We talk first.
A proper conversation before anything else.
Before anything else, we’ll have a proper conversation about your business, what you’re trying to achieve, and what’s actually going to move the needle.
Built to get better with time.
Most websites are finished the day they launch. Yours keeps improving, on fast, secure infrastructure I built and look after myself. Nobody in between.
Good questions.
Websites start from £350. Where yours lands depends on what it needs to do: a few pages for a local business sits at the lower end, while shops, bookings or custom features take more. Either way, you’ll get a clear quote before anything starts, so there are no surprises.
Anywhere from one to ten weeks, depending on scope. A simple site can be live in a week or two, while bigger builds with shops or custom features take longer. You’ll get a realistic timeline at the start and updates the whole way through.
Honestly, I’d rather not. Inherited sites are often held together with old plugins and quick fixes, and patching them usually costs more in the long run. What I’d suggest instead is a clean rebuild, done properly, that you can rely on for years.
Not at all, you’re free to host wherever you like. But hosting with me starts from £150 a year, email included, on the same fast, secure infrastructure I built and look after for all my clients.
Yes. Your site is built so you can change text, images and pages without touching code, and I’ll show you how before handover. If you’d rather not, I’m a message away.
All the time. I work with businesses around the world, mostly over video calls. If you’re local and would rather meet in person, I’m happy to.
That’s the whole point of how I work. Whether it’s a quick question, a new page or more design work, you deal with me directly, for as long as you have the site.
Just a clear idea of what you’re trying to achieve. I’ll guide you through the rest, from the words to the pictures.
