Web design & development
A website designed from a blank page for your business, coded by hand, and tuned to load in under a second on a phone.
Most small business websites are a template with your logo dropped into it. It works, technically. It also looks like every other business in your category, carries thousands of lines of code you will never use, and loads slowly enough that a real share of your visitors leave before it finishes.
We do it the other way around. We start by understanding what your business sells and who you want calling you, then design a layout that puts exactly that in front of the visitor, then write the code by hand so nothing ships that isn't earning its place.
The work, in detail.
Discovery and strategy
A real conversation about your services, your customers, your competitors and your busy season. That is what the sitemap and the copy come out of.
Free design mock-up
A real home page with your name and services on it, before you pay or sign anything. Revisions until it is right.
Mobile-first build
Designed for the phone first because that is where most of your traffic is, then expanded to tablet and desktop.
Copywriting
We write the page copy for you, in plain language, aimed at the search terms your customers actually type.
Custom graphics and logo work
Logos, icons, backgrounds and image optimization designed to match your brand, or built from scratch if you do not have one yet.
Forms and lead capture
Contact forms, quote requests, booking enquiries and click-to-call, wired to email you the moment someone submits.
Accessibility
Semantic markup, keyboard navigation, screen reader support and WCAG-level contrast, tested rather than assumed.
Performance tuning
Tested against Google Core Web Vitals on a real phone on real cellular, not just on a fast desktop.
Straight answers.
How many pages do I get?
The standard plan covers five pages, which for most local businesses is home, about, services, a portfolio or gallery, and contact. Additional pages are added at no extra monthly cost when they serve a real purpose, such as individual service or city pages that help you rank.
Can I update the site myself?
You can, but most clients would rather not. Unlimited updates are included in every plan - text or email the change and it is usually live the same day. If you would rather have direct control, we can add a simple editor for the sections you change most.
What do you need from me to start?
A conversation, your logo if you have one, any photos of your work, and your current domain details if you already own one. If you have none of that, we can still start - we will handle graphics and help you source or shoot photography.
Why hand-coded instead of WordPress or Wix?
Speed, security and cost. A hand-built static site has no plugins to update, no database to be breached, and nothing loading that your visitors do not need. It is why our sites load in well under a second while the average template site takes several.
