about
Joshua Lee Dunbar is a freelance Web Developer and IT Security Consultant focused on delivering sharp, innovative and secure websites. Josh has been creating websites since he was 12 years old and has been working in the IT Security industry for over 5 years.
Graduating from university with a First-class honours in Computer Networking, Joshua achieved the highest average grade within the faculty and was invited to join the British Computer Society shortly after.
Joshua has spent his IT career working within the Insurance and Finance sectors and specializes in vulnerability identification, education and remediation. Joshua has extensive experience implementing vulnerability management solutions in a corporate environment and recently obtained status as a Certified Ethical Hacker.
When creating websites Joshua fills the void that is left by other freelance web designers who focus heavily on aesthetics but fail to consider security components during the design phase. Factoring in industry best practices that includes secure coding, integrity checks, malware scans and data encryption, Joshua hopes to create a product that owners and customers can trust.
It takes 20 years to build a reputation and five minutes to ruin it. If you think about that, you'll do things differently.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why choose JLDigital?
Unlike many Freelancers, I take the time to learn your business. I ascertain the purpose of your website, I research your competitors and I understand your clients. I live and breathe your business to help me design and produce something that not only meets your expectations in terms of aesthetics, functionality and budget, but I also incorporate security principles and provide some insight into what may satisfy your clients to drive more traffic/sales.
How much does it cost?
The cost of a website can vary dramatically in the same way buying a new car can. Factors such as number of pages, functionality, WordPress themes or bespoke design all must be taken into account. Prices will typically start at £300 and will increase as we tailor your website accordingly.
How does the payment process work?
All work is undertaken through a dedicated Freelancer website; www.Freelancer.com. You deposit the agreed amount into the system and can use the Milestone Payment system to release stage payments according to a schedule of goals you set, or release full payment upon completion. The benefit of Freelancer is that you are in control and I only get paid once you are fully satisfied.
You can directly hire me on Freelancer.com here.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why choose JLDigital?
Many security consultants see security as a black and white world; you must do this and you must not do that. I understand that the business needs to work and therefore there needs to be a balance between security and operations. Implementing security to the point where a business cannot work is counterproductive and damaging to business longevity. Security is about measuring and understanding risk and not just following a rule book.
How much does it cost?
Every consultation job is unique making the cost impossible to quote without understanding the specific requirements. Factors such as time, documentation and technicality all affect price. Please get in contact for an accurate quote.
