01
Plan
We start with a free consultation to understand your business, your audience, and what you need the site to do. I'll map out the structure, pages, and key features before writing a line of code.
Website Design
Websites built to work, not just look good
I design and build custom websites for businesses that need more than a template. Fast, mobile-first, and built around one goal - turning visitors into customers.

Not a template
A website built around how your business actually works
Every site I build starts from scratch. No pre-made themes, no drag-and-drop builders, no recycled layouts from the last client. Just a clean, fast website designed to do a specific job for your business.
Designed around your customers and the actions you want them to take
Mobile-first by default - over 60% of traffic comes from phones
Fast loading, SEO-ready, and built to convert from day one
You own it - no lock-in, no ongoing platform fees from me

Website design FAQ
Questions about website builds
If something isn't covered here, just get in touch.
How much does a website cost?
It depends on the size and complexity. A simple small business website will cost less than a large multi-page build with custom features. I'm always transparent about pricing - book a free consultation and I'll give you a clear quote with no hidden costs.
How long does it take?
Most small business websites are designed, built, and tested within 1 to 2 weeks. Larger or more complex projects take longer, but I'll always give you a clear timeline before we start.
What platform do you build on?
I work with a range of platforms depending on what suits your business best. We'll discuss the best option during our initial consultation based on your needs, budget, and how you want to manage the site going forward.
Will I be able to edit the website myself?
If you want to, absolutely. I can build the site so that basic content changes are straightforward. But most of my clients prefer to leave updates to me as part of a monthly maintenance package - it's less hassle and means nothing breaks.
Do you write the content as well?
I'll guide you on structure and help with copy direction. Some clients come with content ready, others need more help - either way, I'll make sure everything reads well and works for both users and search engines.
What about hosting and maintenance?
I offer monthly hosting and maintenance packages on top of the initial build. That covers hosting, security updates, backups, performance monitoring, and any content changes you need. You focus on your business - I keep the site running.
