A new site, a move off WordPress, Wix, or Squarespace, an editor your team can actually use, and someone to answer the phone afterwards. Each one is quoted as a fixed price before it starts, so the number you see is the number you pay.
If one of these is the job you have, it is written up properly: what usually goes wrong, what it has to talk to, and how I would approach it.
Off WordPress, Wix, Squarespace, or a page builder, keeping the content and the rankings you already have.
Where people join, book, pay, or sign in, and the rules behind that are yours rather than a plugin's.
Email that arrives, domains you control, hosting that costs what it should, and the phone number on your contact page.
Where a rebuild is not the answer and something specific needs sorting out.
You are buying three things, and none of them are software names.
I keep the tools current rather than building on what I learned three years ago, and I carry the cost of that rather than handing it to you as a rebuild later. If your IT person wants the specifics, they are at the bottom of this section.
Hosting and delivery
Your pages sit close to whoever asks for them, not on one machine in one town. Someone opening the site on a phone in Aberdeen gets it as quickly as someone at a desk in Manchester, and it stays standing when a campaign lands.
How the site is built
Pages arrive finished, not as a set of instructions for the browser to assemble first. That is why the first visit is quick, and why adding a hundred more pages next year will not slow that first page down.
How content works
Content is kept as content, never buried in the design, so your team can change it without touching layout, and reuse it anywhere else you need it. Redesign in five years and the words come with you.
Built with Next.js, Sanity, and Cloudflare, if your IT person asks.
One price for the site, agreed before I start, paid in stages as it gets built. What the work costs is a decision you make once.
You get the number before I start, and it only moves if you ask it to.
A price, before anything starts
Written down after the first call, with what is in it and what is not, so you can take it to whoever signs things.
Paid in stages, as it is built
Split across the job instead of demanded up front, and tied to things you can see happening rather than to dates in a contract.
Changes priced before they start
Ask for something new halfway through and you see what it costs, and what it moves, before I write any of it.
The ones that come up on almost every first call. If yours is not here, ask it and you will get a straight answer.
It depends on how many pages there are and how much of the content already exists, so I quote a fixed price for your site instead of publishing a rate card. You get the number in writing before anything starts, and it moves only if you ask for something that was not in it. Send me a paragraph about what you need and I will tell you the shape of it. How the money works sets out what the fixed price covers and what it never includes.
That comes out of the first call, because the honest answer depends on you as much as on me. The two things that decide it are how many pages there are and how quickly your content and approvals come back. You get a launch date alongside the price, and then a note every week telling you whether it still holds.
I do. There is no team behind me, no account manager in the middle, and nothing handed to a junior once you have signed. The person who quotes the work is the person who builds it. You get my own email address, my direct line once we are working together, and fifteen years of doing this, ten of them on enterprise platforms.
Yes, and it is the part I care most about getting right. Your team gets an editor built around the things you publish, with a preview before anything goes live. Changing a headline, swapping an image, or adding a page takes minutes and does not involve me at all. That is the editor your team gets, built around what you publish.
No. WordPress and the drag and drop builders start quickly, then get slower and more fragile every year, and somebody ends up maintaining a pile of plugins nobody chose. If you are on one now, moving off it is one of the things I do most: off WordPress, off Elementor, off Wix, or off Squarespace.
That is your call. Your team can run the site, because I will have set it up so that is genuinely possible, not just technically possible. If you would rather I stayed involved, there is a monthly arrangement covering changes, hosting, and support, with no minimum term.
No, and I would be careful of anyone offering to build the site and then sell you the marketing for it. What I do is build it quick, structured properly, and easy for a search engine to read, which is the part your SEO person would otherwise spend months asking for. Where the work is a system rather than a site, it is written up job by job: membership, bookings, client portals, and association websites.
In the United Kingdom, working with clients anywhere in it. Most of the work happens remotely, and I will come to you at the start if being in a room together gets the brief right faster.
Describe what you have now in a paragraph and I will tell you which of the four it is, roughly what it takes, and whether I am the right person for it.
