activity?
Very often people don’t know exactly why they’re here. That’s okay. If you’re not sure exactly what you need — or more likely, what’s possible, or cost effective — we can have a chat.
You can call me on 01382 731916 to see who’s got the best biscuits. This usually determines if you come to see me or vice versa.
If you’re quite impatient, email me immediately and if I think you’ll have enough money, I’ll probably be in touch.
If you’re just passing through, or if you’re a competitor (yeah, right — as the TTYO* would say) you’ll need to supply your own biscuits, but have a look around anyway.

are you for real?
Does this approach work?
Well, it works for me. I get lots of comments about this site. In a sense, it’s a filter.
I’m sure some people hate it, but then we wouldn’t get on in person either, so it saves both of us from wasting a lot of time.
A lot of those who tell me how refreshing/ amusing/ different this is become clients and/ or recommend me to others.
I’m guessing the guy hiding at the bottom of the garden with the baseball bat didn’t find it very funny, but I can’t please everybody. So I don’t try.
