Website Design & Development
Custom websites, designed and built by hand for small businesses that want to look like they mean it. No templates and no bloated page builders, just a fast, considered site that reflects your business and is built to last.
BEFORE THE FIRST PIXEL
A site with a job to do
A website is not a brochure, it is a tool with a purpose. Before I design anything, I want to understand your business: who you serve, what you need the site to do, and what a good outcome actually looks like, whether that is booked jobs, phone calls, or enquiries landing in your inbox. Every decision after that, from layout to wording to the path a visitor takes, is made in service of that goal. A site that looks good but does nothing for your business is a missed opportunity, and this is the step that prevents it.
DESIGNED FOR YOU
A design that is yours alone
Your site should look like your business, not like a theme thousands of other companies are also running. I design every page from scratch around your brand, your customers, and the way you actually work. That means considered typography, a colour palette chosen for you, and a layout built around your priorities rather than whatever a template happened to allow. The result is a site that feels deliberate and distinct, the kind of first impression that earns trust before a visitor has read a single line.
BUILT TO LAST
Hand-coded and built to perform
Every site I build is written by hand with modern, lightweight code, not assembled on a page builder that ships heavy pages and slows everything down. I build on modern frameworks like Astro and Next.js and deploy on fast, reliable infrastructure, so the foundation is solid from day one. That means quick load times, a layout that works properly on every screen size, and clean code that is straightforward to maintain and extend as your business grows. Search and accessibility foundations are in place from the start, so your site is not just good-looking, it is sound where it counts.
A CLEAN HANDOFF
Launched properly, handed over clearly
Launching a site is more than flipping a switch. I handle the details that get overlooked, from the final checks on real devices to making sure nothing is broken before a single customer arrives. When it goes live, you get a site you actually understand, along with clear guidance on how to run it. If you would rather not think about it at all, ongoing care is available so the site stays in good hands long after launch.
THE DELIVERABLE
What you receive
A custom-designed, hand-coded website covering the core pages your business needs, fully responsive across every device, with a contact form and analytics configured for you and search and accessibility foundations built in. You receive a clean handoff, plain-language guidance on running the site, and the option to bring me back for maintenance or new features whenever you need them.
