Fast, modern websites without the clunky CMS
Most teams are stuck with a website that is slow to load, slow to change, and expensive to keep alive. I build the other kind: quick on a phone, edited by your own people, and priced before I start so the number does not move.
- A price agreed before I start
- Your team edits every word without me
- One person building it, and you know who
Four things, and nothing else
The short list is deliberate. Everything on it is something I have done often enough to price honestly before I start.
A new website
A move off your old platform
Content your team edits
After launch
How it runs
You can stop after the second step with a written price in your hand and nothing owed.
- 01
A call
Half an hour on what the site has to do. If I am the wrong person for it, I will say so and point you somewhere better.
- 02
A price
Written down, with what is in it and what is not. It does not move unless you ask for something new.
- 03
The build
You see it running on a real address from the first week, and get one short note a week until it is done.
- 04
Launch
It goes live, you get a walkthrough, and everything sits in your accounts. Whether I stay involved after that is up to you.
What you get, every time
- It is fast on a phone
- Not fast on a laptop plugged into office wifi. Fast on a phone, on mobile data, on a train, which is where most people will meet you.
- Your team runs it
- Every word, image, and page can be changed by whoever you choose, without me and without a developer. That is the difference between owning a site and renting one.
- It works for everyone
- Tested against WCAG 2.2 AA on the journeys that matter, with a keyboard and a screen reader. Not claimed in a paragraph on a compliance page and never checked.
- I answer the same day
- An email from you gets a reply the same working day. Anything broken goes in front of whatever else I had planned.
What I turn down
Worth saying before you have to ask.
WordPress and page builders
I do not build on WordPress, Wix, Squarespace, or a drag and drop builder. They start quickly and get slower and more fragile every year, and the bill for that arrives later.
Online shops
Selling products online is a different job with different problems. I will point you at someone who does it properly, because learning it on your money would be a poor trade for both of us.
SEO retainers and ads
I build the site so it is quick, structured, and easy to read for a search engine. I do not run your campaigns or your ad budget, and I am wary of anyone selling both.
More than one build at a time
One project has my attention. That is why the work moves, and why there is sometimes a wait before I can start yours.
Tell me what the site has to do
Half an hour on a call, and a straight answer about whether I am the right person to build it. Every message here is read and answered by me, the same working day.
