Web design and development.
A website designed for your business specifically, then built by the same person who designed it.
No theme, no page builder, no handoff between a designer and a developer who have never met. One person learns how your customers buy, designs the pages around that, writes the code, and stays on after launch if you want them to.
Most small business websites fail quietly. They look fine, load slowly, say very little, and give a visitor no reason to get in touch. The fix is rarely more pages. It is knowing what the visitor came to find out and putting it where they look first.
Where the time goes
A website takes 1 to 4 weeks, and most of that time is not spent writing code. This is what happens, in order.
Working out what the site is for
Before anything is drawn, we agree what the site has to do: bring in bookings, quote requests or sales, or make a buyer trust you enough to call. Every later decision gets checked against that answer.
Structure and words
I map out the pages and what each one has to say, then work through the copy with you. If there is no copy yet, I write a first draft from a call and whatever material you have. Most sites are let down by their words long before their design.
Design, page by page
Each page type is designed on its own, at phone and desktop width, in your brand and with your real content in it. You see actual pages, not a moodboard, and rounds of revisions are part of the price.
Build
The approved designs are built in code, which is what keeps the pages fast and the design exactly as signed off. Forms, booking, galleries, a CMS for the parts you edit, and any integrations go in at this stage.
Testing and launch
Every page is checked on real phones and browsers, forms are tested end to end, and the technical SEO is in place before the site goes live. I set up the domain and hosting, or deploy onto yours.
What comes with it
- 01
Design from a blank page
No theme bought and recoloured. Layout, type and detail are drawn for your business, so the site does not look like ten thousand others.
- 02
Phone first
Most visitors arrive on a phone, often straight from a search or an ad. Every page is designed and tested at phone width before it is opened out for desktop.
- 03
Speed
Lean pages, images compressed and sized for each screen, and fonts that load without the page jumping. Fast pages keep visitors and help rankings.
- 04
SEO foundations
Page titles and descriptions, one clear heading per page, structured data, a sitemap and alt text on every image. The groundwork search engines need, done from day one.
- 05
Content you can edit
Where you need to change text, add projects or post updates, there is a simple CMS. Where you do not, there is no admin panel to look after.
- 06
Forms that reach you
Contact, quote and booking forms tested end to end, asking for what you need to reply, and landing where you will actually see them.
- 07
Ownership
Your domain, your hosting account, your content. If we ever part ways, you take all of it with you.
- 08
Support after launch
Launch support is included. On monthly pricing, hosting, security updates and a set number of hours of edits each month are covered as well.
What it costs
Two packages cover almost every website. Both can be paid once, or monthly on a 12 month minimum, where the fee also covers hosting and upkeep.
Web Presence
1 to 3 pages
From$1,500
or from $150 per month, 12 month minimum
Landing pages, business websites, and redesigns for brands that need a sharper online presence.
Business Website
5 to 12 pages
From$2,500
or from $250 per month, 12 month minimum
Multi-page websites and full-stack web experiences with stronger structure, forms, integrations, and dynamic functionality where needed.
Who it suits
The businesses I build for tend to share one thing: they are good at what they do, and their website does not show it. Trades and builders, clinics, local service firms, product brands, and companies that have grown past the site a friend made for them years ago.
If what you sell is made to order, there is a page written for you: web design for custom builders, with pages of their own for campervan converters, horsebox builders and garden room builders.
If you already have a site and it is the problem, see website redesign. If the problem is the spreadsheets behind the business rather than the website in front of it, see custom business software.
Finished work is on the portfolio, with a link to the live site wherever there is one.
Common Questions
Do you use WordPress, Wix or Squarespace?
Not by default. Sites are built in code, which keeps them faster and lets the design be exactly what was approved. Where you need to edit content yourself, a lightweight CMS is set up for the parts that change.
How long does a website take?
A landing page usually takes 1 to 2 weeks. A full business website takes 2 to 4 weeks, depending on the number of pages, the features, and how ready your content is.
Will I be able to update the site myself?
Yes, for anything that changes regularly: projects, news, team, prices, stock. That content sits in a CMS with a simple editor. Layout and design are fixed in code on purpose, so nothing can be broken by accident.
Do you write the copy?
I can. Most clients send what they have and I shape it into pages, or I write a first draft from a call. Copy written from scratch for a larger site is quoted as part of the scope.
Is SEO included?
The foundations are: titles and descriptions, heading structure, structured data, a sitemap, fast pages and image alt text. Ongoing SEO, such as new articles every month or link building, is separate work, and I will tell you honestly whether it is worth it for your business.
Where are you based, and do you work with clients abroad?
The studio is registered in Dubai and works with businesses anywhere, including the UK, Europe and the US. Everything runs over video calls, email and shared documents, and messages are answered the same day.
What happens after launch?
Launch support covers anything that comes up in the first weeks. After that you can run the site yourself, or stay on monthly pricing, which covers hosting, security updates and a set number of hours of edits each month.
